Summer Holidays @ OBAG

Hello folks its me again here with a brand new challenge this week at

OLDIE BUT A GOODIE

before I go into that though what a fab challenge we had last time, check out the blog for the winners post. This week the idiots are running the asylum and I'm in charge lol and I chose

Summer Holidays

Well that's pushing it a bit - summer holiday! I'd have been better choosing 'In the Bleak Midwinter'! I mean is the weather not bad enough to depress the whole nation without that pathetic excuse for a football match on Sunday night! And I'm a massive football fan - normally!

Anyway enough said about that! Here's my card for this challenge
This could actually be a picture taken on my recent trip to Yorkshire lol
There's Posh Pam on the end with her Martini - shaken not stirred, next up is Lisa with her hat on as she doesn't like the sun too much, then that would be me with my mouth open as I talk far too much - frequently!  and on the end would have to be Christine concentrating hard on her cocktail lol
Sorry girls I know you have a sense of humour!
It's actually an Art Impression stamp that I bought when I was there to find I already had it when I got home!! Nothing unusual then!  I gave the lovely Sue my duplicate as part of her birthday present.
My papers are Echo Park summer pad and most of the flowers are WOC again, I really love the mixing of the colours al la Rebekah.

We are sponsored this week by

You can find all the details over at the challenge blog page along with some fabulous inspiration and this week Francesca gave us a brand new teammie to play with!
So pop along and say Hello to Helen

Remember you can now use a digital image to join in but something on your card has to be at least 6 months old and you have to tell us what it is in your post

Before I go just to let you all know that Raegan arrived home safe and sound last night from China with mixed emotions! Really tired and happy to be going into her own bed, but sad that her adventure is over! Well at least for now - She's off to Orlando on the 6th of September with her friends from Uni.

Thank you for stopping by today
A big hello to Mandy my new follower  (I'll drop by ASAP)
