Ha Ha Said The Clown

Well hello again, doesn't time fly when you're having fun....it's what I've been doing for the new Doodle Challenge #38 over at

I popped up to TK Maxx the other night when I finished work and they just happened to have some paper packs on sale.  They had some 12 x 12 but as I only make mainly smaller cards I felt the patterns were too large on these, so I opted for two My Minds Eye Pads in 6 x 6 for the sum of £2.99 each.  So it would have been rude not to use one for this card!

We have some great sponsors again for this challenge - clicking on the images will take you to the sponsors shops - the prizes they are offering are listed under each image.  

Details of the image I've used can be found underneath my card.  

I had the pleasure of being drawn as the random winner of a £50 Tattered Lace voucher when I entered my tiger card over at Allsorts Blog for their 6th Birthday challenge - so although we're not offering £50 the prizes are well worth winning just for 5 minutes entering a card! - C'mon give it a go!

Pink To Make The Boys Wink!

Hi everyone, how are we today? Sun out where you are - it is here. Bit of a mixed emotion kind of day today - I've been looking after some stray puddy tats from work (the mother and four kittens). Found a home for a couple of kittens but still had the others, I was unable to keep them as I have a cat of my own who just wouldn't take to sharing her home with them! Anyway, have had Hull Animal Welfare on today and they have found spaces for them to see if they can rehome them.....so I'm happy that they are going to be sorted out....but boy I'm going to miss them!

Anyway enough waffle, got a new card for you today. It's for the new challenge over at
