Thought I’d be back bloggin way before now..
but find it heaps harder to get back into swing of things!
I did manage to do the FRIDAY SKETCHERS challenge for this week..
the sketch was provided by the lovely Jacqueline and I absolutely loved it 
Yesterday my new Manga kids from SUGAR NELLIE arrived and I just had to get colouring straight away…
they will be available from FUNKYKITS again soon, check SN blog for updates
I have used two of the four stamps for my card
by masking the girl/child and stamped the boy next to them.
Colouring has been done with Copics and the papers/ribbon is from TLC.
Thanks again for the sketch Jacqueline!

Your card is just stunning Marlene. I love these new images, just trying to be good and just admire yours at the moment though !!! I love the scrummy papers you have used and all those gorgeous ribbons.
Glad you had a good time at Alton Towers. It’s years since I last went. I scared myself silly in Florida on our honeymoon on all the rides and I don’t think I can bring myself to do all that again – you have to be very brave on some of them !
Hugs,
