Another First

Well it's blowing a gale out there today, great for getting the washing dry I guess, (as long as it doesn't get blown far and wide)!!

I've made a card for my youngest, she's turning 11 next month. She's been learning guitar this year and I stumbled across these amazing images Kenny K you can purchase them here. And what did I find, but an image of a girly girl with a guitar.

This is my card and the challenges I would like to enter it into.

Kenny K - Embossing (I heat embossed the yellow around the nestability)
Stamp it Crazy - Girly Girl
Totally Gorjuss - Flowers

Taaa Daaaa.... Here she is :0






















Must be off, have lunch with friends up in Titirangi Village (that's if hubby gets home from his call out to fix something at the hospital).

DP2 Challenge ~ Wings

Hey hey

Well today has been a mixed day of sorts.

• Weather ~ VERY wet!
  
• Good news on the home front ~ hubby has work for the next 4 months anyway, then after that we'll see what the outcome will be, fingers crossed he doesn't lose his job right on Christmas xx
• My weee girl (well she's nearly 11, but still my baby) has a big swollen finger. She went to catch a ball yesterday at school and her finger bent back and went "click".
• Thursday night we enrolled her into Intermediate School
• And today I enrolled Jess (my middle child) into High School. They're growing up so fast

I went to scrapbooking today, I managed to make a card in which I'll be entering into a few challenges.

And when I got home I made a great looking fruit cake, hubby's fav!!

Interesting times ahead ~ Challenges thrown in the mix too

Good evening all,

Well our family has some interesting times ahead of us. My husband's company went into receivership yesterday, and will more than likely be liquidated. We are unsure of our stance in the company and are being left in the dark by head office overseas. Only time will tell what the outcome will be ....

Anyway to ease the nerves I made a card tonight for a challenge or two ...

Mo's DP2 Challenge 'Christmas in July'
Little Red Wagon 'Christmas in July'
Stamp Something: 'Christmas in July'
Our Creative Corner: 'Christmas in July'
Digi Doodle Shop's Best: 'Punch or Cut Me ... Challenge #18'


This layout is from this week's Dare U 2 Digistamp sketch challenge:



















The image is from the delightful Mo Manning.






















I've coloured her with Copics, used my Nesties, Cuttlebug snow die and Martha Stewart punch, with a little Kindy Glitz for a bit of sparkle.

TFL and TTFN,
