Anniversary Time

Good morning all and hope that your weekend went well - and that your Monday morning is not too stressful!  It's all quiet here at the moment - all at work, uni etc., and youngest back at school (much to his distress - 7am starts are not on his list of favourite things lol!).  But it's good to have the house to myself for a few hours so I can tidy up the weekend's leftovers and then hopefully get some crafting done.  We had a quiet but relaxing weekend with an enjoyable 'movie' night on Saturday when we slouched across sofas watching the James Bond 'Skyfall' on dvd!  A fantastic film - although Daniel Craig did nothing to help my hot flushes lol!  And so pleased to hear this morning that Adele won an Oscar for the theme tune! I'm hoping to go this week with a friend to see Les Mis at the cinema - we've been promising ourselves that we'll go so we'd better get a move on before it stops showing!

Anyway, less waffle!  This card today was one made for someone who's grandparents were celebrating their Diamond Wedding - 60 years! What a fantastic achievement!


Sorry if it seems a bit dark - I should have got some better lighting sorted!  I've used some gorgeous pearlised card from Crafters Companions that is an ivory colour with a hint of a gold tinge to it. I embossed a centre panel with Cuttlebug 'divine swirls' and matted with gold mirri card. The die cut panels are Spellbinders 'lattice motifs'. I printed the sentiment onto heavyweight card and then added some bling. 
The flowers are from WOC with some sheer ribbon and heart pin from stash. 
So quite a simple one really, but I quite liked the white-on-white - and the main thing is I was pleased to hear that the couple really liked it which is the main thing! 
Right I'm off to do some crafting - and I'm thrilled to report that there are some fabulous new releases at Polkadoodles and some gorgeous new stuff coming from Whimsy too! I feel like a kid in a sweetie shop and don't know what to attack with the promarkers first lol!  So much crafting to do and so little time!
Back soon,
Kim x

    So sorry Kim I have been neglecting you the past few days, life has been hectic. I have looked back over your creations that I have missed and they have all been lovely as usual. This one is gorgeous and I am not surprised to hear that the couple also loved it.

    Hope you enjoyed the film.
