Bon Voyage

Good morning all. Well summer has continued here this week, hope it stays a little longer!
Not sure where the lads are at present  - obviously without a phone signal as I haven't had an update since Wednesday. They were last heard of camped out within a few hours of the Russian/Mongolian border. I imagine they got to the border on Thursday at some point and should have arrived in Mongolia on Friday at the latest.
I found out yesterday that Gary's bank account has been used by A.N. Other to the tune of about12/1300 pounds over two days!! Luckily he has a Cash Passport card too so he still has funds. I managed to add credit to his phones from here so he has the means to get in touch when he gets a signal. I'm so annoyed about it as it looks like it's been done by someone in this country! Typical it should happen when I can't contact him too.
Any way today's share is the two digi scrap pages I used to make their good luck card before they left (unfortunately I forgot to take a photo of the card itself and it's en route to Mongolia!)



The pages were made in My Memories Suite using a kit called Ticket to Ride from Mye de Leon which I bought a while ago. The sentiment on the second page is a freebie from Dee at Dees Designs,

  2. Great scrap pages Carol. I wouldn't imagine there is much of a signal in Mongolia - a bit like the Isle of Wight! I bet you are so cross about his bank account, I hope you are able to do something to stop it happening again.

  7. Stunning Carol loving the colour tones and the quote is great. I am not surprised you are angry about some ANOTHER taking funds out of his account. I hope the bank gets it sorted for you.

  11. What a fab project Carol. Not so good news about his bank card though, there's some horrid people about out there, like the one who crashed into us last monday and wrote off our car!
    I'm sure they're having a great time though!
    Off to have a wee look around as I've not been about for a while!!

  16. Sounds like they are on a wonderful adventure. Your pages are wonderful and I would have loved to see the card you made using these. I hope that you speak to the boys soon so you can be reassured they are okay and that the bank can assist you in getting back the money taken on the credit card.
    Sadly I am hearing of this type of thing happening more and more. xx
