I've got spots!!!

Good morning all

Hope its a good (or getting better!) where you are.  I'm so sorry I've been a bit absent this week.  We've had such a busy, and stressful week again with my MIL and FIL and ongoing health issues, we're really just hoping that things will get better soon and I certainly hope to be able to be a better blogger!

Anyhooos!! on with today which hopefully will be a good one, my BIL is on duty for his parents today  so we're out to lunch on a "steak and chips meal for two" that we got from living social deals - so at least I'm out, getting fed and just having time to sit and relax which doesn't seem to have been happening much lately -its been booked twice and cancelled with various "happenings"  - so third time lucky!!!  Then I'm going to hav myself some well deserved  crafty time this afternoon and open my box of crafty goodies that I ordered and have sat unopened for a whole week because I just haven't had time to do anything with them (this includes my new brother machine!!) - so hope I finally get the time today.

Now onto these spots lol -well I haven't got them personally - but my card has.  

This week's theme at 

Fab'n'Funky Challenges

 set by our lovely Wendy is

Spots or stripes or even both! 

A nice easy one - I'm sure everyone can find a spot or too (on a card!!)

So here's my spots!!

Using the sweet Alannah and Snowball

 from Stampart Design by Kathryne at Whimsy Stamps available HERE 

I thought I would give my favourite round easel card an outing.  I haven't been able to cut them successfully since my Grand Calibur broke last year as I didn't have a mat big enough to use on my Big Shot with the grand nestie dies - but I had a bit of a mess about cutting up some embossing mats I have and eventually managed it - I still think I need a new GC-think that's in the post soon!!

We have two wonderful sponsors this week
