Happy Bird-day

Morning folks....wow what a weekend it's been weatherwise.......Friday  was unbelieveable....I was travelling home on the dual carriageway.....suddenly it was as though someone had turned the light off....it went really dark and we had the most horrendous torrential rain...within minutes both lanes were like a river....visibility was practially nil and would you believe...yes you probably would....all these idiots are still travelling at high speeds in the outside lane.....and they wonder why there are accidents....it was frightening and was I glad to see home......then Saturday was glorious....so I wonder what today has in store for us.
And yes I have been having a little play with my Hero Arts goodies......and decided to enter this one for this week's challenge over at the Hero Arts Club blog which is......
MONOCHROMATIC....
and the deadline is today.....so skidding in at the last minute as usual and then I remembered they are 7 hours behind us.....so no worries and hey wouldn't it be great if I could find an extra 7 hours every day.....

 
  
 
Cardstock.....Bazzill
Papers: Jilly Bean Soup...Cream of Mushroom 100% Recycled

I have taken a bit of a shine to this kraft paper look and love this range of papers from Jilly Bean Soup.....bought on my first trip to my fabby local craft shop.....Simply Create and would you believe I am having another visit some time next week......I am meeting up with one of my lovely bloggy buds who will be on holiday in the area and I wonder if you can guess who it might be......well that's it for today folks....back with another challenge card tomorrow....before I don my painter and decorator hat once more.
Hugs Kath xxxxxx
