Frieda Flapper

Good afternoon peeps.  I hope you are all well and happy.  I had some devastating news yesterday, one of my best friends rang me just turned midday to say she found her husband dead in the garden at 10 am that morning.  I am still in extreme shock.  I was only speaking to him on the phone at 6 pm the night before!!!  Just proves that we shouldn't take life for granted.

On a happier note I have a card to show you today, just because I wanted to make card.

My 6 x 6 Shaped Card (Sorry Photo Heavy)

Hubby took this one.

I took this one with my i Pad, first go Oops!!!!

Second one with my i Pad, a little better.  A lot of learning to do on both using the i Pad and being a photographer.  Lol!!!!

Bella with Sledge

Hi Folks.  Sorry I haven't been around much this week but hubby bought me an i Pad for Christmas and it arrived on Monday.  I have been setting it up and also having a few lessons/phone calls to Apple with questions.  Along with the Christmas organising and learning it has taken my week up.  If I haven't commented on all your cards I promise I will catch at some point.  I have been good on my DT commenting so just need to catch up with friends.  Card today is just because I want to.  Needed to craft to try and unwind a bit.
