I've been busy getting packed, checking that all the documentation is in order and whatnot. As we usually go on holiday with a holiday company where everything is done for you, this time it's under our own steam, so I'm having to make sure we have everything just right.
However packing is all done, just the last minute things and I think I've got everything I need, even to woolie hat and gloves, well we are hoping to go on the ocean to spot whales, recon it will be really cold there.
Thank you all so much who visited and left comments on my last card, I love reading them and delighted that you take time out of your busy days to visit.
I was amazed that the artist who drew the poppy image, Jane of http://janeysdigidesigns.blogspot.co.uk/
left a lovely comment and wanted my permission to show the card on her design blog and Facebook. Well I was so chuffed, because if you visit Jane's blog you will see some really beautiful cards, I'm just delighted.
I have another poppy card today;
Coloured with Promarkers
Sentiment from Stamp-It Austrailia, Sentiment Swirls
Card cut with Xcut Scalloped Die
Papermania Blueberry Pie paper
Tumble Glass DI
Gems and Glamour Dust.
And that's it, I hope you like it.
Before I go I want to tell you about a friend who has just had her first book published by Amazon for Kindle, it's title is Cafe Paradise and it sounds a great holiday read, and if you go to her website, http://www.patriciacomb.com/ you will be able to read a synopsis of the story. It's romantic comedy, and I've downloaded mine and looking forward to starting it. It's a bit of a change for me as like crime novels, but it sounds great and it takes place in a city I love York.
I will taking my Tablet with me so hopfully I will be able to keep up with your blogs, and I will see you when I get home.
Crafty Hugs, Kate xx

Hi Kate, congrats on winning with Sue Wilson, she is such a generous person with her prizes and time. Love the Icelandic poppy today, gorgeous in blue. Your colouring is so beautiful, no wonder the artist wants to display your work.
Have a wonderful holiday, hubby says take plenty of money, you will need it. Hey ho what is money for if not for spending. Enjoy.

A beautiful card. Lovely colours.
Well done on winning Sue Wilson comment game.
When hubby and I planned own hols I always photocopied every item of documentation ie insurance, payments, hotel confirmations, flight confirmations etc. One copy in my bag, one in the carry on bag and emailed all to myself so I could print off again if required.
Hi Kate,
another superb Poppy card. I bet she shows this one on facebook too.
Love the round design, and superb colouring in.
I am getting very restless as everyone is off ob their hols or returning.
Can't see me off for a while as my GC has broken down and lovely hubby has just bought me the electric embosser.
Have a wonderful crafty rest of the weekend.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
