So thank you from the bottom of my heart, your support means so much....

I followed the sketch from over at Sketch Saturday and also covered the following challenges:-

1 - Sweet Stampin / In Stitches
2 - Corrosive / Paper Piercing

3 - The Crafty Pad / Stitching

4 - Allsorts / In Stitches

I have used a new release from the Digi Stamp Boutique....''Simply Baby Collection''

Charity Challenge In Memory Of My Dad....

Good Morning...

You may or may not be aware that my Dad died last September following an accident at work...in his memory my family & I are raising funds for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance charity.

Whilst chatting to Paula from Pollycraft about the fundraising she did the most amazing thing and offered to draw a special edition digi for me in Dads memory. I gave Paula a brief on my Dad and here is...''Ronnie Relaxing''

Isn't he fantastic??!!! Hope you love him as much as I do...

I just can't thank Paula enough for her amazing help and support...

Huge thanks Paula xxx

''Ronnie'' is available to buy for only £1.50 directly from me and also from the Pollycraft shop. ALL proceeds from the sales will go to the YAA.

Oh what a day!!

I had hoped to get these posted early today but have spent most of it in hospital with my adorable nephew. He fell off a frame in the park and has broken his wrist in two places as well as having a very bad fracture.

Back to hospital tomorrow as they need to put him to sleep to set and plaster it, he's got a temporary plaster on for tonight.

Right onto my challenge cards...
