I heard it on the radio

Good morning blogworld,

Ain't it wonderful how an ickle bit of sunshine perks up the old mind and body?  Been lovely, tho still a bit chilly here, yesterday and today looks no different!  According to the weather man we are set for a fine few days and weekend.

Not that I'll see much of it on Sunday - I'm off to the local Sincerely Yours papercraft show!  Give us a whoop then!!  Bit of a begger that they've moved slightly further away from me, but still what's an extra 30 mins when there's papercraft at the end of it!!!

Right and now I've got that jollity out of the system - onto business.

Today sees a new challenge over at MAWTT and this week our lovely boss lady Hazel's theme is 'I heard it on the radio' so - songs please: anything catchy is just what we are looking for.

There's a great prize on offer and this is my offering, based on ' In the summertime - Mungo Jerry' here's the link if you don't know it.  And yes it was out before I was born (only just!!!) but I don't care - I remember my parents listening to it and I don't object to listening to stuff from before I was born - it's some of the stuff in the charts now that I don't get!!!  Ooooh listen to me - I'm getting boring and middle aged - oh my word, noooo I'm becoming my parents. Run away and hide Sarah, quickly ;-)

 It's a bit busier than my latest crop of card - but, somehow, I quite like it:

I used:

Stamp:

The Greeting Farm - Miss Anya; Rain Snow Shine

coloured with my Copics

Papers:

BoBunny - C'est La Vie

Wot no dies??!!

Anything else?

We Are Memory Keepers - chipboard embellies

bit of ribbon from me stuff

And that's it folks - apart from saying I'm looking forward to this challenge.  I loooove cheesy, happy songs so I'm really looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with!

See you soon,

Sarah

Spring has sprung

Good morning blogworld,

So what exciting bit of news can I impart today, then?  Well pretty much nothing really - apart from I should. hopefully (as I'm scheduling this), currently be at the swimming pool with SHMbO and g'dad - not that g'dad is going swimming you understand you don't do that at 89 or so I'm told!

The pool was chosen for today's trip out as SHMbO has recently moved up into Stage 3 ASA swimming and wants to go to the pool and show off her moves.  Of course whether g'dad will even be able to see her what with him sitting up in the spectators gallery and us in the pool is debatable - but still she wants to go and so off we trot.

Anyway the real reason I'm here is to show my very Clean and Simple card for the new challenge over at Papertake Weekly for which the theme this week is 'Spring has sprung' - so Spring colours required please.  As always there is a fabulous prize on offer and the DT inspiration projects are wonderful.

So here is mine:

Front shot:

Her close up:

Right folks, I will let you know how the swimming went when next I'm here.

Cheerio

Snowing again!

Hi blogworld

Gotta be quick want to get in at Totally Gorjuss, but guess what it's snowing and it's been snowing since before 3pm this evening!!

I did want to tell you all about Emily being off school as she has conjunctivitis, her chopping a chunk out of her hair and leggings, about me getting rather irate and hubby having to come in and soothe us all down - but I ain't got time!  So will leave that for another day, tomorrow probably.

But am joining in with Lisa again at Wishcraft and her Waste not Wednesday (one day I may well post this on the Wednesday!).

So double quick time card:

I used:

The Greeting Farm - Miss Anya (Dressy Collection), coloured with my Promarkers and Flexmarkers.
Patterned paper: My Mind's Eye, Bloom & Grow.
Cheery Lynn die: Fancy Flourish.
Ribbon from my stuff.
Card blank and sentiment from Craftwork cards.

Hope everyone is keeping safe and warm and will be back later to chat properly!

Cheerio
Sarah
