Stand up Straight

Hi all,

Hope you are all having a good weekend, my week here has been a bit up & down. My step grandad passed away at the beginning of the month and Fri (yesterday) was his funeral. It was a lovely service and the weather was nice for us so it all went down well. Apart from the fact that on Thurs night just as we were getting into bed my stepmom called to say something was wrong with my dad and needed us round there as she was with her mom in Birmingham ready for the funeral. Rich went round as kids were in bed and the result was my dad being taken to hospital in an ambulance, so we were up most of the night sorting that out, turns out they think he has a gall bladder infection or gall stones and needs a scan to determine the outcome. So yesterday we were very tired and out of sorts, then to top it all off it is my moms birthday today and we all went out for a meal with her and family last night and I had a real funny turn in the pub and nearly passed out and had to come home early. So today for the second weekend in a row I am not feeling too good, at least this week its not self inflicted lol!!!

Anyway enough of my woe's, today we see the start of a new challenge over on the Little Claire blog and our theme this month is

Stand up Straight

So we would like to see your Easel Cards or cards that stand.

For my card I have used the very cute little girl from the Bright Blue Skies stamp set an made a Twisted Easel.

I have teamed my image with some gorgeous papers from Trimcraft from their First Edition range called Boho Chic, added a bit of cream organza ribbon and some gorgeous WOC flowers.

The prize for this months challenge will be some fabby Little Claire goodies, so why not pop over and join in the fun, also check out my team mates gorgeous creations while your there too.
