Pixels and Paper and Stuck?! sketch

Gooday to you!! I hope your day is going really well... I can't believe we are in the last week of October already... my goodness!

The challenge over at Pixels and Paper is to be inspired by this picture..

I thought of birthdays and so I scrapped a photo of my youngest at her birthday last year.. She has her birthday on the 28th December and it is a busy time of the year.. last year we spent the day out shopping and so I didnt actually get to make her a cake, so I put a candle in a rum ball (no rum in it!!) and we sang happy birthday to her that way!!

Wish.
I have been digging down into my papers and stickers and things and using older things.. trying to use them up!! A few older chipboard stickers on this layout!

And the sketch for Stuck?! October 15th was another great one..
I decided to cut my photo into 3 pieces instead of using 3 photos and I am quietly happy with how this turned out..Lots of stamping in the back ground for this one..

A little bit country..

The photo was one I took in the gardens in September.. the flowers are fussy cut from an old calendar.. The papers are Pink Paislee Butterfly Garden..a bit of lace and a couple of ribbon bows!!

Well I hope this finds you well .. I do know how busy we all are, so I do appreciate the time you have taken to come by and thanks so much for any comments too!!
