Congratulations on your Wedding Card

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

I hope you are all well and enjoying the sunny weather we are having. We have been making iced lattes they are very nice. The coffee machine was a good investment. 

Last week we went to the wedding of one of our good friends. Sadly his first wife died four years ago. We had all known each other for years. Even with all the restrictions the wedding was lovely. We had refreshments in the grounds of the church after the weather was perfect. We are so pleased that they have found each other. 

I used the Heart Lattice embossing folder in the background. I also added a selection of dies. 

This is an image drawn by our daughter. It was so lovely to be able to make such a personalised card. 

Here is one of the pictures from the wedding. They look so happy together. 

As I had the images I was able to make a matching tag for their small gift. 

Enjoy the rest of the week. 

Happy Crafting

Not Just Cards Challenge Blog - July Challenge - Anything Goes

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

I hope you are all well and doing okay. We had a lovely day out yesterday. We went to Furzey Gardens on the edge of the the New Forest in Hampshire. We met our friends there and we shared a lovely picnic together as well as getting coffee  in the cafe. It was so lovely to be out and to see some gorgeous plants. I was even able to buy a couple of plants for our garden. This year our garden has become very important to us like it has to many people. 

Back to business the July challenge has started at the Not Just Cards Challenge Blog. The theme is the ever popular Anything Goes. 

I have a friend who loves Star Trek (so do I). For her birthday I asked my daughter to draw my friend and her husband as characters from the Next Generation series of Star Trek. My daughter obliged. She has been drawing us as Star Trek characters for years. The moon in the background is my own photograph.  The stars I added were made with a die from the Champagne Bottle die set from the John Next Door range. 

Our challenges are always fun. Click on the logo and you will be taken to the blog. 

When my friend saw the image she was just so thrilled. I have asked my daughter to draw me some Doctor Who themed images. I know people like seeing themselves as their favourite characters. 

There is a little story with the matching gift bag. My friend, saw a gift bag I made on Facebook and challenged me to make a Star Trek themed one. That's how it all started. 

Have a great weekend. 

Happy Crafting

Penguin Christmas Card

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends

I hope you are having a good day. The sun is shining here at last but it is still cold. I said the posts would be shorter and this one will be.

This is the Christmas card I made for our daughter and son-in-law. It will be their first Christmas as a married couple.

I used the Falling Snow Embossing folder in the background. I used the snowflakes from the Winter Stamp set from John Next Door. The trees and the slope were cut with a die that came free with a magazine. 

The penguins were stamped and cut out with a matching stamp and die set from Sizzix. 

The sentiment is in the same set with its own die. 

I used these penguins on their place cards at the wedding. 

Have you heard about the next issue of Quick Cards Made Easy being their last one? It is very sad I have enjoyed that magazine. 

I would like to enter the challenge starting on 19th December at the TTCRD challenge blog and Challenge 508 at the Cute Card Thursday Challenge blog.  

Enjoy the rest of the day. 

Happy Crafting
