No card..just a few wedding pics!!

Hello..

Well we had a lovely day at my sisters wedding..

It was quite strange though as (now I am gonna give you the short versions as the real story confused even my 58 year old social worker who I thought would have heard everything lol!!)... basically, my parents and their best friends wife swapped when I was about 2 (not swinging..more of an affair!!!!) so my Dad and step Mum Veronica married, and My Mum and step Dad Malc eventually married (remember Veronica and Malc were once married to each other lol!!) at 7 years old I came to live with my Dad and Veronica who had my sister Eve (not her wedding- that's in July). Mum n Malc had 2 girls Zoe (- her wedding) and Jane. Malc and Veronica have two sons Alan (In the photos) and Paul - lets just say not the nicest person and we do not speak!!

So I grew up with Eve and Paul but had nothing to do with my Mum or siblings for 24ish years. I got in touch with my Mum 3 years ago.. So I haven't really grown up knowing my sisters so it was nice that they invited me. It turned out one of my old friends is Zoe's best friend so we caught up (well after 24 years there is a lot to talk about lol!!).

Any way as I grew up with my Dad everyone says I am a mini him... but I have to say after meeting my mum I am a mini her as well lol... look...

Me and my Mum with sisters Zoe and Jane!

With Malc and Alan too (I have his wedding too in July!!

Well I hope you are not too confused lol...

See you all tomorrow with some cards xxx

Wedding season has begun

Good morning campers and how are we all this bright and sunny Saturday morning???

Well this year is quite exciting for me as 2 of my little sisters are getting married as well as 1 of my brothers!!

My eldest younger sister is getting married later today to start it all off, so it will be family celebrations all day today lol...

Gothic punk girl..

Well good evening..

I have had this stamp for ages (probably a year which makes me sound awful!!) and never coloured it!!

The other week I inked up one image of every stamp I owned.. Now while it took a lot of card, it was well worth it!!

I found some real gems - like this one that I forgot I had!! I took them all on holiday and in the mornings (and afternoons, when Sam needed a kip!!) I sat and coloured a heap of them in...

Now I love the image but not sure on the pics..the card looks so much better in real life lol..

so here she is!!

Now I had a little canoe accident on holiday (well not so little but rather funny!!) and my camera is full of water so Sam is taking my pics (thanks!!) so she keeps taking arty photos.. so I better display some before she tells me off lol..

The image is from the greetings farm

Flowers and ribbon I got from Crafty Emma's Store

As I did the MME Lime twist papers (scrummy!!)

We do love it, no computer and our phones tend not to work much which is lovely - well until I started work this morning and saw my 600 emails lol...

So today I have an Inky card for you..

I purchased the Lili with chalkboard stamp a few weeks ago and coloured it in..but what can you do with a blackboard??

I tried to colour it lighter, make it a white board...but I wanted it to be a chalk board!!

Then like a bolt of lightening it hit me....

Use a white gel pen!!!!

The great thing is you can write any message!!

You can get the stamp here

The papers are basic grey so luscious and I got it over at crafty Emma's with the card candy too

I am entering:

Were all going on a summer holiday....

Well I am lol... So I am hoping mr scheule has done his job and this has popped up this morning lol..

Sam and I are having 10 days down at Kennack Sands (The Lizard in Cornwall). I actually think it's my fave ever place... The first time Sam and I exchanged wedding rings we did it on a little cove down there (Kynance) so it holds a very special place in my heart!! (by the way we have only done it twice as Civil partnerships became legal lol!!!)

So I have 2 cards today

Firstly it's Fi's team over at Sweet stampin and this week we want to see some childhood memories...

I thought about it, thought some more and decided to combine 2 memories... I used to love dressing up and I loved dandelion clocks (I hope it wasn't just me lol) I used to waite and wait till they were ready then we had a ryhme to blow them all off lol.. oh to be a child again with no crows feet or grey hair lol... so here is my card:

The image is LOTV as is the sentiment

Papers are basic grey so Lucious which I got from Crafty Emma's

I also used the Martha Stewart around the page punch (love em!!)

I also have my CES card and this week we want to see your favourite colour combo...That's right it's up to you!!!

Easy?? Well I thought that until I had to decide lol.. but my fave colours are pink and aqua (torquise) so that's what I chose lol..

Isn't Mia just adorable? She is from a new range of wild rose stamps which you can get over at the store

as are the scrummy MME papers and pearls

Now the roses are some that fell into my basket when I went over to wild orchid crafts lol...
