I hope you had a good weekend. On Saturday we had friends round for coffee in the garden that then turned into lunch. It was so good to have a long catch up. Then on Sunday we had a longer walk than usual. We got as far as our local farm museum. You can't go into the farm yet but there are places where you can see in. Well they have been working really hard during lock down and the farm looks amazing it has all been spruced up. We are going to have to have a visit when it opens.
Today the new challenge has started at the A Bit More Time to Craft Challenge blog. The theme is Anything Goes and there are fabulous digi papers on offer as prizes.
This is the birthday card that I made for my uncle. He lives in Suffolk with my cousin and her family. Last year we went up for his 85th birthday party. This year we had to make do with a phone call. The papers I used for my card are from the Mix Digi Paper Collection.
Our challenges are always fun and the papers really are worth winning, Click on the logo and you will be taken to the challenge blog.
I have a CD with images by Pollyanna Pickering. I chose this Kingfisher image to use for my uncle.
I know my uncle liked this card he told me so on the phone.
I would like to enter the following challenges.
Have a good week.
Take care.

I am still waiting to see my niece, but my sister and her hubby live about a couple of hours away so they can't just pop round, we our trying organise something for the end of the month, and hope the weather stays dry.

Beautiful card and a lovely card topper with kingfishers. They are stunning birds. I love the panelling on your card. It's been very difficult not to share birthdays with your loved ones over this lockdown, hasn't it. Hopefully you will be able to get together soon. Take care Michelle x
