Creative Card Crew Challenge # !05 DT Card

Good morning peeps. I hope you are all well. I expect you were expecting us back two weeks ago over on CREATIVE CARD CREW . We apologise for that but Mari our lovely boss and a family member had health problems. We are hoping that we should have a plain sailing for the rest of this crafting year and wish both Mari and her family improved health for the rest of this year. I am not sure how many of the DT will be taking part this time as it was a last minute thing that the Challenge was running this fortnight. I for one am not using the sponsor's image as there wasn't time to get one.

Our theme is very easy :- ANYTHING GOES

Our Sponsor this fortnight is:-

ROBYN'S FETISH

5th Page of My Favourite Artist Book

Hi Peeps. I have just done the 5th page of my book. I think if I ever do another one I will make it a larger book as the cover is only an A6 size but the pages inside are a lot smaller. I am not use to doing my work that small and I am not happy that I can't put all the lovely embellies on that I like to use. Today's artist is MORGAN from MORGAN's ART WORLD.

Thank You

Thank you to all my lovely blogging pals from all corners of the world for my lovely Birthday cards and presents that I was lucky enough to receive today.

It has been a very quiet one this year as my hubby is still very poorly. I did go down to the lounge this morning at my apartment block for the usual Monday morning coffee at hubby's insistence. I didn't like leaving him but had my mobile on in case he needed me.
