STUCK?! MARCH 1ST Sketch & KRAFT+ March 2018..

Hello there!
I am just a little late with my March blog post, but I assure you I have a really good excuse...

I have been down at my Daughters place helping out a bit as she has just had her first baby... my beautiful Grand daughter Gloria! So I haven't been able to access my computer where all my files are... and honestly... I probably wouldn't have wanted to be on the computer when I could have this darling in my arms!! I am home now and trying to get back to normal, and catch up with stuff after 5 days away!! so I am sure you all you Grand mothers will totally understand!!

so onto the March 1st Sketch for STUCK?! SKETCHES which is another fabulous sketch which I enjoyed creating with..
but first a big thanks to the wonderful sponsors. There are three supporting this challenge..

A big thank you goes out to Wycinanka, for sponsoring this challenge, they are offering a beautiful themed chipboard prize pack to one lucky participant!

In a small factory at the foot of the Izera Mounains, with passion and involvement, we create unusual products to handicraft. In Wycinanka's offer you will find chipboards, stencils, stamps and ... just look at www.wycinanka.net

AND thank you to SpiegelMom Scraps, who are also sponsoring this challenge, offering three of the newly revealed sequin mixes for the month, to a second lucky participant!

Hi everyone! I'm Jody Spiegelhoff, the proud owner of SpiegelMom Scrap (SMS). I live in Wisconsin, USA with my busy and crazy blended family. I’ve been crafting since childhood, and began stamping and scrapbooking in 2002. Creating has always been my quiet time and firmly believe that taking a little time each day to be creative is so important and good for our souls. I started SMS officially in 2010 and have loved growing my business ever since. I totally love creating unique sequin mixes which are inspired by a variety of things around me; nature, new scrapbook collections, artwork, my daughters and more. You can find SMS on Instagram @Spiegelmom_Scraps, on Facebook, YouTube and the website www.spiegelmomscraps.com. We'd love for you to stop by and check us out! The Sparklers Design Team and I love to read your sweet comments.
