I've been tagged!!!

Ive been tagged 5 times this week by Elaine, Lynsey, Carly, Leanne and Sharon. The rules are to go to the folder on your computer where you keep your pics, and pick the 6th folder then the 6th pic in that folder. Well here it is, my two Grandsons at Halloween last year. Daniel (3) is holding the pumkin that his Uncle Matt made for them. He was pointing out to me that it didn't have a nose..... so to keep him happy I had to carve a nose in it..lol. Christopher was too busy enjoying CBeebies. We had a great time after that dooking for apples and getting soaked.....later on Daniel dressed up as a pumkin an Christopher was a Pirate.

I have to pass this on to six people but as it's really late I'll do it tomorrow. Take care.

UPDATE-----I'm passing this on to, Diane,Debbie, Maria, Susan, Gina and Jane

ENGAGEMENT....and BIRTHDAY GUY

Hello again, a couple of cards I did for orders yesterday.
The engagement card...BP is from an album I bought ages ago and the paper was inside.The embossed paper is from the Works, and the lilac paper from papermania. I used a Fiskars border punch, and the image I was very kindly given by my friend Carly in a swap. I love it so much...I coloured it with my Copics.I added a piece of printed Vellum and the flower and ribbons are from my stash.
The Guy card.
This card was made with a gift bag...yep good old gift bag. I bought it a few weeks ago 'cause I loved the bold silver and black stripes and knew it would be good for male cards. The image is Cuddly Buddly Techie Teens and I added fibres and brads to finish. The sentiment on both cards is done on my computer.Hope you like them and thanks for popping in.
