50th Birthday

Not sure who has stolen the sunshine but I should have known it would be cloudy as I am off work today and tomorrow lol

I hope the Easter bunny has been kind to you and brought you lots of chocolate!

For the last couple of days I have been busy making bits and bobs for a 50th birthday. The birthday girl just happened to be my sister and her birthday is actually tomorrow but the party is this evening.....I finally finished at about 11 this morning lol. As well as the pictures below I have made 3 A2 boards, two with photos and one with 'remember when' captions and pictures. I haven't photographed those yet but will do so tonight when they are in situ.

Papers - Craftwork Cards and Funky Hand
Stamps - Stampin Up wheel and Stampendous bodice
Sentiments - Craftwork Cards
Everything else from my stock

Happy Easter, see you tomorrow.

Wedding reception stationery

Yesterday saw the wedding of a lovely couple who I first met about two years ago. I made their invitations early last year and was privileged to have been asked to make all of the reception stationery and flowers too. I was also lucky enough to have been invited to the wedding and although I couldn't go to the reception or the evening do because hubby was working, I did go to church to see them married and it really made everything very special indeed. We have become friends and I will keep in touch with them....congratulations Jo & Phil :)

I actually made the card for the Daring Cardmakers challenge, sponsored by Teri's Delicious Doodles, which meant layering up the image on your card. The only problem is that I forgot to photograph the card laying down to show the three layers of my bride and groom! I wonder if they will still have me :)

Wedding menus, place cards etc

One of my lovely brides and grooms got married on Sunday and I did all the reception stationery last week for them. Time was so tight with it I worked all night on Thursday and it was one of those jobs where everything goes wrong. You know what I mean? I ordered the wrong card by mistake then the card I wanted was out of stock. I showed the alternative card to my groom and he liked so I went to order more and the supplier had run out of that one too. It should have been delivered last Wednesday morning but was delayed till Friday which meant they could get it to me on Monday!! Anyway, it all turned out alright in the end.....the supplier received a delivery of just enough card for my order and hubby drove down to pick it up......phew!

They certainly picked a fabulous day to get married, the weather was absolutely fabulous. I'm really looking forward to seeing the photos.

Thanks for looking.
