Brown Suagr # 9

Hi

I am sure the weeks are getting faster!!! soooo busy at work and with all the flooding in north Yorkshire it has made it take twice as long to get anywhere, which has left very little time for crafting at the moment, which I hate, but I now have 3 days off so hopefully I will get some time in between cleaning and ironing

Anyway its Friday so its time for another weekly challenge over on Brown Sugar this time we are sponsored by

The theme this week is Come Sunday the DT got to use images from the Come Sunday section, I decided that I would use Sunday Suit, I have coloured the image in using a range of brown promarkers, then get the monochrome theme going in the papers and flower.

My Mother in Law had all the paper flowers in a tub not using them, so she kindly gave them to me, there is loads off different flowers in there, I got so excited that she gave them to me, it was like Christmas!!!!!

Make sure you check out the rest of the DTs fab creations and looking forward to seeing yours
