Oh I do like to be beside the seaside.....

.....I hope you're all singing along now!

Morning All,

I hope you are well and have had a lovely week! This week's challenge over at Sweet Stampin is "By the Sea/Ocean" - what a fab challenge to get creative with!

I decided to make a personal card this week....creating a seaside gatefold card with some fab Pollycraft images.

Here is the outside....

And here is the inside....

 

Very nice I hear you say...but how is it a personal card?? Well....Joe and I had our first date on the 1st August six years ago, and each year we take the same week off work ....in the beginning we always used to go surfing in Newquay during this week. Unfortunately this year we're not in Newquay, we're at home instead....but I thought I would still have us surfing - even if its only on a card (not that I am saying that those cute characters look anything like Joe or I!!!)

Pop by the Sweet Stampin challenge blog to see how the other members of Team Abi have used the theme on their cards! While you're there you can check out our fab sponsors this week;

You can't stop me today!!

Hellooee.....me again!

Ha, ha....there is no stopping me when I get going is there?? I decided to take full advantage of a day with no plans...I've made loads of lovely cards and I have a batch of yummy peanut butter cupcakes with chocolate frosting! Soooo this is my second post for today!

Whilst trawling through blog land I noticed that My Time to Craft have a DT call on at the moment and so I've decided to apply. Pop by their blog to see more details! Their challenge this fortnight is hats or handbags.....so inspired by my baking I created this cutie....

Isn't she sweet?? Hope the My Time to Craft Ladies like her hat!! Thats exactly what I look like in the kitchen too.....batter mix flying through the air!! I like to think I'm a glamour Nigella type....but really I'm not!!

As summer rolls on ha, ha (I'm currently watching a weather forecast with lots of rain predictions!!) I'm trying to convince Joe that he's like to join me on a surfing trip to Newquay. He loves his cars soooo much that he'd much rather spend all his annual leave and spare cash on them rather than a jaunt to the coast. But I've got my fingers crossed!! While I wait for him to make up his mind I'll just have to create some beach scenes instead....

Not exactly what Joe and I look like on the beach....but at least the right person is carrying the board (surf boards are soooo heavy!!).

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

Allsorts - I do like to be beside the seaside

Fashionista - simply summer

Pop by all the blogs mentioned to see the gorgeous DT cards that have been created.

Finally here is that cake I mentioned earlier....

Thanks for popping by today,
