Ermmm! Something Sphere!

You might have guessed from my title I have no idea what this thing is called! Nige says its a something sphere, but he can't say what! So if you know please tell me so I can put a googling hubby out of his misery!

Its the start of a new challenge over at My Time To Craft today & we have the dreaded theme of

 MEN ONLY!!

yeah I know the dreaded male card, but hey if you join in with us its one extra male card to
 your collection lol!! 

I had this stamp set free with (I think) the Docrafts magazine, maybees last month & its sat there staring at me. As I had no papers to match I had to get the 'Chronology' stack by Papermania & they are gorgeous!
Hope you like my attempt at something sooo not me! lol

Hi Shell

Hope you are all well in your neck of the woods .. .. I am able to put you out of your misery ... .. it is called an Armillary Sphere I think (not that I knew .. .. I googled it LOL!! and here is a link so you can learn all about it and impress Nige later!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armillary_sphere)

You say this is "not your thing" .. .. well I am thinking it could be because you have done a smashing job. Love it very much.

Have a good week and off you go to do your homework now!

Love Jules xx

Great card hunnie, love the new papers they have a sort of vintage feel that goes with your image.
My man says it is a Gyroscope for navigating the stars or something to do with navigating the moon and stars, I hope Nige isn't still stuck to google trying to work it out lol.
