Technology!! Aaarrrgghh!!

Hello folks, hope you're well today.

Well you might be wondering what I'm doing posting on a Thursday morning...shouldn't I be at my desk in New Malden slaving away?? Well, I'm actually off work now until next Wednesday - woo hoo!! Joe is part of the British Drifting Championships (where they slide cars around a track sideways) and this weekend is Round 2. I'm going to support Joe, I really hope he does well as if he makes it into the finals of his class he'll be featured on TV! How exciting!

Anyway, I have a couple of cards for you today....I've really struggled to get these onto Blogger as my phone (which takes the photos) and my laptop don't seem to be talking at the moment!! Not sure what the problem is, but its taken me ages!! I also have to apologise for the quality of the photos...my phone is really being annoying today!!

Told you it was a dodgy photo! I've used a pink and brown colour combo for this little cutie....I'm not entirely sure about the stamped sentiment, I think I should have stamped it in brown rather than black.

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

Papertake Weekly - Sketch

Lili's Little Fairies - anything goes

And here is my second card...

Even more dodgy sorry!!

I've gone for fresh blues and yellows for this sea inspired card, along with a couple of cute fishes to bring Birthday wishes!!

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp - anything goes

DYSU - under the sea

Pop by all the blogs mentioned to see the gorgeous DT cards!

Right, I better get going....I've got to get packing. Did I mention that I am camping for the next couple of days....at the track!! Not sure what I've let myself in for here!

Thanks for popping by today,

Best Fishes!

Evening All,

I hope you're all having a fab week! I just spent the last 24 hours with Becca in Brighton....we had a fab time despite the weather today! We wandered around the lanes and I bought another 60s dress....we paddled in the sea (well I did...Becca's convinced a shark will eat her if she gets in the sea) and we had a fantastic night out.

This is the view from our hotel window....first shot is Wednesday afternoon, second shot is Thursday morning...can you spot the difference??

So, another week has flown by....I can't believe I've only got one day left of my week off!! The good news is that we have a new sketch to play with at Sweet Sketch Wednesday! Arlana has created a lovely sketch this week....

I've tried a different colour scheme again today and I have to say that I love this blue and organge combo - its bright and fresh and makes me smile! My little fishes have been coloured with my Promarkers and I've added a little sparkle with my stickles. I'm also entering this in the "hugs and kisses" challenge this week over at Passion for Promarkers. I hope the lovely Promarkers ladies will be ok with my image...its the closest thing to a hug or a kiss that I have in my image collection!

Pop over to both blogs to see some fab DT cards!

Now I mentioned above that we had a fab night out last night, well thats because we were in a bar listening to some live music...which was cool enough on its own, but then all these people started dancing and someone asked if I'd like to give it a go.....so I did...and I'm glad I did because it was soooo much fun!

Thanks for popping by today!

White on White with some tails!

Evening All, hope you're all keeping well and had a lovely weekend.

Anyway, I have a little card for you this evening...yes, I seem to be obsessed with my mini 4x4 cards at the moment!

I've created this mini card for the "White on white" challenge over at Allsorts this week...they want to see white backgrounds with a coloured image. I decided to add a little faux stitching to the background and a mini doily (I can't spell that!!) for extra detail. The cute little fish are for the "something with tails" challenge over at Cupcake Craft Challenge this week...aren't they fab? This is a fab Pink Petticoat stamp that I got free with a craft magazine recently! I've added some sparkle to the fish and the hearts using my stickles.

Pop over to both blogs to see all the gorgeous DT cards there - they're fab!

I also wanted to share my recently bakes with you...I helped Becca and Jim celebrate their Birthdays this weekend (it was a very busy weekend!) and decided to practice my cake making on them!

Here is Becca's cow cake...

I messed up the icing on the cake and had to raid my craft stash for ribbon to hide it!!

And here is Jim's I-Pod cake...

I was really pleased with this one...I finally managed to get the icing right!

Right, I'm off to bed...I'm exhausted and its only Monday!!

Thanks for popping by today,
