Royal Wedding Card Challenge.

I've never done a challenges and only enter competitions on the rare occasion, but this docrafts challenge tickled my fancy http://www.docrafts.com/article/RightRoyalWedding-CardMakingChallenge/AID592!
I’m not going to post the card I’ve made until the big day,  but if you’d like a sneaky peak .............. http://www.docrafts.com/project/Something-A-Little-Bit-Different-Using-Mini-Gingerbread-People/p3303663 but be warned, it's very silly!

Home Sweet Home Card

This card measures s12.5cm x 12.5cm and is made using linen effect card.

I went a bit mad with the doodling on this card!  I wanted a homely patchwork feel, but I am not too sure about the choice of colours, the Stampin’ Up pens I used were a bit darker than I first thought they were when I started colouring.  You’ll also notice that the colouring is not of Promarker standard, but perhaps it adds to the not too perfect rustic/shabby charm.

Object Humungous of Desire ……

I was on the Island of Capri this time last week!!!!!!! ….. It was truly stunning …..  and while I was waiting for a mini bus to take us round the island I saw this poster and just had to take a picture of it.

Have you ever seen such a BEAUTIFUL watch? Oh my life, desire isn’t a strong enough word, this is sheer unbridled LUST of a material type nature! …….. I have since done a little research  ….

It’s called the Capri Mulitijoy Watch and cost 190 euros,  about £166.72 ….. now how many cards would I have to make and sell to have this on my pudgy little wrist and can anyone translate the Italian website for me when I have saved enough?
I was in Capri on a school trip studying Classical Civilisations, so it was all work and no play …..
