Sketch at Hobbystempels.

Can you believe that September has began today? We hardly had any summer here.... the leafs on the trees had brown edges at the end of August.... And each morning I get up, open the curtains and pray for a sunny day.... well... none..... I felt like the little girl that I used on this card.
After a month of vacation time the fun at the Blog of Hobbystempels starts again today!Marga made a wonderful sketch for you all to make! Here is what I came up with.

This cutie is called "Jill is two" by Mo Manning, a new arrival at Hobbystempels!

You have to admit that she is adorable in her temper!!! 

I stamped her on kraft cardstock and colored her with Prisma Color Pencils.

Design Paper is Bo Bunny Vicky B
