happy birthday - stampingbella image

 good morning crafters

yikes Monday's are coming around way to quick and today i thought i'd share my latest project using stampingbella's: edna loves to sweep (stamp now retired).

i have used my distress re-inkers to colour her and i keep meaning to get my pencils out for a change, but i sat down stamped and before i realised i'd not got my pencil paper out or my pencils, maybe soon..lol
