I only really have weekends to sit down and join in with challenges, I only really look at the challenge themes and not always the rules such as how many challenges I can combine with as my spare time is precious and with so many challenge blogs I just don't have the time to read everything, so if I have broken any rules with the amount of challenges combined etc.., then please accept my apologies and please remove me if need be.  I enter the challenges for my own personal enjoyment not for the prize on offer.

*****

As mentioned in my challenges list the Sparkles Forum has now changed homes and you can find the new forum HERE, please pop along and join for daily friendly chatter, swaps, challenges, tips & advice etc..., it caters for many crafts not just cardmaking.  Hope to see you there!!

Enjoy your Saturday and weekend everyone, and thanks for stopping by.

Hippy Chick

Happy Sunday to you all!!

Enjoyed another trip to the beach at Withernsea yesterday, apart from the thousands (maybe even millions) of little bugs, silly me for wearing a white skirt it was constantly covered in the little black blighters.  On the way back we stopped off and bought Mollie a little paddling pool as she loves water and it cools her right down, I know we have a lake at the end of the garden but we don't let her go in that as goodness knows where she'd end up and it would be too dangerous in the winter when it freezes over.  She is good and keeps out of it apart from when she occassionaly falls in when she decides to go take a drink by walking onto a fallen tree thats in the water...lol.  Anyway she loves her paddling pool, so that should keep her happy in this hot weather.

Right, on to my card for you and yep it's another sneak peek at one of the soon to be released new Cherry Kisses images from Pollycraft (apologies to my buddy Shell, as I know I'm getting her into trouble with her hubby with showing all these new images...lol)...

It's a Summer Thing

Two posts in one day eh?? Must be this hot weather.  Enjoyed an afternoon of crafting, whilst Steve watched the tennis, what with that and the football I couldn't take anymore...lol.  I also thought if I didn't watch the tennis Murray Mint could well win and get to the final, but nope that theory didn't work.  Though it worked for the football as Holland (or Netherlands if you prefer) won, which for my dutch buddies I am really pleased for.  Anyway enough of my waffle for one day on to a card....
