Sweet Sketches for September

 Hello, crafting friends. It's Kathie from New Zealand here for you this month. I know I'm at the other end of the world for most of you.  But did you know we are the first country in the world to see the new day?  New Zealand has a tiny population compared to other countries in the world, as of 2024, we reach just over 5 million.  I live about an hour's drive from Auckland, which is our largest city.

Here are a couple of photos of Auckland by night.



Now it's time to see our new sketches for September.

Thanks so much for joining us this month. We can't wait to visit your blogs and check out what you've created for us.   Be sure to check back here on 17th September for our August winner and Top 3.  Happy crafting, everyone.

For September, we have two new, fabulous sketches for you this month, even if I do say so myself.  I love designing them; by the time I create with them, a year has passed, as I work a year in advance with my sketches, and they are a surprise for me as well.

We really hope you have the time to play along with us this month.  There are three fab sketch options for you to choose from, and if you're feeling crafty, you could always try them all. 
Remember to add the sketch and a link back to our challenge blog to your post. 

Don't forget you can check us out over on

For our lucky winner, there is a little surprise and a place as a guest designer to win.
So it's worth playing along with us!
This challenge is open until 23.55 UK time on Tuesday, 30th September 2025.

Happy crafting everyone
Hugs
