Sorry it's been so long but we have been away and I just couldn't get my act in gear when we got back. But I am all sorted now so no excuse! LOL.
Firstly I had better mention
Sketches by Tamara from last week as well as this week. Last weeks sketch was a 6x12 and I love doing this size.

I used some bird photos that Hubby took while out on his morning walk with the dog.
This weeks sketch #97 I used some gorgeous pics of the Granddaughter that were taken when we popped in to see
Sandie last week.

She is just so photogenic and I love getting photos of her.
As well as my Sketches layouts I have been busy with a layout for
Sandie's distressing challenge over at
My Sketch World I have to say I am not that good at distressing but I had to have ago. I have scrapped this photo before but I wasn't happy with it so it had to be done again. Just realized the pic isn't very clear but you get the idea.

What do you do if you aren't happy with a layout?? Do you leabe the original and scrap another layout of rip the old one up and start again?
Now I must draw your attention to a Scrap you Man challenge over at
It's a Creative World It has been running all month and it is very remiss of me not to have mentioned it before. It is to draw attention to the Orchid Cancer Appeal and any donations however small would be appreciated. Anyway you still have time to enter and we have some super sponsers onboard, so some great prizes up for grabs.
Be sure to check out the
It's A Creative World blog on thursday when my layout class goes live.
Well thanks for dropping by, will be back next week. Have a good week and take care.
