New Technique For Me!

I hope you all had a fab weekend, we didn't do much because there was two must watch footie matches on & (and Wolves who Nige & Katie support lost & Newcastle who I support lost as well.....should have gone out!! LOL) as we are going away on Saturday we had a few things to sort out!!

This week over at Craft Your Passion we have a fab challenge for you
