Hello... I hope you are all doing ok today... it's the turn of Team B once again at
'Claire's Sketch'
You can rotate the Sketch if you wish....
I decided to make a Mother's Day Card with this lovely sketch. Paper and Sentiment are Papermania Botanicals. The die is Jasmine Frame by Memory Box... I've had it for years and this is the first time I've used it! but love it, so will use it again very soon! Pinwheel is by Papermania. Ribbon and Buttons are from Stash. I've put a Happy Mother's Day sentiment inside the card.
The adorable image was a freebie last year with Making Cards Magazine..... and it takes me right back to my childhood... as Mum used to take us on picnics like this down the meadows nearby.. I also think this dog looks a bit like the one we had back then... he was called Jock....
Here's a couple of photos of us down the meadows...
Me, Mum and Jock

Well it's taken me a long while to get over this latest chest infection, but I am feeling a lot better now.... still quite tired but I am on the mend. Thanks for all your good wishes.
Can't believe we are nearly at end of January! The Blackbird woke me up Tuesday morning 4.30am singing... think he was considering building his nest for Spring... but bet he has put that on hold after today (Wednesday)... it's SO cold..... brrrr!! glad I don't have to go out today!!
Off to get a mug of Hot Chocolate now... ;-)

I just went to check and the die is memory box Jasmine frame - I haven't used mine for ages, it might get an outing now I've been reminded I've got it lol.

Hi Sue what a gorgeous card and your never used before die is a stunner I'm sure you will be using it again soon. Lovely image it takes me back to my childhood when my sister and I used to play in our 'bakery' in the garden all day with our china tea sets. Your pictures of you with your Mum and Brother in the meadow are lovely so nostalgic. Stay warm, Susan x

It happens quite often that I need to leave my new goodies on my desk for some time before I use them, it's my way of getting ideas and inspiration. But how you managed to leave this beautiful frame die unused for a year I don't know. BUT, once you used it your sure made a beauty with it! This is a gorgeous vintage design. And it's so fun to see those photos of you as a child too...
Fabulous take on the sketch sweetie! Love the yellow roses and that image is totally adorable. Also love your beautiful family shots, my heart skipped a beat when I saw your mum though, for she sooooo reminds me of my own... And if you take into consideration that my mum absolutely loved yellow... phew... or is it the red wine that's making me emotional ;-) Lots of love and hugs, Ira xox
