HAVE FUN WITH YOUR EXTRA HOUR!

Good morning everyone

Isn't it wonderful when you forget you have an extra hour and are "up and about" before you realise you have one!!! It took me a while to realise why my bedroom clock said one time and my computer another .. .. .. obviously still half asleep!!! LOL!!!

I wonder how many of us are planning to use that extra hour for a bit of extra crafting?

Today my card is for two challenges where both of the themes are "Halloween" .

Firstly, Penny Black and secondly Funky Hand.

Unfortunately I do not have any Penny Black stamps that would help with this challenge so I have had to improvise using an image that my DIL very kindly donated to me and I just made a pumpkin balloon to finish it off.

For the October Funky Hand challenge you just need to use one of their papers somewhere on your creation. Well worth entering as you win a voucher for £20 to spend in the on-line shop. I won this challenge last month and was spoilt for choice. (If you don't have any Funky Hand papers then there are some you can download from here for free).

Anyway, here is my creation

This used:

Image: Penny Black 1745K "Like it or Not!!!"
Backing Paper: Funky Hand "Salt & Pepper" download
Ribbon: From my lovely lady on the market (she has some delicious ribbons)
Sentiments: Computer generated
ProMarker pens and chalks for colouring
Inkssentials Glossy Accents

I hope everyone has a lovely Sunday and that you get to do what you like doing best with your extra hour.

Thank you for calling by.

Love Jules xx

    Hi Jules, hope youve now readjusted to the extra hour, we always change the clocks the night before and go to bed at the new time so hopefully we get it sorted then and there and not in the morning. Anyway I love your cross looking cat, not sure why hes giving me that impression, but hes lovely. With love and hugs Shirleyxxxxxxx
