Week #205 - 28th April - Sponsored by The Craft Barn

Good Morning, the weather has been vile this week at Sketchy Towers, so I hope that our challenge this week will brighten up your weekend in some way.
 But before we do, it is with sadness that I have to tell you that Paula has decided to leave the design team :(
We'd like to say a HUGE THANK YOU to Paula for everything she has done for SS and for sharing her talent with us, what an amazing cardmaker she is! Love and best wishes to you Paula xx
