Colour Challenge @ Crafty Calendar challenge!


Hi, Hope your having a lovely day! we have had the most beautful weather here the past few days. Tonight is  so hot and stuffy..yuk!
What a few days its been. Has anyone been experiencing problems with Blogger? I have been having a nightmare of a time with the CCC Admin Blog. It has a virus and i cant get rid of it. Whenever we go to view the blog it redirects us to some strange "high risk" website. I was told they use that virus to track you IP address etc...i am not clued up on computers etc so i think its going to be better to close that one and start over. What a pain but nothing couldnt be done to stop this, not even by blogger. 

Anyway, because of all the issues i had this is me just getting my Crafty Calendar Challenge                                                                                                                                              card posted.
