My cousin in Australia got married so I popped over for the wedding, it was just such a happy beautiful occasion, she looked absolutely gorgeous and I am so glad that I got to witness it. I will share some pictures with you soon.<br /><br />Before I left it was my turn to set the <a href="http://www.dewdropcraftz.co.uk/blog/">Blog Challenge at DewDrop Craftz</a> but unfortunately time wasn't on my side due to packing so I wasn't able to share the challenge on my blog. The challenge that I set was 'Anything but a card' and this was my take on it:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Bw6GQADoXvs/Sf8TOMDMiwI/AAAAAAAAGXk/GCVcmKyzwMk/s1600-h/DDCBC0329-03-09.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Bw6GQADoXvs/Sf8TOMDMiwI/AAAAAAAAGXk/GCVcmKyzwMk/s400/DDCBC0329-03-09.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332001618303683330" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Bw6GQADoXvs/Sf8TOvZTX6I/AAAAAAAAGXs/9N5lGzxVbYw/s1600-h/DDCBC03129-03-09.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Bw6GQADoXvs/Sf8TOvZTX6I/AAAAAAAAGXs/9N5lGzxVbYw/s400/DDCBC03129-03-09.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332001627791646626" /></a><br /><br />Unfortunately I was away for the next challenge which was <a href="http://www.dewdropcraftz.co.uk/blog/read_3338/its-a-mans-world-.html">'It's a mans world...'</a> but head on over to the blog and take a look at my Team Members samples and the entries.<br /><br />The latest challenge was set by Adele and is a <a href="http://www.dewdropcraftz.co.uk/blog/read_3591/winner-and-new-blog-challenge.html">colour challenge using the colours of Blue and Green... </a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Bw6GQADoXvs/Sf8VKUUKsuI/AAAAAAAAGX0/BJlB7JZa9fY/s1600-h/DDCBC04-26:04:09.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 393px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Bw6GQADoXvs/Sf8VKUUKsuI/AAAAAAAAGX0/BJlB7JZa9fY/s400/DDCBC04-26:04:09.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332003750826128098" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Bw6GQADoXvs/Sf8VKp05TII/AAAAAAAAGX8/oswi9FFMKQg/s1600-h/DDCBC0401-26:04:09.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Bw6GQADoXvs/Sf8VKp05TII/AAAAAAAAGX8/oswi9FFMKQg/s400/DDCBC0401-26:04:09.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5332003756600544386" /></a><br /><br />Nikki has just released some gorgeous new stamps designed by <a href="http://grab-a-doodle-do.blogspot.com/">Sally - Ann Hancock from Grab-A-Doodle-Do!</a> I was sent the cupcake stamp just before I went on my hol's so I was itching to use it by the time I got back. Although this is a simple card to make it is really effective. I will back with some more cards soon.<br />I hope everyone in the UK is having a great bank holiday weekend, I have spent mine doing the gardening and housework....!!!Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02077462411240833562noreply@blogger.com3
