THIRD AND FINAL POST FOR TODAY.
There is a fabulous theme for the sketch at Moving along with the times. The theme is childhood memories. The DT have come up with some great ideas this week. I looked through my images and could think of so many to use. In the end I decided to go with these roses as I remember my friend and I picking rose petals and putting them into a jar of water thinking we could make some perfume! Needless to say it didn't work. Well I was only about 4 at the time.
The colour scheme of pink and cream came from Creative Inspirations and the recipe of 1 patterned paper, 1 embossing, 1 button and 1 ribbon is for A Spoonful of Sugar. I used one of my neglected Cuttlebug embossing frills for the border. The paper is another of the Papermania capsule collection. I know that the pink looks a bit purple on the photo but it is pink, I promise you.
