I had a fabulous time at the end of last week feeding two of my favourite hobbies (other than stamping of course!) - photography and dance. On Thursday I started a two day landscape course based in Whitstable, North Kent. Such a picturesque seaside town. On Friday we were based at the White Cliffs of Dover and, of course, it poured with rain but we couldn't complain as we were there the same day that Christine Bleakley was water ski-ing the channel - bbbrrr! Just looking at the water made me shiver!
I was with a group of lovely people, had a fun few days and learned a lot from the tutors and the rest of the group. I took A LOT (!) of pictures but will only bore you with a few :)
Early Saturday morning I left North Kent and drove across London to Olympia for Move It 2010 - a buzzing three day dance exhibition. They ran an amazing selection of classes every day in every dance style possible - I took Ballet, Argentine Tango, Sequence Dance and a double Salsa class, at the end of which my feet were killing me!
In between classes I watched some of the AMAZING showcase dances on the main stage, including Matthew Cutler from Strictly and one of the most beautiful: Sarah Lamb, The Royal Ballet's prima ballerina performing The Dying Swan. Isn't she stunning!
Enough of my babble.... onto a card! Yesterday's Stamp With Us challenge was to make a male card so I immediately reached for the Cheers To You set. Can't go wrong with a few pint glasses for a fella can you?!

Hi Kate,
Not only are you a very talented card maker, but also a very talented photographer! This is the place I come when I’ve had enough of cute cards, filled to the brim with flowers and other embellishments. I love your clean and simplistic style (which I don’t seem to be able to achieve myself:-)). I’ve just been nominated for my very first Blog Award, which I’d now like to pass on to you. Keep up the great work! Sandy x
Stunning photography Kate and I love the tall skinny card for the fellas.
