Wedded Bliss

Thought I’d post up this LO I did of our wedding day over 13 years ago (I was a child bride! – okay, 22, but that seems young now)! I was at mums today and whilst rifling through some old stuff I came across a video of our wedding. We never actually had a copy for some reason and so I haven’t watched it for over 10 years. Anyhoo, it made me feel rather old and Chris looked like a 12 year old! I found some old school photos too which I’ll scan and put on Facebook later!!! Oh to be 22 again – I wonder if my wedding dress still fits…..

The title was done using a masking technique I saw in Scrapbook Inspirations a couple of years ago. I used chipboard letters but you could use anything for the mask. Place your desired shape where you want it (I used a bit of low tack tape to make sure it didn’t move)then sprinkle embossing powder over it. You then heat from the underside which is a little tricky but wasily enough done. When the powder is all melted you take your shape away to reveal your image. Thought I’d just add this info as a few people have asked how it was done. Hope that all made sense!

What a Wet Weekend!

Wet for 2 reasons – 1. It’s raining and 2. We took the 5 kids swimming to West Kirby Concourse (our local municipal sports centre) this morning. Because of the ages of our children (eldest is 9, youngest is 11 months) there are restrictions on the ratio of children to adults in public pools. Now that Daniel and Olivia are 9 and 8 we ar able to all go – hurrah! It is a headache and something of a military operation to get them in and out but nevertheless we all had a great time.

Strawberries and Cream anyone?

Ok, as the name may have suggested – I LOVE GLITTER. The more sparkly something is the more I just desire it! Well, I made this card the other day and have to say the glitter on it looks gorgeous in real life. I die cut three strawberries (quickutz) from red bazzil to which I had stuck some adhesive sheets. I peeled off the backing and dipped it in the red glitter and it is just lovely. I can see these little strawberries appearing all over the place now.
Hmm, I wonder if it’s too late in the season for srawberry picking? I need some photos to go with the LO I now need to do!!!!
