Some of you may already know this, but for those of you who dont, and who love Pencillines, you will be happy to know that even though the Pencillines challenge blog has closed down, the sketches and wonderful designs continue. Anna Bowkis and the design team ( me included) have a regular spot in the brilliant UK owned magazine called 'Scrapbook magazine'. Each issue, theres a new sketch from Anna, and 6 examples of how the DT have interpereted that sketch.

Here's Annas gorgeous sketch

New sketch for TSBM issue 65, deadline TBC
I have Evgenia Petzer, Karen Shady and Solange Marques for this sketch, I need 3 more ladies from team A to contribute please x


It was my turn this month to play, so here is my layout, using some adorable photos of my 2 youngest people.





I have lots more to share in the next week, so please call in again soon. Thanks so much for visiting, and thanks for all the wonderful comments xx
