Good Morning...

... well after the beautiful weather its a bit chilly and damp today :-(.  Hope the sun decideds to put its hat back on - as its Hubbys 50th we are having a sneeky night away at Malham Cove, setting off in the morning to do some walking  (without the kids!! - as they dont do walking its boring and whats the point of it - huh??) - anyhoo, Nannna is taking care of them tomorrow night for us.  Hubby didnt want any fuss to him its just another day - oh well at least he'll have a bit of a treat :-).

He's even said we may have time to pop into Skipton - even though I'm playing down the fact I like mooching in shops (and he knows I do) - 'No its your birthday - we'll do what you want - dont worry about me' cough!!  We have been there once before and its a lovely place to wander around and walk by the canal.

Anyhoo, enough of my waffling - here's the card I made for him, now I'm hoping this has worked as there has been loads of hoo haa about watermarking - and being the technophobe that I am I hadnt a clue so had never watermarked any of my images - but the lovely Janine created my watermark and then advised me of the free download for craft artist and that lets you put the watermark on - so here goes, lets see if it works:
 
Okay, yes I have a watermark but I also have a big gap at the bottom hmmmm - more tweaking required lol - so apologies for that.  Oops forgot to add - the papers were free with a magazine ages ago - matted onto kraft card.  The image is a Di's digi coloured with pro-markers and glossy accents added to the glass of wine.  The tag has been distressed and the 5-0 die cut and applied.

I would like to enter this into:

Di's digi challenge - make it masculine

Thanks for looking.
