Hello blogworld,
June that is! And I'd like it back please - along with my summer! I just cannot believe that it's now July and we still have no sun, it's been raining on and off for (it seems like) months I'd like it to stop now, please!!
I think I'm finally up to date with commenting, if I've missed anyone I'm very sorry and if you want to leave me a comment I'll pop over and say hello. I must also say hello to my two new followers - hope you like what you see and stop awhile.
OK, so now onto the reason for this post it's a new challenge over at Divas by Design and this time we'd like to see your 'Red, White and Blue' please! It's appropriate for our friends across the pond as I believe it might be an important holiday over there today ;-)
It could also have been an important day here too - if the doctors hadn't decided that I needed a c-section, due to complications with my pregnancy, it was supposed to be Emily's due date today (albeit 5 years ago)!
We've two fantastic sponsors this week and they are:
and:
Anyway, waffle, waffle, waffle - I'll stop now and show you the card. The Design Team were very kindly allowed to choose a digi from Kenny K and this is what I chose and then created.

Fabbie red white and blue creation hon...... and when I read your post, I thought somehow you were expecting another baby that should have been due today, but that you'd had a C section a few days ago!!
