We are now on challenge 624 over at Allsorts and the theme for this week is ANYTHING GOES
But before I continue I have to tell you that next week is Allsorts 12th Birthday.
Lots of prizes to be won. there will be a main prize and eleven more, one for each year so please share the photo to help us spread the word.
We will also be introducing two new DT's next Saturday but we would like one more, so if you think that person might be you please simply put DT against your name in Linky. There is nothing more you need do and please don't mail us as that will not influence our decision. Providing there is an e.mail address on your blog or profile I promise I will let you know one way or the other.
Note: We are a weekly challenge and some weeks can be very busy. As a DT you will be expected to create something for each weeks challenge, comment on entries of the numbers allotted to you and write a challenge and winners post approximately every ten weeks.
Our Sponsor this week is WOWVOW.
For my card I have used an old Kay Carly stamp.
I have used gems from my collection which I have added to the centre of the flowers and on the stems. Backing paper is from Craftwork Cards, a subtle turquoise dots.
Why is it that when you get some wonderful news, you cry, boy did I cry Thursday night, I read my Grandsons school report and exam results (what would have been GCSE mock exams) All 8's which was A*'s and one 7 which would have been an A. The teachers comments were fabulous too. Not like, mine, talks too much, can't concentrate enough. He has immediately been given a place at Trinity House college with an £800 pounds a month wage, never known a college give a wage before.
On the downside it could take up to ten years for him to be a Captain and I am certain that I will not be around then to see it. Well he wanted to follow in his fathers footsteps and it looks like he has the opportunity. He will be spending his time on the Andromeda with his Dad who is the Captain of this private yacht after finishing school. this month so he can have a taste of the life and to see if he can handle it.
Thanks for popping by and any comments you are kind enough to leave.
