Whoops!

Hello there!

I hope you are keeping well and have had a fab week!

I had a wonderful holiday...a week in sunny Spain was just what the doctor ordered. Although after a week back at work that holiday now feels like a very long time ago already! Here is the swimming pool where I spent most of my week....

 
We're already planning our girlie holiday for next year!
 
Anyway, I'm back this week with a fab new challenge from My Time to Craft! This time the challenge is "sorry I forgot your Birthday".....now I think I need a lot of these cards! I have a diary...and I write everyone's Birthdays down...but I seem to forget a lot too!!
 
I went a bit retro with my card.....
 
 
I love this Kenny K image, which I have coloured with my Promarkers. I have gone with a red and grey colour combo with some retro themed papers.
 
If you get the chance pop by the My Time to Craft challenge blog to see all the fab DT cards that have been created this week!
 
I'd also like to enter this card in the following challenges:
 
Papertake Weekly - anything goes
 
Thanks for popping by today,

Show us your insides!!


Hee, hee! Not the insides of your body...that would be gross.....no the fab My Time to Craft DT wants to see the inside of your cards this week!

So what are you waiting for....get crafty and make the insides of your cards just as pretty as the outsides!

Here is what I created.....

 
I love this red and green colour combo - I think it looks fresh and fun!
 
I've used plain papers in both red and green for the layered background...which I then topped with the cute cherry backing paper. I've then added a white panel with my printed sentiment. Finally I made my cherries from more red and green paper.
 
This card was made for Joe's Mum's Birthday....and I was feeling a bit retro that day I think!!
 
Do you want to see the outside too??
 
Here you go....

 
Told you I was feeling a bit retro!
 
I've used my fab 50s housewife image which I got free with a craft magazine for this card. I've added some faux stitching around the image and sentiment before layering more of that fab red, green and cherry backing paper in the background.
 
I'm pleased to report that Annette really like this card.
