This week on Double Dutch. it is a sketch. A friend asked me to make some Easter cards, she asked for slightly religious, not sure if this is what she wanted, but thought I would use this sketch for it anyway. Hope she likes this, as I have 3 more to do along the same theme.

Grace's Card for 2 Sketches 4 you

This is my 4yr old grandaughter's, Grace's card she made to day for Mother's Day so thought I would enter it in the card challenge for 2 sketches 4 you Youth Art Month.
Grace has also made lots more cards too, she really has a talent and loves cardmaking and crafting, and you can't tell her what to do she has her own ideas. Thanks for all your lovely comments, I see she is going to have to get her own blog soon.

Guess where I've been.






















Thought I would let you know where I've been just in case anyone missed me the last few days.






On Sunday Brian and I along with my daughter and son-in-law and not forgetting the most important person of all, little Grace, went to St. pancreas station to catch the Eurostar to Disneyland Resort Paris. We had a fab time there, and here are just a few photos. Not as warm as the one in Florida but a bit nearer.And even though the sun shone (for a little while anyway, whwn it wasn't raining) it was b***dy freezing but we were well layered up, and anyway we were having too much fun to notice the cold too much.
Grace had a great time and loved every minute, as well as the Jasmine dress, and slippers and Stitch and Angel soft toys and more, well it was her 4th birthday last week, not that we really needed that as an excuse to treat her.

Basicgrey challenge 24






Posted by PicasaIt is going to be my grandsons 17th birthday soon, and that's when the trouble starts as he is going to want to learn to drive. Worry, Worry, as I remember from when my son starting driving. At the time he didn't know what it was that I was worring about.

The Basicgrey challenge blog this week is to make something with a pocket and as I had some of HOTP Sara's surfaces lurching in my craft room, which I confess to buying ages ago and having used any of them yet, I thought the peek-a-boo pocket card would work perfect. though we would put some money in the pocket as that's what boy's of 17 usually want. The basicgrey papers are Archiac, so are the rubons and brads.
Sorry about the quality of the photo but it was getting dark by the time I took the photo.
