Last challenge for 2015 at 613 Avenue Create

Hi all, well Christmas is over but there's still left over food (and pudding!!!) to keep the festivities going a bit longer. Hope you all had an enjoyable time with family and friends. It was boxing day yesterday so town had sales and the suburbs had sales today. I went with one of my daughters and little granddaughter. We managed to buy shoes for her bridesmaids to wear, we both got a dress as we have another wedding to go to the week before Rachel's. It's a beach wedding so something a little more casual but still dressy was the criteria for our search.
Anyway, I had better get on and share the new challenge starting today at 613 Avenue Create before the day runs out. The Theme is Anything Goes with an Optional Twist of using Music notes/ Lyrics or sheet music.
Our sponsors are A Day for Daisies, Oddball Art Stamp Co and Lacy Sunshine Stamps.
Here is my card.........

Recipe:
SU Real Red Cardstock for basecard, mattes, diecut and punched piece
White cardstock from stash

Challenge #89 at Crafting From the Heart

I'm running late today, I've had a bad cold and haven't slept much in the last few days and to top it off we've been having a heat wave. Had to opt out from church on Sunday so no choir singing either but we had a wedding to go to in the middle of the afternoon. and I felt marginally better but took a wet flannel for the trip which took about an hour. Forgot the panadol but got some throat lozenges to suck on. We didn't know anybody there except for our son, dil and the groom, so just sat at our table and didn't mix so hopefully haven't passed on the bug to anyone else. We are having an electrical storm at the moment so it's pretty muggy and it's nearly 11 p.m. not sure if I'll get any sleep tonight either. Just too hot!!!!
So..... better get on and do this post as not supposed to use computers during electrical storms.
Our sponsors for the new challenge at Crafting from the Heart are: Eureka Stamps and A Day for Daisies
