  1. Hi, Sue, a brand new sketch and a beautiful interpretation of it! Love it! Yep, am a member of Let's Scrap and a long-time follower of your blog. One of the techniques I like (and don't use often enough) is the peek-a-book technique, that of hiding something just behind something else! Thanks for the chance to win your great giveaway!!

  5. Thanks so much for hosting the Let's Scrap blog hop. I love the card you made, the flower and butterfly are beautiful.
    I'm not sure if I have a favorite technique, but I do like to distress the edges of my papers.
    By the way the terrible weather finally cleared here and I was able to get up town and buy some of the tape to use for your amazing tutorial. Hopefully I will get a chance to use it on one of the cards I make.

  15. Hi Sue. Its my first time visit here and I love it. I have become a follower here. Loving your sketch for the blog hop and your take on it is gorgeous, not to speak of the yummy candy. My favourite technique in cardmaking is iris folding and in scrapbooking it is combining different {Doing Life} templates to incorporate lots of photos onto a double page layout.
    Would love to see you over at www.desiref.blogspot.com in sunny South Africa.
