Lots of photos, sorry, and I've had such a faff trying to get them to upload! I've ended up having to switch to the old editor but it's added the photos all mixed up (with my least favourite at the top!) and it won't let me add my text before the photos... and the cursor seems to have disappeared... agh!
Anyway... I decided to combine my entry for CAS-ual Fridays, where their theme is 'colour blocking', with the sketch at Clean & Simple, and also use up some of my scraps for Jules' Sunday Snippet Challenge. I may have got a little carried away as I seem to have made quite a few cards! Although really I should be using up patterned paper scraps as I've got loads of them, so maybe I'll make another batch later in the week.
I won't go into too much detail as I don't want to bore you silly, but I've used my new Stampin Up embossing folder on all of them. All made entirely from scraps apart from the card bases. Stamps are mostly a mix of Penny Black and Kanban.
The school rang me to collect a poorly Morgan this morning, so I've ended up with him at home. He says his head hurts and he feels sick. So I've not got as much done today as I would've liked!
Right, let's see if I can get this to post now...

FABULOUS cards,I love the embossing....I thought it was textured cardstock!!! I had to upload my photos through the old editor too,the first photo you add should go to the bottom,the next on top of that and so on.After saving I then switched back to the new editor for typing.You can also move things around by cutting and pasting in the HTML section.I hope this helps.

I've had real problems with blogger today too, grrrrr it's so annoying isn't it!!
