Lots a Glitz


Hello my dear blogging friends.

 I do have a card for you today ..... keeping up with my New Years Resolution, Lol.

 BUT ..... before I share that with you I have a two photos to show ya.

 The 1st one is of the Shard, the tallest building in Western Europe. It's a 95-storey skyscraper & opens to the public  on 1st Feb 2013. It cost £25.00 a ticket & I am seriously thinking about it. My hubby will not be able to cope with it, but I am trying to convince my work colleagues (who are my good friends), to come along.
I had to go to Guys Hospital on Tuesday last week to have growth quaterized on my chest. All went well & thankfully I did not feel a thing, lol.

 I must say that this photo does not have the same effect as being there!

The next one is of my Grandson Eddy giving his Grandad a cuddle & falling asleep. He is suffering badly with his teething, so wish I could take that pain away!!!


Now on to my card:
This is showing the front & part of the inside

    A great card, Sally. I love your photo of the shard, but I don't think I would cope either - I don't like heights! Good to hear your hospital appointment went well.

    Hi Sally, I am not sure if I could even cope with that height. Hubby certainly wouldn't. A very sweet picture of your hubby and grandson. Hope he gets over his teething pain soon.

    Your card is awesome sweetie. Fab layout and colouring.

    Hugs

    Hi Sally, ooooh one seriously stunning card! Such a sweet image and a fabuloous colour scheme.

    Great pictures as well - although I'm in Lincs now I'm originally from London, then Essex and we came back to show the little one London last year, my goodness it had changed so much!! So many new buildings, I quite lost my way around!!! Would love to go up in the Shard, but hubby wouldn't have it, he cannot do heights at all - had to stand in the middle of the pod on the Eye and not look up or down just stared out into the mid-distance!!!

    Cute pic of your grandson as well, hope his teething pains calm down soon.

    Sarah
