Crazy 4 Challenges!!!

Hi Everyone,
Boy am I tired..we had such heavy rain here this morning about 3am it woke me up and I just could not get back to sleep..so after laying there Hubby had to be up at 4am to go to work at 5am so I got up with him and then made this card so if it doesn't look right you can blame it on the rain for waking me up early...I did another class this morning at the craft shop..we had fun again 12 lovely ladies plus me...They went home with two cards and were happy with what they had made so I'm happy..they have booked classes up to May so I need to get my thinking cap on....Anyway on to my card I have used one of Janet's lovely design's from Pink Gem I love these stamps they are gorgeous..this one is winter Milly..



I have coloured her with distress inks again..I'm hoping I'm getting better with them...I cut her out with one of my nesties...



I put glitter on top of the tree and used some flower soft for her scarf,boot,ear muffs and around her sleeves...



the papers are from a pad which you can use with the slice machine don't have one I just liked the papers...the sentiment is one of Janet's as well and the ribbon is from my stash..the snowflakes are cut out with card from my stash and the gem dew drops are from Tabby crafts...Off now to see how my spag bol is gettting on I didn't manage to get lunch today as we slightly over ran in the class so I'm starving..might have to go and see if I can have a chew on the other half's neck he's just come in..Oh no that's not when your hungary is it I'll save that tale for another day...enjoy the rest of the day..

Hi Mandy, I think youve done a brilliant job on your card, not sure what the problem is, Janet will be thrilled to see what a gorgeous card youve made. We had a similar problem at 1.30 the other morning, it wasnt the rain it was a mouse in our loft, they are coming in from next door, they really are a real pain. Anyway love your card is fantastic. With love and hugs Shirleyxxxxxxxxx
