    OMG the Headbanger was well scary - and two in one night!! Sad to see Johnson go but it was time for him to leave. Can't wait for the final - really torn between Team Sam and Team Laura.....but think Team Sam just has the edge!!

    Stunning as always Vicky! I must be the only person in the world who didn't like Dyran Duran; I was more a Spandau Ballet girl (they were the same era weren't they, or is my old memory playing tricks?!) xx

    Hi Vicky this is so adorable, I love the cute image and fab layout. Very yummy papers and love the ribbon/button embellie. Couldn't believe the headbanger either, I wouldn't trust anyone to swing me round with my ankles, well thats if they didn't pull their back out picking me up. lol.
    P.S. ordered the nesties earlier I just couldn't resist.
