Not quite 50 shades .........

Happy Friday,

And what a glorious week it's been.  I'm blogging in the garden again, sat in the sun with a glass of something chilled (orange juice of course!)  I've had a busy old week, so I don't feel guilty at all.

I've even made time to enter one of my favourite Blog challenges.  It's been a while, but I couldn't resist this weeks challenge over at Less is More

It's the first week of the month, so it's a colour challenge.  We need to use .......

Now, we don't have to use Fifty, just a minimum of two will do, with lots of white (or grey) space.

This little die, new from Penny Black, popped through the letter box a few days ago, along with the new JOFY stamps which is where the words came from, and I thought the two went nicely together.  The birds have been cut in two different shades of grey cardstock, trust me.  It's difficult to see in the photo - that'll teach me to take pictures in the sun.

You can see it a little better here.
The words were stamped in Smokey Grey Versafine ink, so that's another shade I suppose. See, I said we didn't have to use fifty ......... I've managed 3!


Speaking of shades, I needed mine last night........... the things I do!!!
There's more than 50 shades in this lot.......... a spot of ironing that needed doing last night

Hubby's wardrobe for today at work.

I tell you, there's always something going on where Stephen works.  Today, not only have they got free ice cream all day (there's a van parked in the car park), but it's been Loud Shirt Day. 
I believe it's something being run by one of the islands radio stations - 3FM, to raise money for DASH (The Drugs Advisory Service Helpline).  Poker Stars, along with other businesses on the island are all joining in.

Now my other half does like a loud shirt now and then (these are just a few from his collection).  And, as he couldn't make his mind up which one to wear, he took all four with him - I've just spoken to him and he's wearing shirt number 4 (more washing and ironing!)  It's paid off though, I've just had an email with the names of the winners and he's top of the list - Go Stephen!!!  Not sure what the prize is yet, but a night in a fancy hotel was mentioned ......... nice!

Now I haven't been sat in the garden doing nothing all day, I have posted on the Creative Studios DT Blog, if you fancy a read - more quick and easy cards using Sam Poole's new Shabby Chic stamps. However it is getting rather warm now, and it's time to refill my glass.

Thanks for popping by. Have a lovely weekend, let's hope this sun keeps shining.

Cheers!

See you all again soon
