Photo challenge

Hello, everyone. 
 Catch The Bug Challenge Blog
is have a Photo Challenge this week.  Our inspiration is to come from the picture below.  I am still in the mood for Birthday Cards.  So, here I go... 
I just got back from a fabulous time in Phoenix with my family.  We went down for the "Color Run".  We had so much fun even though we got rained on.  We haven't had rain in months and it decides to rain today.

SSW188 and A Day For Daisies

We have exciting news this week.  We have a new member of our Design Team over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday.
I would like to introduce

Holly Gwilliams

We are excited to have Holly join our team.


Here is a little about Holly

Hello, my name is Holly and I live in Yorkshire, UK, where it generally rains and does not much else, but that gives me plenty of time to sit indoors and craft. I have been making cards for about a year now. It started as something to keep me occupied while the hubby (or fiance as he was at the time) watched football (soccer to anyone in the US) and it became a bit of an obsession, so much so that my spare room is now my craft room and I no longer have to sit at the kitchen table.

My other hobbies include sewing (I run a little business making bags and make my own dresses when I can), tap dancing, following MotoGP and reading. I also hope to start studying for my history degree later this year, as well as doing some creative craft courses at my local college, but first I need to go on my honeymoon as I got married over Christmas.

I sometimes wonder how I find time to do all this, and see my friends, as by day I am a legal secretary too.

Crafting has become my passion and I am so excited to be a DT member for SSW.

Holly
