Wedding Guest book

Good morning,

Thanks for all your lovely comments.

Sorry not been by in a while.

I'm busy with the neighbours wedding invitations.

I have been trying to fit some DT work in with them too.

I needed to make a project for the LOTV inspiration blog

so I combined this with a wedding guest book for my neighbour too.

I have used:

LOTV ~ Wedding Couple ( I don't think I will ever tire of this stamp)

Sizzix ~ Tag

Tim Holtz DIs, On the edge Brackets and Tattered Florals

(I used chipboard for the flowers,

because I didn't think fabric/paper flowers 

would withstand all the handling)

Nestabilities ~ Labels 4

The little bird charm was added because that will be their married name!

Forever forgetful

Good morning,

It's time again for another fab challenge at TRULY SCRUMTIOUS

This fortnight it's Bente's turn to pick the theme,

and she'd like you to use

SOMETHING YOU'D FORGOTTEN

This really isn't very difficult for me, 

I'd forget my head if it wasn't screwed on LOL

Anyway get looking in those drawers and see what you can find!

I have used Bo Bunny "et cetera" paper pad, which I had completely forgotten about,

There were another couple of pads too, so it was like Christmas all over again.

I'm also always forgetting to use my cricut, so that got the dust blown off it too for the "Dad" sentiment.

I have also used:

LOTV ~ Lazy afternoon and Greetings postmarks (loving these)

DooHickey ~ Cloud

Nestabilities ~ Scallop rectangles and labels 16 (for "relax" sentiment)

SU ~ Corner punch

Leaf punch

Cotton scrim from B&Q

Hope you can join us this fortnight,

ALLSORTS DT ~ Celebration of nations and some news

Morning, Cant believe we are already halfway through January,

Where did it go?

Finally got the insurance sorted for our car,

Hopefully pick up our new one next week,

That'll be nearly 8 weeks without a car for me.

Have been walking to school, so that's a good thing and have saved money by not going craft shopping!!!

I have been doing my main shop online, and this week Darren took me to Morrisons.

I was like a kid in a toy shop, it seems ages since I've been to a supermarket LOL!

xXx

This week at ALLSORTS my lovely friend Nicola has chosen....

CELEBRATION of  NATIONS

 This could mean a celebration of the forthcoming Olympics later this year, or you can celebrate your home country through your creations, ideally incorporating your national flag colours

I have chosen the colours of the United Jack

RED WHITE and BLUE

I have used:

Magnolia ~ Papers and Tilda as a nurse

Nestabilities ~ Labels 18 and butterflies

DooHickey ~ Swirl

Now onto my news!

Back in September I was over the moon to be asked to join the
LOTV Challenge DT, Now we all know that saddly this recently closed down,
and like many others I was gutted.
But I was chuffed to bits when Lisa and Laila
asked me join their DT over at the
LOTV Ideas to Inspire blog
I can't begin to say how exciting this is for me.
I just LURVE their stamps.
So be on the look out as there's some exciting stuuf going on in the near future.

Happy Saturday everyone, 

Hope you are all well.

Thankfully the wind has dropped and we only lost 2 fence posts!

Luckily, Darren always dismantles the trampoline, 

after our last 14ft one took a roll across the garden, 

clipping the conservatory and taking a fence panel out! 

So at least that was safe.

Hope you all didn't suffer too much.
