Boats and dancing

Happy Monday people! I hope everyone had a lovely weekend and a belated Happy Mother's Day to all you mummies for yesterday!

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?!

Congrats!

Today's Stamp With Us challenge is to make a Congratulations card - what a good excuse to use the fun Cheers to You set!

Here's my take on the challenge:


Pretty straight forward really, image coloured with Copics and I used two ribbons - the Rose Red double stitched grosgrain ribbon is so wide!

Be sure to visit the Stamp With Us blog to see what the rest of the Design Team came up with and, of course, to enter!!

I hope you have a great Sunday, thanks for stopping by!
