Oh my goodness. . . . . . . . .

I can't believe it has been so long since I have blogged a card!!! We have been so busy and I now feel like a member of a grounds maintenance team!!! Hubby having taken on the fishing rights of a local lake, which also involves the maintenance of it, means that he has less time for other things so the work on the allotment has slipped behind. I have now been trained to use the petrol lawn mower and can dig the veg beds! I have spent the day today making a couple of cards as I have a really painful back, which speaks for itself!!
The first card I'm going to enter into

Crafty Catz which is a colour combo of Black and Red

Crafty Creations another colour combo of Black, White and Red

Create 4 Fun a colour combo of Black, White plus one other, mine is Red.
