Natalie & Amy's 'Celebrate' Challenge

Good morning all. Well I know I haven't been around for over a week but there should have been a scheduled post on Saturday for My Time To Craft but it just doesn't want to post! I may have to copy and paste it all into a new post and see if that will resolve it. 

I have had a lovely few days away in Lowestoft, Suffolk with my mum visiting my daughter, son in law, aunt and uncle. We stayed at my aunt and uncle's holiday home, some of you may remember I lived there for a couple of months last year after my house was sold but I hadn't found anywhere to move to here in Lincolnshire. It was lovely having the beautiful weather and being able to spend time with my family whilst we relaxed around the swimming pool, I'm sure my daughter appreciated being able to cool off in the pool as she is getting quite big now especially considering how poorly she was at the beginning last week and during the beginning of her pregnancy. It was so hot in hospital, the air conditioning wasn't working and there just didn't seem to be any air at all. The only downside to our trip was that we should have taken my grandson Harley with us to been entertained by my aunt and uncle whilst we were with my daughter but he was ill with a really bad high temperature so had to stay home with mum and dad. I told him we will go again around September time once the children are back at school and hope we still have some nice weather.

Anyhow enough of my adventure's lol, it is time for a new challenge over at Natalie & Amy's Challenge and this month it is time to 'Celebrate' as this is our 12th challenge. As it was a year ago that the challenge blog first started Natalie and Amy are very generously giving away 2 surprise prizes this month woo hoo.

As soon as I saw this challenge I knew which image to use and that is Saturated Canary 'Ellie's Birthday', I think this is a great image for birthday's. I teamed it with some First Edition 'Summer Breeze' papers and Papermania Kraft Card, I then used a few die cuts cut on my Silhouette Cameo, some Marianne D's Jute Twine and finally added some Ranger Liquid Pearl dots in Opal White scattered around.
