I'M OFF!!

Morning all!!

Well today is the day I fly to see mum, so this will be my final challenge for the week!!
Very excited to see mum, but that means no crafting for a whole week so I will be itching to go into my craft room next Sunday, how sad am I lol!!

This little creation is going into the two challenges ~


And they both have the same theme ~ Strawberries and cream!!
I also was going to put the card into Totally Papercrafts which had a fab sketch, but I was late putting it in as I was soooo unorganised this week, but hay ho never mind!!

STAMPING FOR THE WEEKEND CHALLENGE # 41 - SKETCH + BLUE/YELLOW COMBO!!

Evening all!!

Well, that was my last  day at work for a week and boy I need  this week off!!, been soooo busy with meetings blah, blah, blah, that I am mentally exhausted and need to recharge my batteries. I am looking forward to spending some time with my son George, knowing that this will probably be the last time he will come on holiday with me on his own, but then again that's wishful thinking lol!!!

Thats enough of me being soppy, back to tonights challenge and it is going into the Stamping for the weekend challenge # 41 which is a great sketch with blue/yellow combo.

ANOTHER CARD, ANOTHER CHALLENGE!!

Evening all!!

Well, didn't we do well today!, I am not talking about the weather but the footie lol!!. I was at work all day working my little butt off, and guess what??, all the men including some of the doctors, I hasten to say, was watching the football. Every so often ( I was scrubbed at the operating table!! ) kept coming in letting us know the score and some of them I thought was going to have a heart attack ( at least they were in the right place lol!!). Well done England, about time!! :o).
