Silver Anniversary and Extra Blog Candy

Wow 25 years Married, would I change it? no not at all, I happened to marry the most wonderful man, caring, sharing and loving oh and patient, yes, very patient. We are celebrating our Anniversary in the Lake District, somewhere we both love to be, I don’t do parties very well as I worry too much about people enjoying themselves so escaping to a place we love was the best option.

I can tell you that Chris needs a medal the size of a bin lid because I’m not the easiest to live with as I have a fiery temper, lucky for me that he always dampens out the flames (that's the fireman in him), I have a couple of picture to show you, now and then ones.

Juicy Watermelon

I love this Watermelon Girl by Mo’s Digital Pencil such a fresh image and you just must check out her dress, it’s just the cutest.

I decided to make this into a fun card and make a slice of watermelon.

Coloured with Copic Markers, an oval cut out in green and scored in half to make a card then a smaller oval cut out in melon coloured card, I used a teardrop punch for the pips and added a pretty green satin ribbon to finish.
