What a palaver getting a half decent pic of this one.....what is it about blue.....tried outside...inside and it was way too blue.....they say the camera doesn't lie.....well don't agree because this paper is such a gorgeous soft duck egg blue and even after a bit of playing around with the photo editing thingy....it still looks a bit turquoise.....first we complained about the bright sunshine.....well now it has gone to the other end of the weather spectrum...dark dreary days....never a happy medium....but I think this may be my colour combo for this year's Christmas cards.....do love Red and Blue together.
And before I forget it's time for this week's Sneaky Peek......
and another tasty peek.....the second item going into the blog candy
this super cute little handbag
chocca full of Penny Black Images.....some of the brand new Christmas releases too.
Well ever onward as they say.....need to catch up on some household chores today and do a bit of food shopping....but will catch up with you all tomorrow for another fab challenge from Polkadoodles and let me tell you my DT card almost ended up a total disaster.....but turned out to be a "happy accident".....and oh yes I will be coming clean and sharing the tale of woe......toodle oo for now.

Ohh tell me about Mr Blogger, the sod!!! I have had a nightmare these last few days. I go to leave a comment - it throws me out. Sometimes it throws me out before I get chance to leave a comment. I felt like putting me shoe through the screen at one ponit. Fingers crossed it seems tp be behaving today. Probably won't last though will it :( Biggest hugs my fabulous friend xxxx
ReplyDeleteHi Kath, I have just popped on to say what gorgeous cards you have made for Simply Cards & Papercraft. I knew as soon as I saw them that they were yours before I saw your name. You have such fantastic ideas and you always add little extras which finish the card perfectly.
