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.

Then July 19th 1986

 

Now

Heaven knows where that hair went.

We are off to a little Indian restaurant tonight.

…………………….

I promised that I would add more blog candy as the numbers crept in so I've added what's in the pictures below, if you haven't yet added you name to be in for a chance you have until midnight tonight to enter.

and a few more goodies

 

You can find the original post here

Sugar Plum Fairy

Sugar Plum Fairy “just like me” ha,ha, available from Mo’s Digital Pencil, such a pretty little thing and a break away from the traditional red, green and gold for Christmas cards.

Coloured with Copic markers, a doily die from Marianne Creatables my own designer paper snowflakes, pearls and ribbon to finish.

I’m in my favourite part of the UK this week (Lake District) but I haven’t forgotten you and I have some posts scheduled.

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.

Jack Two Years Old

It’s hard to believe that our beautiful Grandson Jack is now two years old it only seems like yesterday that I was announcing his arrival.

I thought I would share one of my favourite pictures from his Mam and Dads Wedding Day and Jack as Page Boy, his Mam had just arrived at the church and was telling Jack a tall story by the looks of things, just look at the concentration on his face.

Happy Birthday Jack!

Rocky/Boxer Digital Stamp–Just Inklined

Just check out that black eye ha ha!

Rocky is a digi stamp from Just Inklined and perfect for the man in your life, weather it is a congratulations ”pleased you didn’t throw in the Towel” kind of card or a general Birthday or Anniversary card.

Coloured with Promarkers , his black eye was made with a pencil and some finger smudging, I used the Core’dination paper pad for the tearing part and found some applique stars in my stash to add to the card.
