Crafty Calendar July Challenge

 




Time for our July challenge at Crafty Calendar and we are sponsored this month by the fabulous Polkadoodles and this sweet image is from the range of digital images from Horace and Boo. There are some fabulous digital stamps in the store and on a Tuesday they always have discounted prices!

Well we've chosen our new doors and drawer fronts and worktops and we've also bought a new built in oven and new flooring...so our lovely joiner will be working on it soon and what's even better he got it all at trade prices!!! so 'the hubster's' wallet can breathe again LOL

My wonderful hubby surprised me with the new Sizzix Switch machine..no clue about it till there was a knock at the door I was flabbergasted..in fact my flabber had never been so gasted!!! It's wonderful and so quiet. We are going out today for a meal with family because it's our daughter's birthday on 4th July but she will be working and so will lots of family that are coming so we are looking forward to that. Hubby's breathing is tons better and I can't believe how he is getting about we took Ollie for a stroll along the beach and then went for fish and chips the other day they were yummy lol .. Take care everyone and have a lovely weekend lots of huggles xxxxxxxx Sue xxxxxxxxx

What an adorable card Sue! I love all the paper colors you used and your digi is so stinking cute! Glad you and hubby got all your doors, drawer fronts, worktop, oven and flooring all picked out. Even better that you got them all at trade prices! Everything will look amazing I'm sure. Oh sweet of hubby to get you the Sizzix Switch! I treated myself to a pink one and I just love it! It is quiet isn't it?! What a wonderful surprise! And I do love that it was a surprise! I'm so glad that hubby is breathing and getting around so much better, that has to be a relief! I am glad hubby is getting out and enjoying walks with you and Ollie. Your fish and chips sound so yummy!!! I know you both enjoyed your family time as well, it's always wonderful to have that time and a meal with family. Happy Birthday to your daughter! Hugs, Brenda
