Recognise this?

Hi all,

I hope you are all enjoying today's sunshine, we did with a spot of gardening and it was such a lovely day that my Lily got to wear her special dress.

I haven't been paper crafting over the last few days but instead I've taken thread to needle (I made that one up!) and made a little dress for Lily. If you recognise where I got my inspiration from , please comment, I'd love to hear from you!

 

 

I'm in the middle of preparing Scrapbook Class for Tuesday, if you would like to join us, our next meeting is on the 18th June. I look forward to seeing you.

 

I will be sharing with you Part 2 of the Secret Garden Set tomorrow and watch this space as I have some very exciting Stampin' Up! news to share with you early next week.

Enjoy the rest of your day.

The Designer Series Papers used for these two pages were the gorgeous Tea for Two. They go so well with the two step stamp Stippled Blossoms, that was stamped here in two coordinating colours.
