WEDDING DAY CONGRATULATIONS

Wedding card today and this one is for a wedding we are going to in August who is a friend of our daughter's from university. It is certainly the season for wedding as I will be making another one for my son who is also going to a wedding of a university friend but I will probably go for a different colour scheme.

The design was inspired by the sketch over at  waltzingmouse sketch challenge 103 .

The papers are from the DCWV Citrus Stack and loved these shades of mint and lime and then just adding two other colours which was yellow for the flowers and brown for the inking.

Items used for this card:

DCWV Citrus Stack

Versafine Ink - Vintage Sepia

Waltzingmouse Stamps - Compact Sentiments - Say It Loud

Spellbinder Dies - Foliage - Rose Creations - Labels Fifteen - Labels Four - Bitty Blossoms

fun foam - ribbon - glitter - trinkets - bling

Take care and enjoy the rest of your day

THE OLYMPIC TORCH ARRIVES IN BURY

No crafting today as I have been watching the Olympic Torch Relay through Bury and wanted to share some pictures with you and guess what the rain stayed away.

Yes my son took this picture of me leaning out of the window at my daughter's apartment.

 The Fire Station across the road brought out their fire engines.

And here is the Olympic Torch.

The lad in the middle of this picture wearing a green jumper is my son with his friends heading back home.

THINKING ABOUT YOU

Hello again on this very wet morning and it looks like it could be here for the weekend which is a shame as Bury is getting ready to receive the Olympic Torch tomorrow.Tonight I am staying at my daughter's so that tomorrow we can watch the torch pass by right below her apartment so we will get a really good view and hopefully get a picture so that I can show you it next time.

Todat my card was inspired by the sketch over at waltzing mouse sketch challenge and the colours from colour q.

Thought I would try something a bit different and use some acetate on the front of the card and give the effect of the white butterfly flying in the air. You will notice that once again I have used one of my favourite flowers in fun foam as well as the butterflies.

craft items used :

Spellbinders - Tags Five, Beaded Ovals, Grand Squares

Cheery Lynn - Exotic Butterflies Small

Waltzingmouse - Fancy Phrases, Pic-nic Patterns

Color Box Pad - Coral, Turquoise

Hobbycraft Ink Pad - Yellow, Light Blue

acetate, fun foam and ribbon

Well off  now to pack a bag and fingers crossed that for a couple of hours tomorrow while the Olympic Torch is in our town that the rain stays away.Enjoy your weekend where ever you are and hope your weather is better than ours.

Take Care

HOLD CHRISTMAS in your HEART

It's time again for the June Blog Party over at waltzingmouse.blogspot.co.uk and the inspiration for this blog is this photo.



For my card I have taken inspiration from the colours and the panels on the wall and created this Christmas Card. The sentiment I used made me include some heart shapes using Spellbinder Dies and the stamping using Waltzingmouse stamps.

This is my first time entering WMS Party Blog as last time I missed the time slot so this time I had it marked down in my diary so as not to forget again.

Believe it or not the sun is shining so off to do a bit more gardening so take care until the next time.
