LETS PLAY.....lol...the challenge this week is set by Suzie and she wants us to make a Childs Card...I used one of this weeks sponsers images, and here's what she says about herself..

Ellephantastic is very honoured to sponsor this challenge.
2Hi I am Helen. I suffer with CFS/ME & found a few years ago I could no longer work due to my illness.
To give myself something to do (when feeling well) I decided to go back to my roots....crafting!!
I grew up drawing, knitting & 'Cutting & Sticking'
Now I like to do all kinds of paper crafting, card making, altered art, knitting & sewing.
I also design & draw my own digital art.
My fun hobby has unintentionally grown into a li'l crafty business for me which I am loving.
There is nothing I like better than to put a smile on someone's face because of my crafting :0)
You can order & buy a lot of my work from my shop. You can also now buy some crafting products.

Here's my card....



The Image is one of our sponsors.

Afternoon you lovely lot, hope your all happy it's Friday again, wow do the weeks fly by or what !!!!!...Just a quick post, this is for the challenge over at Craftycatz this week, which is April Showers...good eh... firstly let me say sorry for the angle of this picture,not the best I know, and also, the image and sentiment, well I can't find where I got them from, although I do have a feeling the image is a CDAC one, if you know please say and I will put it right..coloured in with the usual Promarkers, the paper is the last scraps of a huge book I had from MME,and I enjoyed each and every one of them.
Thats it for now, am on a mission to make a card for someone,as per they tell you what they want with very little notice....I could do with a magic wand at times...lol...have a lovely day, thanks for stopping by...hugs Janette.xxxxxxx
