Anything But Square...

Morning!

 

Hope everyone had a fabby weekend?  We had fantastic weather here, I even put sun cream on it was that hot!!  Not that we went anywhere, just chilled at home whilst the kids spent the weekend in the paddling pool (or swimming pool as they call it lol!).  Sometimes you just need weekends of nothingness don't you, bliss!

 

Onto my card and today I'm coming at you from Cupcake  :o)  This weeks (fortnight!) challenge is...

 

Anything But Square

 

...and if you check out my uber talented teamies creations you'll see a selection of projects in all shapes and sizes, a feast for your eyes!  For me, well, I wasn't that creative I'm afraid!  5x7 it is then!!...

Let's Get Sentimental

Morning All,

 

Coming at you from Cupcake today and we have another fabulous challenge for you this week...

 

Let's Get Sentimental

 

Now this is a theme that would terrify me normally, but I have to say I totally loved it!!  So if you're like me and feel a card isn't a card without getting the copics (or markers of your choice!) out, then don't be fooled - it's fun to try something different  :o))

This week we're sponsored by not one, but two fabby sponsors - Crafts U Love and Flat Friends so give sentiments a go and I'll see you over at Cupcake!

 

Much love,

I thought I'd make a start on Fathers Day cards (as I have 4 to make!) so this one is for my Step Father-In-Law.  He restores classic cars so LOTV Toot! Toot! was a perfect image to use!
