Funky Fairys Challenge #18 - Baby Theme...

Good Morning...
Wednesday already which means time for a new challenge over at the Funky Fairy's Challenge Blog.
Huge thanks to all who joined us last week, I love visiting you and seeing your creations.
***********************
The theme for this week is.....Baby's
Remember to be in with a chance of winning all you have to do is use at least one Funky Fairy item on your creation...how easy is that??!!
If you haven't tried Funky Fairy's downloads then what are you waiting for, pop over to the Inspirational Blog to try before you buy. I can guarantee you won't be disappointed.
*******************************
Here is a tiny sample of the papers available to download FREE!!




The papers and images print off perfectly and the colour range is amazing.
I have stopped buying plain backing paper and card - I now just print off my own using such sets as the 'It's so distressing' and save a fortune.
**************************
I have used papers from three sets on my card:-
Its just so distressing
Gorjuss Gingham's

Yipee....

Just a little update...deal done on our car and we will shortly be the owners of a very sensible diesel BMW. I think my OH is either going thru a mid-life crisis or has banged his head!! Lol
Also I would like to say a huge thanks for all your lovely comments, they are so much appreciated as always. I am having a busy time at the moment but will get round to visit you all very soon.
Hope everybody has a lovely bank holiday weekend and its a dry one.

Sketch Saturday & One Stop Craft Challenges...

Well its Friday and the weekend is here but I can't get too excited as I am working both tomorrow and Sunday. There is a big street party/fair going on in the town where we have our sandwich shop so we will be open.
Its been another mad and hectic week so not much time for crafting, upset too as I lost my gorgeous Dower & Hall bracelet :-(
But on a better note we have a guy coming to view our car tomorrow, decided to be sensible and go for something more economical. Time to say goodbye to the boy/girl racer days!!!! Lol
The guy owned it before the garage who we bought it off and desperately wants it back so fingers crossed.



***********************************
Anyway onto my card which covers two challenges:-
1 - Sketch Saturday
2 - One Stop Craft / Pink & Brown


The image is 'Arthur' from Digi Stamp Boutique and all papers are from Funky Fairy Papercrafts.
