Catching Up...(be warned it's a long post)



Wow! That was a busy week, starting last Friday with us having our 3 grandchildren to stay until Tuesday (son & DIL were at a wedding but came back to ours to stay on Sunday night too) & then work has been ridiculously busy & short staffed, with 2 people on holiday & one person off sick (& that is nearly half our team). So I am trying to have a catch-up with everything this weekend.  Starting with Sentimental Sundays challenge which this week is "Child's Play" (with a sentiment) & I used this cute coloured image from TPS called "Happy Times", the papers are digi (I have a new printer at last) & I finished the card with string, die cut banner, greeting & staples.  We are sponsored this week by Sweet & Sassy & I hope you can find time to join us :o)

Ooooh & I must say that I have my PC back!  Hooray! My clever son Craig fixed it & everything is just as it was before it went bang :o)  

The challenges:
One Stop - Anything Goes
City Crafter - Summertime
2 Sisters - Anything Goes
Challenges 4 Everyone - Anything Goes
Crafty Calender - Anything Goes
2 Creative Chicks - Anything Goes For Kids
A Little Bit Crafty - Summer Sun

As we had a busy weekend/week I didn't have time to post my last week's Sentimental Sundays DT card which was for the Anything With Wings challenge & sponsored by ADFD & I used their "Frosty Snowflake Fairy":


This week I also made the very hard decision to leave Di's Digi Challenge DT.  I've worked with Di for years, even before she started the challenge blog & thought I'd post a couple of my favourite cards made with her gorgeous images:



& if you're looking for more challenges Di's challenge that started yesterday is "Stitch it Up".  Well if you got this far, I'm impressed & thanks for looking! Enjoy the rest of the weekend & have a fab week xxx
