Final day of Catch the bug Holidays chaos and freebie

Well i made it got to the final day and just in time.

Today is all about the freebie. So just pop over and grab it and make a project,

So for mine i looked at the image and it reminded me of those little cards the kids give out at Christmas to all their school mate. these little ones are becoming very popular this year.

So i didnt want to lots of layers so decided to print direct to my card.

So I coloured with my promarkers and added some stamped stars and a little sentiment at the bottom. Added loads of glitter to her dress and the star on the tree. Just a few gems to finish of.

Ok so thats me done and i am off to link up before it closes and i might get some shut eye. 

Night all.

Hope you have been joining in today is the last day and sadly dont think i will manage to catch up on all the challenges time has beaten me this year as i spent most of the day back and forth to the garage as my car failed its mot and the parts that it failed should have been picked up on the service 3 weeks ago but wasnt. So I will need to find a new garage to get it serviced as he has now lost my business after 13 years. Sad as I thought he did a good job but looks like he is cutting corners.
