Oh such a long week it was but never mind the weekend is here and I believe we are going to have lots of sunshine, Yippee!!
Ok so over at CES this week Sheena has chosen the theme of Recycling!
Be sure to play along to be in with a chance of a spend at Crafty Emma's Store, all details on the challenge post here along with the gorgeous DT Samples, go check em out!!
So have to say bit dissapointed with my card in the end, didn't quite get the proportions right for some reason but never mind, might try this sketch again coz I think its fab. Anyway my recycled items is a cereal box for matting which I stained with TH Vintage Photo distress Ink, not very original I know LOL
