Good Morning Everyone
Well my lovely visitors arrived safely yesterday and the stamps and promarkers are slowly starting to take over the dining room table. My lovely Daughter in Law and I plan to hibernate at the table for most of the day "colouring in" and discussing all things crafty!!
The men "have things to do" too - so hopefully they will just get on with them and we will be allowed to just please ourselves for the majority of the day.
At the moment everyone is still in bed - exhausted from their journey and late night .. .. .. so I have crept downstairs to clear away all the "kitchen mess" and have a quick blog session.
I promised to share with you a wedding card I made for my Son to give to his friends who are getting married today.
My Son went to school with the bride .. .. she is the twin sister of his best friend from school days .. .. .. and the groom is a good friend through their mutual love of music. (Watch this space folks .. .. .. they are soon to be releasing a single and an album and I am hoping to be clever and be able to link you to it on ITunes).
I had been working on some wedding stationery samples for a possible client and my Son saw one that he particularly liked and asked if I could turn it into a wedding card for him. I always love it when he likes something I have done .. .. it always means so much more to me when he approves because he trained in art and design and is so mega talented.
So .. .. here it is
