STUCK?! January 15 2018 Reveal.

Hello there,
  Tis a little bit cooler here today and quite pleasant after the extreme heat we have been experiencing, and then seeing my friends across the seas having the extreme cold and snow... what an amazing world we live in, and how wonderful it is to have friends around the world to share our love of scrapbooking with... I hope your day is going well!

and the sketch is....

  and dont forget to pop over to the blog to see the way the design team have each created for this sketch..

and my take..

some closer views..

die cuts, clusters and some stamping on the back ground for interest..

The little hearts are from the cog die cut and the little flower gem has been in my stash for years.. I am trying to use stuff up, and perhaps it will take me years to make a dent, but you just gotta start somewhere!!!

my layout...  trust, love.

These photos are of my Dd and our old horse who is no longer with us after she hurt her foot really badly, so these moments are to be treasured...  Bess was a give away her owner no longer wanted her, but she had several happy years with us..  its funny how these old photos bring back the memories..

So again I do thank you for coming by, I do like to keep my blog going as it will be my digital scrap print and something to one day look back on...  and the comments you leave me are very special too...
