Sketch 136

Please give a big Pencil Lines welcome to this weeks guest artist, Maria McPherson. Anna provided this weeks sketch.

Here is what Maria had to say:

I'm Maria McPherson and I'm very lucky to live in the beautiful county of Northumberland in northern England. I live here with my gorgeous, but very naughty, two cats after being widowed very suddenly 3 years ago. Life, I'm happy to say, is now on the up again and I'm starting to enjoy living again. For my "proper" job (you know, the one that pays all the bills!) I am a staff nurse working in elderly care which I absolutely love! Weekends are when I get to play with paper, photos and glue.
I have been addicted to crafts in one shape or form since I was a small child. For Christmas and Birthdays, my mother always used to buy my sister and I some kind of craft kit, wholeheartedly encouraging us to create. So I guess have her to blame for my ongoing addiction!!! I've been scrapping for just over 3 years and love the clean and simple approach with lots of white space on layouts. I find my inspiration in every day life wherever or whatever and I just love bright colour, it makes me smile! I'm delighted to have just secured a place on the Bellaboo Design Team and am looking forward to being kept very busy creating!
I'd like to say a HUGE thank you to the Pencil Lines team for asking me to play along this week.

Great sketch, definitely going to try this one. Loved the Toilet Training one - just got my little one into undies only (except for night) so I totally relate. Very cute.

Gotta say that despite it's beauty, Michelle's LO will definetly NOT be one of her son's favorite when he hits "teenagerhood"!!!!!lol
