Look at me back posting already lol. Must be the diet! Which by the way is going well, second day nearly over and tomorrow I get to each one big meal and two shakes so exciting stuff. I struggled today, not so much hungry, but missing the 'sit down with a cup of coffee' lol. Hopefully it will do me some good though. Missing out on sugar and coffee cannot be a bad thing for a while.

Have a great week.

2. Truly Scrumptious - followed their sketch

3. Quixotic Challenge -use an old stamp (got these early last year)

4. Paperplay challenge - use your own handwriting (wrote the school name)

Images - crafters companion

Medium - distress inks, stickles, promarkers

Papers - digi papers

Tools - embossing folder, sewing machine, fancy cut scissors
