Evening everyone, hope you are all well. Isn't the weather just glorious. I've been to Eastbourne this week with the girls, and we couldn't have picked a better week - wall to wall sunshine. Its my granddaughters 9th birthday today, its quite difficult making cards for her as she isn't a girly girl, doesn't do pink at all, but she likes playing video games with her brother so I thought this image was quite apt. I've used the sketch at Sunday Sketch and Stamp. Hopefully I will get around to catching up with everyone tomorrow.

Green OR Red (but not both)

Good afternoon all, hope you are all well. I'm looking forward to the weekend as I am going away for a couple of days and the sun is supposed to be shining!!!!The challenge at Jingle Belles is to make a Christmas card using green or red, but not both. So I've made one of each. I thought these cards would be great  to give to a male at christmas as they are quite clean and simple. I've used the sketch from Sketch Saturday again, and borrowed my mum's musical note punch.
