Sketch it #175 @ AnnaBelle Stamps

Posted by on January 3, 2014 in Annabelle Stamps, Butterfly, Friendship cards, Hero Arts | 7 comments

Happy New Year! We are home from our mammoth Christmas holiday/adventure, visiting so many family and friends (we clocked about 3500kms all up). It was lovely seeing everyone but boy does it feel good to be home. There is no place like home šŸ™‚

This week at AnnaBelle Stamps it is time for this month’s challenge, which is a sketch.

We are having the most beautiful summer weather here on the South Coast. It was a cool and overcast 24 degrees today, unlike the majority of NSW! At my parent’s farm in North West NSW, it was a sweltering 44 degrees (that’s 111.2 degrees Fahrenheit!) Boy am I glad for our cool, coastal sea breezes. My card today reflects the warm colours of summer.

  1. Oh that butterfly is a beauty, she’s gorgeous!! Has to be a she, as she sparkles beautifully! Glad you had safe travels, when we lived in regional WA, the Christmas travel was long, tiring and as much as it was wonderful to catch up with everyone, I couldn’t wait to be home. xx M

  2. Absolutely gorgeous Marion! Love how bright and beautiful it is – and the colour of the butterfly looks gorgeous on the radiating beams on the background.

    Great that you had a fantastic holiday – wow, that’s a LOT of driving!

    Happy New Year to you and your family – and may all your dreams come true šŸ™‚
