On the house front..we are looking at one tonight at 6.30 that is a definite possible lol..so fingers crossed.

I've got two cards for you today, first my DT card for 'The Crazy Challenge' the theme this week is 'You're A Star' I had sooooooooo much trouble with this one, I blame the footie lol. All I could think about was football all week, so I asked a few friends & hubby. Started making a card, then Danni our eldest decided to tell me her best mates birthday is today, & could I make her a card....as if I'm sitting down doing nothing arrrgggghhh kids x Well all I knew was that she goes horse riding twice a week. I had a look throught my images & stamps & found this one, not sure where I had it from sorry...if someone knows please let me know then I can credit the artist x

Oh Nige also got me a new watermark, having probs finding an easy

way to put it on my cards tho, so any help is very welcome..

 the theme is paper piecing....I have only ever done this once before

 & that was with a stamped image, so using my printer was a whole new adventure for me.
 To be honest I wasn't quite sure what I was doing lol...but I think it turned out ok lol....

I have paper pieced his gown, mortar board & shoes. The paper

I used is handmade so it has white bits in it which look like shading.
