MY LAST CHALLENGE FOR TWO WEEKS!!
Evening all!
Hope you all had a fab day!. It has been soooo cold at work today, so cold I thought my fingers were going to drop off lol. They are changing the boilers at the hospital at the mo, thinking the August weather was going to keep us all warm ( That's a mega joke, do they realise this is the UK, NOT THE MED lol), so you can imagine the operating theatres are like a fridges at the mo, but the patients are all toastie under warming blankets and the poor staff have to wrap themselves up with theatre gowns :o(
Hopefully they are going to fix all the problems by the end of the month, so by the time I go back to work it will be all lovely and warm for the autumn, but at least all the patients are lovely and warm now :o)
That's enough about the good old NHS, tonight's card is going into the fab challenge over at Friday Sketchers and I have used a gorgeous image from the very talented Heather Ellis.Heather is fabulous illustrator and she is also having a fab sale at the mo with some of her gorgeous Pure Innocence range, so go and check it out and grab a bargain or two!!

GOLDEN OLDIE!!
Morning all!!
Gosh this is very early for me!, got lots to do today before I go away to Spain on Friday has I haven't been able to get out :os.
Have to go to town ( hope the back is gonna hold out ouch! ), to buy school shoes for Bexx and other bits and pieces and to have lunch with my little sis Toni. My darling son has decided he is not coming with us now because of the girlfriend grrrrr, so not very happy with him at the mo :o(. Would you leave a hormonal teenager at home for 2 weeks??, I must be bonkers but I have given him the riot act lol!
Well to todays card, this male card is a commission card for my mum and I followed the fab sketch/challenge from Truly Scrumptious. The added element was to use one of my older stamps. So I have dragged out poor Murray out of retirement lol!!

WHERE HAS THE SUN GONE ??!!!!
Afternoon all!!
Hope you are all well!, update on my back - It's a lot better but still taking it easy so a big thank you to everyone who have left me lovely comments :o)
Well, as the title says " Where has the sun gone??!!", we have got a big storm here at the mo with plenty of rain and feeling quite chilly. I'm sitting here very nervously with my daughter because I'm a big girls blouse when it comes to storms and hopefully it will pass soon :os !! .
That's enough of the awful weather report, my little card is going into three challenges today and it's all about colour!!. This image is another Digi stamp I got from Digistamp boutique and I think she fab for a teenage girl. The papers are a bit bright and not what I usually use, but hay ho it's nice to have a bit of a change :o).
The following challenges :-
A spoon full of sugar # 116 ~ Sketch
Polly Craft Monday # 56 ~ Photo Inspiration
Totally Papercrafts # 29 ~ Rainbow
