A card for a few challenges!

Hi everyone, hope you have had a good week so far.  Not long now until the long bank holiday weekend *yay*.  My children are off school for half term next week, so the house will be even more of a tip than it normally is lol! 

I have a new card to share with you tonight, that uses the sketch from the Friday sketchers challenge.  I made it for a friend in work. 

I love this image from Pollycraft.  Paula designed it for Emma who is raising money for the Yorkshire air ambulance service charity after sadly losing her dad last year.  You can still support Emma and buy this image over at pollycraft. 

I can also enter this card into the following challenges:

OSAAT challenge – furry friends

Incy wincy designs challenge – button up

The shabby tea room challenge – tea party or polka dots (I’ve obviously gone dotty!)

A spoonfull of sugar challenge – celebrations

Little red wagon challenge – birthday

Charisma cardz challenge – going round in circles (buttons, nesties and dots on paper)

Digi doodle challenge – anything goes

I love digi challenge – for my dad

Pixie dust studio challenge – going round and round

Sew many cards challenge – anything goes

Crafty Ann’s challenge – lots of colour

DU2DS challenge – one for the boys

Stamp something challenge – 2 of something (2 different papers)

We are still having really nice weather here is South Wales, although the temperature has dropped considerably (although 17 degrees is still ok for me).  It is getting quite chilly in the evenings now.  Hope the weather can stay nice for a little longer :)  Whatever you’re doing over the weekend I hope you have a good one.  Thanks for stopping by.

Card ingredients: Pollycraft – Ronnie relaxing

Papers: DCWV from the stack, plain card from the papermill shop, SU white card
