Thank you flowers

It's always nice to say thank you, and even better if you do it with flowers.

So to say thank you to the ladies I met at Denman College earlier this month I made some hanging tag decorations using the Fun Flowers die on the Big Shot.



I used all sorts of different DSP and colours of cardstock, embossing some bits then sticking the three flowers together and adding ribbon for hanging.



Here are all the colour options.

The best thing about paper flowers is you don't need to water them, which is good for me, as my plants always seem to die!

Wedding night in Sheffield

Yesterday was Goergie and Brendan's wedding in Sheffield, so just a quick update to let you know I have survived! If you have me on Facebook/Twitter you'll apreciate the need for keeping this short! I ache!

Anywho, Helen and I decided we would go all out and stay at a hotel, and we got an absolute bargain with a really lovely four-star place for £50.

We napped, got ready (with the help of a shout-out on Capital FM!) and went to party. There were lots of lovely peeps, including quite a few WI ladies, and we drank and danced and were silly.

And I caught the bouquet! It got kinda crushed in the scramble, but here is how it looked this morning! It is currently hanging on my mirror drying out.



And I put my slice of wedding cake under my pillow, but I'm not really sure who I dreamed about. Maybe I have yet to meet him!

So now I'm waiting for food to be delivered from the chippy then I hope to be recovered enough to do a bit of work and prepare for Denman tomorrow!

Fairground scrapping

Yesterday I had a bit of scrapping fun with an old pic of myself and a former housemate, Vanessa.



We used to live together in Stockport and would go for a long walk at the weekends. One time we went to Oulton Park and had a go on the carousel there!



So for this page I started with a white background and coloured in a paper doily by rubbing my SU ink pads over it and coating it in Shimmer Paint. This turned out fab and is a great match to the horses. I used lots of different bits, including some different ribbons, Pearls and Gold Brads.



Lots of flowers and stars, and tons of Pearls and Rhinestones!



I used the Rub Ons for the title and scrolled the paper to match the one on the horse. His name is Troy!



I also tried out some Grungeboard.



And this is the journaling! Basically, we got on our horse anbd the carousel started going REALLY slowly. After a minute the guy in charge came walking round, looked at us and said: "There's too much weight on one side"!! That was it! So we had to move to balance it out with all the kids!

Was good fun to do this page, although it took quite a while to stick everything down!
