Come on Team GB! 2012.07.26.

The opening ceremony of London 2012 is tomorrow and I can barely contain my excitement.

I have the upmost respect for all taking part and will be proud of everyones acheivement, whichever country they are representing but obviously most of my cheers will be for Team GB. Athletes are so inspiring to me as they so committed to their passion and follow it to the nth degree.

The ceremony starts at 9pm tomorrow British time and I have a feeling we are in for a real treat!

I sent Team GB our specially designed London 2012 Olympics e card with a message from everyone at Katie's Cards  to show our support. Take a look at the card here.

16 days left until the London 2012 opening ceremony! 2012.07.11.

The London 2012 Olympic's are almost here!

Many people across the globe are gearing up for this fantastic event,  especially those who live in England, who have been anticipating it since 2007 with construction of the new Olympic park and re-generation of the surrounding area since work began in May 2008.

A huge project, the site contains the huge Olympic stadium, Aquatics Centre, the Olympic village which is used for accommodation for athletes, a Velodrome and a white water centre. Take a look at this fantastic time-lapse video taken by the Olmpic committee, which shows you the stadium and surroundings under construction to completion;

The opening ceremony is always a very entertaining beginning and a chance for the hosting country to show their interpretation of the meaning and importance of the games.

The London 2012 opening ceremony has been spearheaded by Danny Boyle who has been appointed Artistic Director of the London 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony. The theme and name of the opening ceremony is 'Isles of Wonder'. It will commence at 9pm on Friday the 27th of July and will sure to be entertaining. Danny said:

'Our Isles of Wonder salutes and celebrates the exuberant creativity of the British genius in an Opening Ceremony that we hope will be as unpredictable and inventive as the British people'

I'm sure many of you will agree that this is definitely something to celebrate and enjoy with loved ones. Its not too late to organise your own opening ceremony party or get together so why not take advantage of our specially designed, London 2012 e card and send your loved ones an invite to your themed party?
