Happy Birthday from Lofty...

Here's another card I didn't get chance to show a little while back - one that I'm not sure about anyway but hey it's bright and breezy just like Lofty himself!

Lofty image is by Joanna Sheen and paper is by ??

My card fits the challenge at...

• Cupcake Craft Challenges - 5"x5" birthday card
• Stamp with fun - little presents
• Creative Card Crew - anything goes
• Tanda Teaser - square card
• C.R.A.F.T Challenge - free for all

and now for the BAh HUMBUG bit - which has nothing to do with card making, but it will make me feel better if I have a moan so here goes...
I have spent hours this morning trying to get the Boot's offer of the week and all their website does is crash time after time - grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr not a happy bunny. Even got to the very last page with credit card details in and everything, but no it crashed.  I may never buy from Boots again I am so fed up. So much for Internet shopping being a breeze.

Oh my goodness...

A little while ago all the challenges around were promoting Postpals and I'm sure lots of us sent cards to the children on there, but I wonder how many of us remembered the following month or have sent a Christmas card or gift.

I'm ashamed to say I haven't!!

But I will now!  Please if you have a spare card (in my case I may have to send a New Year greeting cause I'm meeting myself coming back at the moment) visit Postpals and send a card to one of the children.

Hoot stepping out...

Nearly forgot to show this Hoot card originally made for the release of the Hoot range of stamps by Joanna Sheen!  How could I do that? 

He's such a cutie holding his party balloons.  The sentiment and parcel are from the same set of stamps - all very useful stuff.  I think the backing paper with Happy Birthday on is by DCWV and the sentiment on the back panel was computer generated.
My card fits fits the challenges at ...

• Creative Card Crew - anything goes!
• Project Tuesday - a side step card. 
• Stamp with fun - little presents

Still in complete chaos here getting ready for Christmas.  Stayed in all day yesterday waiting for a parcel and when did it arrive - 7.30 this morning!!  Poor postman has gone back to depot to recover from seeing this mad woman with hair stuck on end trying to unlock the door half asleep and shouting 'Just a minute' at the top of her voice.
Well if they are going to deliver at such unreasonable hours what can they expect?

Have a great day everyone and hope all your gemstones stay where they have been stuck unlike mine which seem to be sliding all over the place.  That will teach me to buy cheap silicone glue instead of Pinflair. 

Irene I'm sorry when your card finally arrives you may have to reattach the gems!!
