Simon Says … Anything Goes


Hello folks, it is time for another brand new challenge so I hope you can join us this week on Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog. Our theme this week is ANYTHING GOES!!!!
The design team are all using products by Lawn Fawn and Unity Stamps this week ….

09-11.11

Another card that is very different for me – no cute little characters but it is good to try something else. I was thinking that I could have masked a little character next to this and that would have been nice so I might do that another time. Can I just say how fab these stamps are – they are already mounted onto ezimount and the stamp sheet is die cut so you just pop your stamp out and you are good to go – genius!!!

Music Saves My Soul Saturday - remembering Freddie


Good morning to a very windy morning in the UK ...... it is the weekend again already and I am off ALL weekend woop woop. I am travelling to see my son perform this evening and I am really looking forward to it. He is also performing a solo so it will be another proud momma moment!



I wasn't sure what song to share today so delved deep inside my brain and came up with this little gem -  hope you enjoy .....






...... have added these videos to remind us all of the genius that was Freddie Mercury ..... we all miss you 20 years on, RIP Freddie 


















Apologies for not visiting the last couple of weeks - I am going to do it right now - I have just been so busy with work ..... no excuse really but time seems to be so limited at home at the moment.



To play along just share the logo somewhere on your blog, post your video (read HERE how to do this) and then add your post link to blue froggy below .... easy!!!!

REMEMBER - YOU CAN JOIN IN ANY DAY OF THE WEEK - NOT JUST SATURDAY :o)

Have a great week folks xxx
