Di's December #3 Sketch

Three weeks into December already & this time next week it'll be Christmas day!! Woo-hoo!! Nope, I'm not ready, organised or even close! LOL.
Anyway, Di's sketch this week was a stunner & I love it ... even tho' I struggled with the li'l envelope: I'll definitely use a template next time! I've been playing with Prima product this last few days ... luuuurve anything kinda vintage/shabby or whatever, so I'm lovin' Prima too - & it's no coincidence that they have their DT call on right now *smiles*. Will share my DT application end of the month I think: I don't expect I'll be chosen from the thousand that apply ... but if not, I'll have some great projects to show for it, so it's all good! LOL.
Anyway, pop on over to Di's Blog to see what the rest of the DT did with the sketch ... & maybe have a go yourself?

In case some of Beverley's followers come to this blog. I have just heard that she has been taken ill. I doubt that she will be blogging for a while.
I heard about 3pm UK time. I am her father BTW

I have admired Beverley's wonderful creations since I first saw her cards on Di Hickman's site.

It is such an awful shock and I know this has sent ripples throughout our crafting community.

She will be greatly missed.
