Strawberry Girl

Morning All,

Sorry I didn't get round to posting this card yesterday.

I went down to the car dealers to see about upgrading my car

 to a bigger model as my Nana who lives with us and is 93 and now 

needs a wheelchair to get around. So I wanted to get my car but in a bigger version.

So I rang the dealers and he said he had the car I wanted 

I went right down and when I got there the guy I was talking to

 was with someone so after I waited for 45 mins

 he came over and old me he had just sold it 

to the guy before me I couldn't believe it :(:( 

Talk about bad luck lol

Well anyways today's card is featuring 

the gorgeous Strawberry Girl stamp from Mo's Digital Pencil.

2Sisters DT card Challenge #100

Morning All,

Where have the past few days gone I received my new storage tower 

from Viking today but when I opened it 2 out of 3 of the towers

were all broken and cracked I was so annoyed 

and when I rang them up about it I found the girl to be quite rude 

she kept saying to me could I not use them anyway :(:( 

I was like what!!! they are broken and they weren't cheap

 so I finally convinced her to send me out new ones

 and collect the old ones and she said they would ring me back on Monday

 to organize collection but they might not be able to deliver

 the replacement for 10 days !!!

 Oh I was so angry today and then to top it all off 

I remembered that I hadn't made my card for today 

it completely slipped my mind  well anyway rant over 

So since it's Saturday it means that we have a new challenge 

over at the 2Sisters Challenge Blog

 and the theme throughout July is Christmas 

so this week the optional twist is 

WHITE ON WHITE 

(with the exception of your image)

We are being sponsored by the fab DigiDoodleShop this week

 and they have been kind enough to give each of us

 a Digi stamp to work with so the one I received was

 Snow Bunnies it's such a perfect stamp for this challenge.

The only thing is I found it was really hard to photograph :(

I really have to fine my camera charger

I have had to take my pictures on my I-Phone 

but I can't seem to get a good picture

New DT news and challenge

Morning all,

Well today I can finally let you know

 that I am a proud new Design Team member over at 2Sisters Challenges :) 

I was so excited when I was told I got chosen along with some other new girls :)

So for the next 4 weeks we will be doing Christmas in July.

Today I have made a Christmas bookmark using this gorgeous Bauble stamp

Each week there will be an optional  twist along with the challenge 

so this week the twist is to not use red or green 

It was harder then I thought as every paper

 I pulled out from my hidden away Christmas box 

was all red & green and I had almost given up 

when I spotted this Purple and Blue snowflake paper thank God lol 

Sorry that the picture is crap the lighting in my room is awful and this is the best picture I could get but at least you can see the sparkle on the baubles lol.

Week 26 Charisma Cardz Sketch Challenge DT card

Morning All,

Again I'm sorry that I haven't been around much I've finished work for the summer 

and will be starting my new job in a Montessori at the end of August

 so I have to do a few courses over summer

 for that and also go back to part time college

 so i'm trying to sort all that out.

 I am also minding a 6 year old every Wednesday and Thursday 

over the summer from about 8 -5 which means

 I have to schedule my posts for those days :(

So anyway the reason I am writing this post is 

because it's a new challenge over at Charisma Cardz 

and the theme is A Sketch which was chosen by Carissa,

 I have to say I struggled a bit with this challenge

 as I still can't seem to find the energy or mojo for card making at the moment :(

And yes I know it's an awful photo the light 

was either too bright or too dark when I took it 

and this was the best out of them all.

Pop on over to the challenge blog

 to see all the fab prizes up for grabs

and also to see my fab teamies cards :)
