Here are the details!

CLICK HERE to see our gallery of past sketches!
My card is really simple this week! I decided to use Sketch #12...I love the classic design...I had the cardinal on my desk all coloured and waiting for a card! This has been a hectic week because I moved schools and have taken on a new grade! Ack! So please forgive my short post!! My new school is 40 minutes away from my home and my old school was 8 mins...it is a bit of an adjustment!!!
I hope you will join in our One Year Anniversary at Freshly Made Sketches this week!!!
Congrats on your one year anniversary Lesley! I love playing with Freshly Made Sketches and I always find heaps of inspiration from the DT!
