OK who stole it then?

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.

Scallops, anyone?

Hello there blogworld

Here I am again, hopefully having finally caught up with all my commenting (am scheduling my post Friday evening fully intending to go visit everyone after doing this) and next week returns to normal in Chez Sarah - so I shouldn't get so far behind again.  For 16 days - then the school breaks up!!!!!!!

Anyhow - the real reason for the post is that it is a new challenge over at Sweet Stampin and this week we would like to see your 'scallops'.  Now I thought that I had plenty of stuff that I could use, but when I came to look I was short on scallops - I could only find one die so that got pressed into service.

We are sponsored this month by Joanna Sheen, with a £10 voucher:

Our weekly sponsor is Crafts and Me (who very kindly gave a choice of two digis to the Design Team to use)

This is my not very scallopey card:

So hopefully sometime this weekend I might even get to share the pictures from Emily's birthday party. Oooooh and I might, just might, be going to the cinema on Monday - going to be a saddo and go on my own at 10.30 in the morning, I wanted to see Snow White and the Huntsman - nobody else does so I'm off on my todd!

Cheerio for now,

Sarah
