Celebrate

It's school holidays in my part of the world. Yea, no school lunches to make, this puts a smile on my face!
Anyway, this week is Team B's turn at Lets Get Sketchy.
The sketch this week is one of my favourites by Jenessa Franco and here is my take

 
I have used Kaisercraft papers and stickers from a kit by My Creative Scrapbook.
I have lightly inked my edges and added hand stitching to my photo mat.
Flowers are by Prima, lettering by Doodlebug
 
Some close ups
 

 
 
Here is the sketch to follow
I hope you can play along with us this week!

I have hand stitched around the two papers under my photo and doodled stitched around the edge of my background paper.
I highlighted edges with some sequins,how do you use these things up, they never seem to get less in the packet!
