One for the Boys...





Happy Saturday everyone!
 Today I would like to share a card I made a few weeks ago for a charity event I took part in to raise money for a village in Africa. It was a Church Fete where you paid for your table and the money goes straight to the charity and the proceeds of your sales are yours to keep, so everyone's a winner   I had a very successful day and this was one of the cards I made for my stall.
I used LOTV image and tags, various star dies, Oval Nesties,Marianne corner dies and a Memory box die called Big Splash Border.

I haven't entered any challenges for ages so I decided to have a look around and found a few that fit my card.
So I would like to enter  these challenges.

Silver Wedding Card and Box....



Good Morning ! I hope you all had a lovely Easter weekend. Mine was really nice.... out and about shopping with Hubby for Holiday stuff on Saturday at Livingston McArthur Glen and we had the Family over for dinner yesterday. 
Today I finished off a 25th Anniversary card  that one my friends asked me to make for her. I hope she likes it. As the card was so elaborate I decided to keep the box very simple.

Off out and about again for a few hours with Hubby while the sun is shining...lol.. it's still very very cold but at least it's dry and the dreaded white stuff seems to have made an exit...at last.

Enjoy the rest of your long weekend.
