This week it is turn of the DT`s from Team A, so thats includes me !! For my sample I have made a scrapbook page using the fab Crafty Pad Design digi "Rose" and fab paper pack "White and Black Delight"

I decided to go all out and do the sketch and loads of flowers !! I have decoupaged the roses and added a few more leaves and they have all been coloured in with good old promarkers !! I`ve added a bit of stitching round the boarder using a Bazil template and thread and yes it is surpose to be wonky stitching......Carol is a crafting friend of my sisiter-in-law and we all met up now and then to have a crafty day together.

So have a go at The Crafty Pad Challenge and check out what all the other DT`s have created this week and you never know you might be a winner !!
