Lilly

 Good morning fellow crafters I hope you are well. Our Harvey is one next month!!??? How on earth has that happened so fast. He has been super spoilt, as he should be lol. We decided to get him a little kitchen unit thingy, but ended up with a bigger one lol. He spends hours in their kitchen just emptying Katie's cupboards, so hopefully he will empty his own now! Probably not, but it was worth a try! Anyhoos, I've still got a few things to get for him. he loves Blues Clues (which was around when the girls were tiny) so we are gonna get him a few Blue books & a Paw Patrol toy, then I think thats it!

I decided to go along with the extra option for this month. I had seen this image as a freebie, over at Power Poppy, a while ago & knew I would use it for this challenge. Sadly its no longer a freebie 😞So its been sitting in my 'for future challenges' draw all ready to colour!


I decided to do it with no lines! I didn't think it looked right, but then as you keep colouring it changes & I am always amazed when I finish a no lines colouring how good it looks without the harsh lines!! What do you think? Do you prefer colouring with lines or without them!?
