Aarrrggghhh my lap top has broken, I've tried everything to revive it but it's no good. Everyone I've asked seems to think it's the motherboard. I'm just glad that I have Internet access through my phone. I've got the blogger app on my iPhone so I can at least post my dt cards on here. I can't link to other blogs using it so no challenges for a while.
This month on bling it on it's Mocca's turn to choose the challenge and she's done us a fab sketch. Here's my take on it. I've used one of our sponcers images it's the fab Meljen designs.
It's my birthday in 3 weeks so if I drop enough hints I might just get a new one.
Thanks for stopping by and keep your fingers crossed for me.
