Debby's Challenge for Your Favourite Five General Cards

Morning peeps. The lovely DEBBY is having her usual generous Challenge to load your Favourite Five General Cards. Debby has already run a Challenge started on Christmas Eve for your Favourite Christmas Cards.

Here's mine Debby - Sorry there is seven but you did say that we had some leeway. Lol!!!

Made this set for a Lady in our apartment blocks 90th Birthday. This image is from FITZTOWN

Made this one just because I wanted too. Keeping in my stock at the moment. This flower stamp is from CHLOES CREATIVE CARDS

First candle and card set was so well received so I made this set for another lady in my apartment blocks 75th birthday. This is yet to be given but it is in the next few days. This image is also from FITZTOWN .

Love this image from AURORA WINGS

Sent this creation to my Step Daughter and her Husband who live in France. These Stamps are from
LILI OF THE VALLEY of course.

Love this image. It reminds me of the time hubby and I got roped into a Karaoke session when we first moved into our retirement apartment block. I think this will have to be hubby's Valentine's card in February . Lol!!! This super image is from JUST INKLINED

Another great image from FITZTOWN. I was going to send this to my Step Daughter for her birthday until I remembered I had gone and put a sentiment on it about friends and not Daughter. Lol!!

Hope you have fun playing in DEBBY'S Challenge.

Noreen's New Year Card

Afternoon peeps. Hope you are all well and ready for the man in the red suit.

I have made a New Year card today. Yesterday I was embarrassed as the lady on the checkout till at my local supermarket gave me a Christmas Card and I hadn't made her one. I haven't been going to her till that long but we always have a laugh. I use to go to another lady but her husband is seriously ill with Leukaemia and a lot of the time I go she is off taking him for therapy or he is just too ill to leave. The lady that gave me the lovely card is not on during the day next week when I will be doing my last minute bits, she says they have put her on nights. The only thing to do was to make her a New Year's card and put her on my Christmas list for next year.

I will be entering this for:- OUTLAWZ CHALLENGES - TWISTED THURSDAY - ANYTHING GOES - OPTIONAL TWIST FIRST DAY OF WINTER

I Haven't Got Comment Verification Added to My Blog

I haven't got Comment Verification added to my blog. This is something that Google seems to be doing to many people. I have discovered that if you type your comment and publish as usual and ignore the text verification box it should post. I have found this out only by doing this on other peoples blogs. This works of course only if they haven't really got it added. Lol!!!
