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!

I promised to show some Alton Towers photo’s..
Hopefully will get a slide show done soon.. for now I’ll leave you with these..
Have a great evening everyone,
A Lil' bit of me...

Such a beautiful card, fabulous colouring – as always.
Love these new stamps, but I missed them. By the time I’d logged on Friday night, they’d all done. I’ll have to wait for the next batch to arrive.
Lots of love

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,
