Retro and not a hint of Pink




Evening everyone, this is the second card Ive made in this retro series and varies slightly to the first one in the fact that the scissors are embossed in clear embossing powder and the colour may vary slightly. I have entered it into this weeks Hobby Cutz challenge- Girly but no Pink and as you'll see not a hint of pink in sight. Well its very late or should I say very early so I'm off to bed. Night everyone.... Hugs xx

A Little Dotty




 
Evening Everyone, I cant believe were mid week already and today has flown by too as we had our young grand daughter here poorly all day with an ear infection so has been off school.. Calpol seemed to help a little and she slept late morning and stayed with Chris (my hubby) whilst I took my car to be checked out as a warning light kept coming on saying there was an engine fault. Two and a half hours later,  it appears there is a fan problem and with no spare part available, means another trip to the garage tomorrow. This evenings card was made around a scripture sentiment I downloaded from Word Art Wednesday's blog and thought I'd use it to enter this weeks challenge called "Anything Goes" and I notice they have another scripture reading this week so I may just have to use that one too. Happy Crafting! Hugs.
