Simon Says Challenge and Spoon Full of Sugar Challenge

Hi everyone - I hope you have had a lovely weekend.

We had a very much "rugby" weekend. We had our amateur game on the Saturday - my husband did not play but my son did.

On Sunday we travelled to Warrington to watch the Grand Final. We watched two games. The first one was Keighley Cougars against Oldham. I used to be a very staunch supporter of Keighley but have fallen by the wayside although my son, Richard, still goes. They were playing in a final for promotion and won by 2 points. At the end some of the fans ran on the pitch and Richard ran on but fell over the barrier (how embarassing!!!) and then it showed him on the tele congratulating some of the players.
The second match was our local team, Halifax, playing for the Championship against Barrow, and they lost. We had actually gone on one of the Halifax coaches so there was a lot of disappointed people. Years and years ago when my husband was in his twenties he had trials with Halifax but his eyesight let him down on the 3rd game and they did not sign him. Barrow offered him a game and he played one game for them but it was too far to travel so stuck to amateur rugby after that.

Back to card making. I made this card for the Whiff of Joy challenge and then realised that I had used a Magnolia Stamp - it must be my age!! I have decided now that I can enter it in the
Simon Says Challenge, which is to use Red and Green, and also in the Spoonful of Sugar
Challenge for which the theme is Christmas.

thank you for looking
