One Card Two Challenges

Well I thought whilst hubby is trying not to brake his neck snowboarding on the Wii fit (lol so funny to watch, he keeps sticking his arse out lolol) I thought I'd get my latest challenge card posted...
Well I've been on a roll this week with my challege cards and also inbetween all of them I've managed to do 40, 21st birthday invites, even though they were pretty basic, they seem to take ages to do, but got them finished today...

Totally Papercrafts Challenge

We went down to Rutland on Saturday, as most of you know hubby and Kt love their birdie watching, so we went to see what we could see...Can't really remember seeing much but blinkin nora it was blurry cold lol....But the girlies, Nige and Charlie enjoyed themselves...
Last week we got a new car (well 2nd hand car lol) a Fiat Multipla, yeah I know weird looking thing but its massive inside really, really, really big...big enough for Sammy (mobility scooter) and Charlie our greyhound....and still room for 6 people...Oh yeah and KT decided to call him Fribbet...lol
Well when we went to bed last night there was no snow around....woke up this morning at 6 and we had between 4 and 5 inches of the 'orrible stuff lol

Kt's Valentines card

Wow I can't believe how long I've been away from bloggong land....these last two weeks have been really bad for me health wise...my knee has been driving me mad, I've been having the odd day where I just haven't felt safe even walking around the house...

Anyways on to something much better...Kt our youngest (12 last week) comes to my craft class with me and absolutely loves it, and she has made some really fab cards the last few times we have been....last week we made a funny shaped card ot sure what to call it or what its called, but she did make a great job of it, so she decided to finish it off at home and change it into a Valentines Day card for Ryan her boyfriend (my baby is all grown up...its not fair lol)
She also decided to enter it in the challenge over at Little Hands Do Crafts as their topic this month is Valentines....





thanks for looking hugs KT xxxx

The first one is for the challenge over on Pollycraft where they are asking for 'Things With Wings' and as I absolutely love this little Star Fairy I thought I would use her....and for a challenge over on Digital Tuesday where they are asking for different folds, and to use a digi image.
