Allsorts Romantic Occasions

Liz has chosen our optional theme at Allsorts this week.

It's all about Romantic Occasions if you want to be tempted by a challenge. We'd love to see your Anything Goes makes too. Prizes will be drawn at the end of the month.

Prizes from Highlight Crafts,  AALL and Create and Stampendous

I have made an anniversary card using a paper pad and die from a Crafters Companion collection called Rustic Wedding. I rather like the earthy tones that really are quite different.

I used an LOTV sentiment and a wooden "love" embellishment that I found in a drawer. I added lace and pearls as a nod to the kind of trim that might adorn a wedding dress. As we are now in July let's hope that the summer brides are going to enjoy some good weather now, unlike the first six months of the year!!

Talking of weather we had plenty of rain yesterday after a dry spell so it was quite nice not to have to water the garden.

Hope that you will join us. Have a good weekendxx

 

Beary Cute indeed!!

Hello my crafty friends. I hope you had a lovely weekend, despite the ferocious weather, and are refreshed and ready to take this week in hand and make it a good one!! 

I am kicking mine off with a DT piece for 

where the challenge theme is BEARY CUTE so we would like you to raid your stash and share a card featuring a bear or two!!

Here is mine, using an image from our sponsor Crafty Sentiments

I have made an anniversary card for a change. The pretty papers are from a Craftwork Cards pad.

I hope that you will take some inspiration from my little card and dust off your bear stamps, decoupage or, perhaps, toppers and join us!!

I have had a busy couple of weeks work wise so my crafty time has been in short supply. My accident prone Husband had another trip to A&E last week following another head injury at work. I am considering buying him one of those blow up sumo wrestler suits for added protection!!

See you later in the week xx
