Good morning everyone and a big Happy Weekend to you all! Its so nice to get up and not hear the pitter patter of rain on the window - for how long this will last I don't know. Evidently here in the Northwest of England we have had the most rain, I only hope they are managing to save some so we can avoid a hosepipe ban in the summer lol!
At Card Makin' Mamas it is time for the first challenge of 2013 which is going to be Anything Goes, nice and easy for you all. Here is my card:
I seem to have a lot of male birthdays around now so I have gone for a male card. The image is by Rick St Dennis and has been coloured with Copics. The paper was loose so sorry don't know who it is by but it seemed to echo the background of the image. The border is a new one I got at Christmas and is MFT. The balloons and pennant are dies from Lil' Inker and the sentiment is computer generated.
To enter all you need is a card (we are a card making challenge) so go over to the challenge and get your entry in.
Challenges entered:
Crafts 4 Eternity - Something New (my new border die)
Crafty Catz - Anything Goes
Fairy Tale Challenge - Animals and Pets
Sparkle and Glitter - New Beginnings (I have used a new die)
Forever Friends - Birthdays
We made it to the pictures the other night to see Life of Pi and it was excellent, the 3D effects were brilliant. Just a quiet weekend for us just a bit of shopping and that's it. Hope you all have a good weekend whatever you are doing and you can avoid these nasty bugs that are doing the rounds! Thanks for looking and take care xx
