Well i'm back - yipee, my internet problems were in fact that i have been cruising round the Med for 2 weeks and P&O wanted to charge me a ridiculous amount to log on, so sorry and i missed you all so much.
We went to Barcelona, Monaco, Rome and Valencia - which were all fabby, Cadiz and Gibralter i could take or leave and we didn't get off the ship in Florence, as we went there last year. The cruise was good, but the childrens facilities on board (besides the kids club, which is holding it together), left a little to be desired even though the 'Ventura' is supposed to be a family friendly ship !!!!
Todays card is so out of my comfort zone and something i have not tried before, but i thought i would give it a whirl and i like what i have come up with, but it is my second attempt and i've used smooth card, where normally i would use Papermill Linen card, as i thought it would a better effect. I've also used a much neglected stamp that i have had for about 18 months, i bought it as i had used it to make a card at The Glitter Pot and i've never used it since.
