I hope you have had a good week and have something nice planned for the weekend. We are meeting up with our daughter and son-in-law for afternoon tea on Saturday to celebrate Father's Day. Then on Sunday we will be visiting our parents. At least it will make a change from killing ivy. Today I will be doing my last session of invigilating for this years exams. I have enjoyed it and I have met some lovely people.

Being Friday the new challenge starts on the Crafty Catz Challenge blog the theme is Anything Goes  The sponsor is Scrap N' Dipity.

For the background I used the corner dies from the Sandwich Box set from John Next Door cut in Pink. Over this I layered some of the Star Flower Leaves. The butterflies were cut with a tiny die from Creative Expression it cuts three at a time. 

There are many wonderful image in the store. Click on the logo and you will be taken there. 

This image is called Gracie Fairy and she is available HERE.  She was printed onto Neenah card and coloured with Promakers. Then she was cut out with my ScanNcut.

Unicorn Challenge Blog - Anything Goes

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends

How is your week going?

The last challenge of 2017 starts on the Unicorn Challenge Blog today and the theme is  Anything Goes. The Design Team will be having a break in December and will be back raring to go on the first Tuesday of January. So let's make this last  challenge  of 2017 go with a bang.

Back in the summer I was asked to make a wedding card by the girl who comes to the house to  give me Sport's Massages. The colour choice was pink, cream and gold.

The paper was in my stash and I just had to use the pink lace. 

I used the Creative Expressions Heart of Hearts die set to create the hearts. The Mr and Mrs die is from Crafter's Companion. 

The bunting die is one from Tattered Lace. 

The Congratulations die is a Tattered Lace die too. 

We had a lovely time at the NEC. Unfortunately on the way there we were subjected to some road rage. A man got out of his car and swore at my husband and banged on the window. He had taken objection to my husband changing lanes though there was space and he had signalled. Fortunately the man got into his car and drove away. 

We had a lovely long chat with John Lockwood and he made us a Christmas card that he signed. I was taking the selfie so I look a bit strange. I wanted my husband in the picture as he gets on well with John too. 

I won the ticket to go to the NEC from Jenny Mayes Facebook page. We went to the Hobby Art  stand to say thank and the hand over a little gift and a card. 

I was rather pleased with how this wedding card turned out. 

I would like to enter the challenge starting 7th Nov at the TTCRD Challenge blog.

Unicorn Challenge Blog - theme Perfectly Pink

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends

How has your week started? I hope everything is well with you and your family. I am slowly sorting out the room the bunnies used and then we can move back in all the things that are stored in there.

The new challenge starts on the Unicorn Challenge blog and the theme this time is Perfectly Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness.

Well what do you do when you have hexagons left over? You make a card with them of course. The ribbon was in my stash and I only just had enough. I wanted to make a DL card. 

The flamingos came from the bonus papers from an older issue of Quick Cards Made Easy Magazine. All the other papers were in my stash of bits and pieces. 

The Hexagon dies came from an issue of Crafter's Companion Inspiration magazine. 

The heart die came in a set from Creative Expressions. 

The sentiment was cut with a Tattered Lace die. 

Enjoy the rest of the week. 

I would like to enter Weeks 301 and 302 at Pixie's Snippets Playground. 

Happy Crafting

Wedding Hearts

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

I hope you have had a great weekend. We went to Reading for our one night away which seemed rather silly but it worked out really well. We did some shopping, met our daughter and her fiancé, we had a nice meal together and saw a film. Then we split up and they did some more shopping and we came back to the hotel. Then today we had a leisurely morning before heading off to see both sets of parents and now we are home.

The card I am sharing today is one I was asked to make by a colleague at work for friends of hers who are getting married soon.

She saw a card on my blog with lots of hearts on it and she wanted a similar design but using the colours of the wedding: black, white and pink. She also wanted the words in the middle. I used my Sue Wilson Heart of Heart dies to make the hearts and the mats. I embossed the surrounding hearts with the Heart Lattice embossing folder. 

I typed the words on the computer and cut them out with the heart die. 

In this shot your can see a bit of the background. On the white mat I stamped the Clarity Stamp "All You Need is Love" stamp in CS Perfect Medium and the heat embossed it in white before inking round the edges. The black in the design was cut with a Tonic die I can't remember the name. The ribbon added a splash of darker pink.  

My colleague was very pleased with this card. 

I would like to enter Pixie's Snippets Playground - Week 219. 

Have a great week.  

Happy Crafting
