Wags n Whiskers Challenge #108...Summer Fun

Hello me lovelies

I am still alive...just i might add with this weather, the heat really doesn't agree with me what so ever...gives me headaches and makes me feel tired, oh and grumpy too but that's not the reason i haven't been around!! 
My reason for not being around is that i haven't had any internet but thankfully it came back on today and hopefully it will behave itself and keep working because it has made me behind with everything so i am going to be busy busy busy!!

On Friday was the start of a new challenge over at Wags n Whiskers Stamps and the chosen theme is...

Summer Fun

Prize...

One lucky participant will win a free Wags n Whiskers Rubber stamp!!

You don't have to use a Wags n Whiskers image but if you do, you will be entered into a 2nd drawing for a free Wags n Whiskers Digi...

On my card i have used a gorgeous digi of a girl writing or drawing with her best friend but as the digi doesn't have a background i could make it feel all summery by adding grass and giving the image a bit of a glow so it looks like she is outside in the Summer sun.

Apologies...

Hello me lovelies

*fingers crossed* this posts!!

I am really sorry i have been having a few problems with blogging, it happened last week for a few times, then it was ok but has started again...one minute i can add pictures, then next i can't and then my posts wont post, keeps saying error and the next they will post, then when it comes to commenting which is also hit and miss...it just seems it one thing after another just lately :(

Also before i go i just want to say to the person who sent me an email accusing me of lying about my Canvas not being my first attempt...i am sorry to disappoint you but i am not lying and never would because lying is my biggest pet hate, i am not going to name and shame you but you should be ashamed of yourself for the things you said to me but to be honest even thou you was quite rude to me in your email i am going to take it as a compliment because you obviously think my canvas is good to think it's not my first time so thank you!!!

Right rant over...

Anyhoo i just thought id let you know me lovelies about my blogging problems and i will be back as soon as it starts to behave itself again...i really do hope this works!!

hugs and xxx
