The Card Grotto, Michelle is celebrating 40,000 hits wow! She is giving away blog candy in celebration, check it out!
Her whole blog is stunning and cards are amazing, with wonderful stamping effects, I am off to explore further!

Camera has gone walkabouts....

I can't find my camera!?!?! I expect its at the bottom of a bag somewhere, one of the several bags I have used this week, never mind I shall find it I am sure. I have a handful of cards I wanted to post that I made last week!!
Honestly, I would lose my head if it wasn't screwed on!

Challenge no7 and STAMPAMAJIG!!

It arrived!!!! And I don't have a chance to have a go today :( But I will as soon as I can.
Also Kristina has posted her challenge for this week which I may not be able to this week, but you might!! Gorgeous colours again.

Visitors!

I have my Dad and Celia visiting this week, hence the quietness, but we (Celia and I) have been dabbling with a few cards. I have a lovely set of new See D's Dot to Dot Alphabet that she kindly bought me and the Bee themed set so we've been playing with those and I have been showing her how to heat emboss etc. I have made a couple of cards which I shall pop on later in the week when I get a chance. Celia also bought me a selection of card making items which will come in hugely handy and which the kids have been eyeing up!!
Got a hugely busy day tomorrow so off to bed now!!
Oh and BTW it was Steve and My wedding anniversary today and once again we are spending it apart because of 1ACC!! This is a mobile radar unit in the RAF, who Steve doesn't even work with anymore :/ Anyway, he is in Lincolnshire tonight instead of being here in Gibraltar with me.
Its been 13 years this year! Love you Steve and am missing you today especially, tho I miss you everyday x

Colour Inspiration No6

Ok, managed to find 20 mins for a study break this evening to whip up a card. Its not great but it has the required colours! I decided to go slightly different from everyone else and do quilling.

Hope you like it. Sorry the pic is a little dark!!

All OU'd out phew (wiping brow) & Colour Inspiration no6

Well I finished the ECA (end of course assignment) for S182 - Studying Mammals at about 1am last night and popped it in the post this morning, I hope it gets there in time, fingers crossed all! I just have 2 other assignments left to do this week - arghhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Tonight I am taking the Brownies and Rainbows bowling, should be a right laugh! I am absolutely HOPELESS, so I may just have to supervise!!

I think when I get back this evening I will have a go at Kristina's colour inspiration challenge #6 just for therapeutic purposes you understand... lol.
Here is this weeks colours, beautiful eh?

They are from this picture:



I love the cushions! As usual I have no stampin' up products as I am in Gib but I will have a look and see what I have and improvise! Watch this space tonight or tomorrow to see what (if anything, haha) I manage to come up with!
Wish me luck bowling - I will try REALLY hard not to drop a ball on my foot this time or a Brownie.......

Tagged

OK Alison tagged me! 7 Random facts about me required....erm......
Ok, here goes
1. I love 50's and 60's music (Earth Angel, Blue Moon etc). Hence, LOVE Hairspray the musical! Can't stand soppy jazzy rubbish. But... "Don't fear the Reaper" by the Blue Oyster Cult is one of my favs, as is Aerosmiths "Don't want to miss a thing" and Bette Midlers "Wind beneath my wings". Quite possibly up near the very top is John Denver and "Annie's Song" (Turn up your speakers when you read this blog!)
2. I LOVE cardmaking! I want to try scrapbooking soon.....I have been crafty for many, many years tho, its not a recent thing.
3. Monstrously HUGE Sci Fi fan (Just HOW GOOD is the latest Battlestar Galactica???) love anything like Heroes, Firefly (quite possibly the best), Supernatural, Farscape, Torchwood, Doctor Who, Sarah Connor Chronicles, oh the list goes on...
4. Tickling me makes angry, don't find it funny AT ALL!!!!
5. I am addicted to Pepsi Max and I love Lindts Excellence Dark Coffee Intense Chocolate mmm........
6. I had a blog started about 18 months ago but have been hopeless in keeping it up, so have started all fresh like!!
7. Can't stand people who think they are great and everyone loves them, talking loudly to get attention, cutting conversations short if its not about them, blowing things out of proportion so its a huge deal to get even more attention, this type of person "Owns" a friend and gets all jealous if that friend talks to anyone else, oh I could go on.....

Anyway!!
Do you know I was worried I would find 7! Once I got going I thought of loads and squished them into the 7!!

I tag my sisters from SBS17, who want to only, no pressure, let me know if you do it so I can come see! I also tag any of the Gib crowd who've had a peek at the blog and not mentioned it!! (I know you've been here - especially a member or two from the craft club - wasn't it lovely this week?)
I you haven't got a blog but want to have a go at 7 random facts, leave them in my comment box!
Take care all x
