Paper Play Challenges - A Sketch to Follow

Hi Blogging Buddies, I am excited to share this post with you today! Its is Thursday and that means it is time for another Paper Play Challenge and this week it is a sketch designed by Sandie. It is a great sketch to use too! I have included it in this post just below. It is a great way to show off some lovely Designer Papers and I used my new SU Cottage Wall papers.
This week we are sponsored by Meljen's Designs and I was given this sweet little bunny to use and I love this image! It's proper name is "Garden Bun Bun Fairy" and you can buy it for only $3 here. The sentiment I downloaded for free. Did you know Meljen Designs has a freebie every Monday? Check them out here. I really love the style of these images...cute with swirls and sparkles surrouinding them and I love the font of the sentiments as well.
Will you be playing along this week? I'd love you to! Make a card with this sketch and enter...


I took a photo to show you the inside of my card as well. Kept it simple, but matching to the front of the card. I used SU Certainly Celery and Brushed Silver to go with th DP and the Whisper White.
I would like to enter the follwoing challenges:
Paper Take Weekly - In the Garden Challenge
The Play Date Cafe - Purple, Lilac and Green
Stampavie and More - Anything Goes
Two exciting things happened at our place this week. The first one was that our chickens that we have had since they were three days old (and they are now about 5 months old) laid their first two eggs. So that was very cool! And the second thing is that we have got a new dog, Ellie living with us now. She comes from Mum and Dad's farm and she is pretty old, but they were happy to give her to us because they have got a new sheep dog to train. Ellie is a Border Collie crossed with Cattle Dog so she has lots of energy! I have been taking her for lots of walks, and she just loves pats and attention. This is a photo of her below after she had a swim in the dam. She does get very dirty here...especially as we have had lots of rain and there is mud everywhere!
I hope you are having a lovely week...thanks for visiting me today!

Hi Alicia,
your cards are lovely, and so is the doggie :))
Thanks for your nice comment and sweet wish, and about the quilt.... go for it, girl!!!!! It's simple, if you can sew. You'll be very happy with it in the end.
Hugs,

Oh your card is stunning, that image is so cute and yummy DPs! Can see why you got them!
Hope your weather is ok, we've got some more sunshine, can't wait for the next 2 months to pass!! LOL! Then I'm sure I'll be back to complaining about the heat, flies and mosquitos, oh.... and snakes!! Hopefully having Ellie will help keep them away at your place! ♥
