I then spent a few days trying not to blurt out the secret, but it's all official now so at last I can tell!
My email was from Anice of Funky Hand inviting me to join her wonderful design team. Now, I've seen the work of those girlies and it's fantastic so I did have a bit of a gulp, wondering if I could do anything half as good as you can already see on there.
However, you never know unless you give it a try, do you, so I've grabbed this chance to play with the fab papers Anice designs and fingers are firmly crossed I can deliver!
Thank you for inviting me, Anice, and thanks too to the other members of the team for making me so welcome.
Lately Sunday has been my "C-word card making day" but yesterday I only managed a grand total of two - pathetic, eh? But, I was trying to come up with cards using some of the Funky Hand papers, and I did cut lots of little bits out ready to make up some more, so eventually that number should look better!
So here are my first two cards for the Funky Hand Gang, made with designs from the "Tis the Season" download, which I love.
I made the tree template in PSP then cut them on Mr Robo, first in card then I cut them again in some of the FH papers. One of the special things about printable papers is that you can resize the designs - of you look at the trees on the first card, you'll see that the spotty design in the middle tree is much smaller than spots on the other two trees. It's the same design, I just resized it to get some contrast, I was really pleased with how well it worked.
I got a bit carried away inking the hanging sentiment on the second card so I think I might change it for a rather less murky-looking one!
That's it for now, I must try and make inroads on the "to do" list today, it's starting to get out of hand - again! Obviously I need to go and get me a coffee firt though. lol
Hope everyone had a great weekend
Thanks for visiting

Two lovely cards Kathy. I can understand you being a little apprehensive, but after all Anice approached you, so she must've already liked what you do :)
Know what you mean about being marooned - I'm a scouser in exile in West Yorkshire LOL My dream is to live by the sea when the grandkids are a bit older. Whereabouts in Herts are you? - it's just that I lived in St Albans for 3 years - a lifetime ago :-/

Congratulations. I love your 'funky' cards and I don't think that the sentiment is too murky. It fits very well with the other elements of the card. Petra.
