OSAAT DT - CHALLENGE NO 240 - ANYTHING GOES WITH RED, WHITE AND BLUE!


Good afternoon bloggers out there - first of all I am so pleased to be able to have posted this card for the OSAAT challenge this fortnight because we are having awful trouble with our system at the moment.  Last week I logged in to read my emails and there wasn't a single new one - now that is sooooo odd because SPAM can be relied on (duh!!!) to fill up their particular folder with total rubbish!  The maestro telephoned 'The Company' to try and sort it out but even they were flummoxed .... so I am sorry if you have tried to email me and I haven't replied, it's the bloomin' system and ..... I can't even log in to my emails at all now!

 Anyway at least, for the moment, this is working so I am posting my card for the OSAAT 'Anything Goes with Red, White and Blue' challenge this fortnight.  I loved this one because I didn't have to sit for hours on end deciding what colours to choose - lol!  
 Just a slightly different view - to prove that I have actually sorted the inside too!!!
Note the 'balloons' - well I couldn't find remember whether I had a balloon stamp or die but I noticed this stamp (in the background here) on a set of 'Stamps for Special Occasions'.  In fact it's an Easter egg but I turned it upside down, stamped it in red and blue then did a twiddle on the lower end attached to a long 'string' behind my little clown.    I used a Tattered Lace die called 'Puff Ball' to make the embellishments 'cos it looks just like a firework exploding!  Or is that just me???

 Ingredients

 7" x 7" white card base - Anna Marie Designs

I'm just off to see if I can get into my emails yet ..... I doubt it!!!

 Take care out there and enjoy the rest of your weekend.  I'm sending you all a huge cuddle or a hug if you prefer!!!

 Love
Sue xxx

    Hi sue me wonderful blogging mate.
    oh this is o gorgeous I love everything you have done to create this gem of creation.
    That die sure looks like fireworks to me.
    So apt with the 4th of July coming up next week.
    Is it me or does that image remind you of Andy Pandy.
    Oh those were the days of my childhood.
    I take it you didn't get my email as you are having probs.
    The drop box thingy wouldn't open, and then the blooming email disappeared.
    So if you could resend it I would be very much obliged, that's if your blooming internet prob gets sorted.
    We had probs with our router a while back, and they said there was nothing wrong with it, so hubster bought a router, and of course they don't like to change from their routers, and it wouldn't work even after they gave us the code.
    Luckily since complaining all is working fine, till the next time, as they kept saying nothing was wrong with it, and it is the 2ns blooming one we have had.
    I think they use sub standard ones, and I can tell you we won't be staying with them after our contract is finished.
    Well sorry about the moan, and the war and peace comment.
    Love and biggest hugs from my house to yours.
    Lots of crafty love. Jenny L. P.S anymore door stops. lol.

    Hi Sue
    Fandabidozi! A very cute clown rather than sinister and scary.
    I did get an email, supposedly from you, referring me to some photo website that you need to sign up for. I didn't as I thought it may be dodgy (and I don't like signing up to certain things)
    If it was snaps of you being suggestive with your foot pedi, I'm not interested hahaha!)
