Didge's Birthday Card!

Well as some of you know Didge's birthday was last week, but I used this image from Bugaboo who is this weeks sponsor over at MAWTT....

Wow! look at the prize!!!!!

This week its my turn to pick the challenge, I decided on...

MORE THAN ONE FOLD (but not an easel)

So its time to get your thinking caps on!!!

I just loved this image as soon as I saw it, its soooooo our Didge....& as for the name NEMO on it...well she dresses kinda Emo-ish but not quite so shes nearly Emo so I decided to call her NEMO!!!!

For my card I used a teardrop template that Nige made me years & years ago & I had totally forgotten I had it, until he said about it!!!

First off i just wanted to thank you all for your get well soon wishes you all made me feel warm & fluffy lol thank you xxx I can't believe its 4 weeks today since I had my op...just another 6 weeks of doing nothing arghhhh!!! Anyway I also wanted to say I am so sorry about not blog hopping as much as I usually do...but by the time I've made a card & done my commenting, I'm ready for my bed getting soooooooo tired so quickly at the moment..but I'm hoping to be back to normal (well as normal as I get!) real soon xxx

Well this weeks challenge at MAWTT is just perfect....I needed to make a

 GOOD LUCK

 card for our eldest Didge!  The school have put her through to do a few of her GCSE's a few years early & she is so scared the little love.....but its like me & her dad have both said "just try your best" I think its a good idea to get the kids used to sitting exams without so much pressure!!!
