Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 - October

Hello and welcome back dear crafty friends,

 I'm Doris - known as Kleido - and I'm your hostess this month.

Every month we have 2 amazing sketches for you, designed by Kathie, which you can also rotate and/or flip - but we should still be able to recognize them.

We have a sketch from our archives if you still need more inspiration.

We hope we inspire you a little with our work and look forward to your numerous participants.

Thank you so much for guest designing with us this month.

There will be more great inspiration from them in a couple of weeks.

And these fantastic inspirations were created by our design team.
