Can't believe it day...


I clicked on my computer this morning and as the BBC home page came up on the screen I saw the devasting news that Michael Jackson is dead. So sad - such an enormous amount of talent being lost at such a young age.
On a lighter note (must change subject or keyboard will get wet) I can't believe it that instead of having a cup of coffee first thing this morning I jumped (that may be exaggerating slightly) out of bed and made this very quick card for the Penny Black challenge which is embossing this week.
How crazy is that? I do wonder if my two girls are right when they sometimes shake their head and mumble 'You're mad!'
Anyway it was a very quick card to do - Cuttlebug embossing folder, Penny Black stamps, glitter card and gems. No time at all to make which is perhaps as well as I was desperate for coffee!
All the stamps used are from the Penny Black 'T for Transparent' set which you can get for free (oooooooooh one of my favourite words) if you enter and are successful in my Summertime blog candy.
Not many entries yet ...
So it could be you!!!
Click on the link on my side bar to be taken to the posting and please tell your friends. There are so many children at Post Pals who would love a card arriving in the post.

On your Wedding Day...

I love acetate cards, but oh boy are they hard to take pictures of? The image on this card is from the 'Dancing with Shadows' CD by Joanna Sheen and has been printed on acetate and then attached to glitter card using brads.

It doesn't really show up well on a photo, but the effect of glitter card under a silhouette image is almost magical. I love it especially this special haze effect glitter card by Kanban - it gives a sort of sparkly sky background.

My card is for the following challenges:
Thank you for looking and please do take a look at my blog candy - booo hoo - so far only one entry and three prizes! Oh my goodness!!!

Thank you so much to great friends who have become followers of my blog. Love having you around.
