Little rock star...

Just a quick one for today, as I should really be finishing a DT card.  I'd planned to get lots of crafting done yesterday but had a very bizarre day and didn't really feel like doing anything other than colouring when we got back, so that's all I did.  Mum had decided that she wanted to scatter my dad's ashes finally - it's been almost 10 years since he died and she's been putting it off all this time.  For the past few years she's been living with a new man, they're now engaged and will be moving into a new house in a few days.  Mum said she didn't feel right about taking my dad with her to the new house, so yesterday we drove out into the countryside to scatter the ashes in a river... it was lovely and sunny when we set off but the further out of Sheffield we got, the worse the weather got... until it was absolutely pouring down.  Then we couldn't find the river that mum wanted to go to... drove round and round in circles for some time... decided to leave it until another day!  Mum still didn't want to take my dad with her to the new house, so he came home with us and is now in our kitchen, waiting for the next attempt!!!!

And on to my card!  The image is a stamp from Squiggles & Giggles, coloured with promarkers.  Papers are MME, with coredinations cardstock.  The circle was cut with my new Go-Kreate big circle dies (this is why you couldn't find them by googling Linds - it's Kreate, not Create... silly me eh?!), then I 'duffed up' the edges of the circle (a la Faye) meaning to enter the challenge at Sweet Stampin, but then realised when I put it on here that it's 'distressed birthdays' and I haven't put a birthday sentiment on, sigh... Finished off with a bit of raffia stuff and some card candy dots.

I'm entering my card for the following challenges:

• The Corrosive Challenge - one for the guys
• Let's Ink It Up - anything goes + some yellow
• Totally Papercrafts - plain & simple
