New Funky Hand download

Hi all,

I know it's been pretty quiet here - I've been crafting but not much posting.  It's quieter than normal as I've lost my voice - the family think it's amazing - such comfort and support from them. My voice is either squeaky or it comes in whispers so trying hard to rest it - easier said than done.........

I've also been really lucky lately, I won a recent Allsorts challenge, Nutcrafters challenge, Partytime Tuesdays and some candy from Natalie & Amy. Can't believe it.

There's a couple of new download releases out at Funky Hand which are fantastic.I've given the link to the main blog so you can see what's on offer and all the links. Here's a card I made over the weekend with the download below:

I used the papers above, go kreate die, digi sentiment from a previous Funky Hand download, snowflake die, tree embossing folder and gems.

Challenges:
Simply create too challenge-22-anything-goes.
Penny's challenge-94-shaped-cards
The crafty pad challenge-189-inspired-by-song - 'O Christmas Tree'
shelly's images blog - terrifically thrilling Thursday-shaped card.

Have a nice night.

I already had some shoes.It was a beautiful day. It was so touching to see 2 of our learner's marrying at last.The night do was fab too with great music and friends and a couple of cheeky gin and tonics. I was dancing in my chair having a whale of a time.... Here's the card I made them from myself and my tutor friend Linda who is a gem.
