It's a kind of magic

Hello blogworld

Well how we all doing then?  Looking at a lovely Monday morning I hope and to make it even lovelier we have a new challenge over at The Cutie Pies.  The theme this fortnight is 'Magical' - so any magic related projects please.  I think you'll find that us Cuties went with magicians and fairies but there are so many magical things out there that I think this could be a great fortnight!

We are sponsored by:

And onto my magical card - it's for SHMbO's best friend who will be six this week but so far hasn't met with the stamp of approval.  In fact, she told me she could do better!  Ho hum, this is life as a female persons' mother is it?  Being told that you aren't good enough?  Is it any better with boys I have to wonder.

I actually quite liked this one - can I hear a good deal of blogworld falling over in surprise there?  Yes, I did just say I liked a card I made, well apart from the teddy, it seems to sink into the book from what I can see, should've done him a different colour.

Now that I've got you completely dying to see what my sub-standard card looks like - I will reveal (the card, not me - now that would give you nightmares!!).

Oh My Word - now whose are these?  No idea, they've been around that long!

Anything else?

Bit of ribbon and some Stickles (that smudged, begger it!)

So you'll have to let me know what the verdict is - are you Team SHMbO or Team Sarah then???
