Friday 13th!!

 Its time for a new challenge over at My Time To Craft. As it falls on Friday the 13th of the month I decided I wanted to do a fun challenge, so the theme for the next fortnight is....

GOOD LUCK

My friend is going through a rough time at the moment, having contracted this awful virus & as she is waiting for some exam results, that she took like a bazillion years ago!! I thought this was the perfect opportunity to send her a good luck card & to let her know I'm thinking of her xx

Gold Christmas

 Good morning I hope you are all doing well. We have started getting Harvey a few bits for Christmas. I'm so excited, its his first Christmas & he's at home with us!! its going to be amazing!! I have been saying to Katie, save your money, stay at home a little longer lol...she doesn't realise I was only saying it so they don't move out! I'm dreading it, its going to be so empty & quiet when they do move out.

Anyhoos, I'm here to share my latest DT make for 'Cardz 4 Galz' not bore you with my wittering's lol!!

So for the next fortnight we want to see your 

SILVER & OR GOLD 

If you look closely (taking a photo of this card was a nightmare) you can see I have both gold & silver.

I brought some gold mirri card from Hunkydory years ago & found out whilst playing with it, if you take off the top coat of gold its silver underneath. If you look at my sentiment you will see what I mean, I have taken the top half of the gold away & of course the trees have been scrubbed to reveal silver.....how cool is that!
