Something new

A Friend of mine is getting married at the weekend, and I really wanted to make a card that I was happy with, so I did a bit of knife wielding and using stash that I had, I embossed this corset image which I bought for my wedding invitations, and Linda you will be proud I used my SU heat and stick and Martha Stewart glitter first time and I thought it was great, glad I have 2 pots by accident.  Then I cut out some of the image on the side of the paper and stickled it to give a different bit of colour then I raised it with a 3d sticker, once I had sanded it  I was very pleased with the outcome, which actually makes a change as I am usually very difficult to please when it comes to my own stuff!

This time of year

I seem to feel the need to blog!! I have looked back and seen that every year at this time I have a post, perhaps its because of the academic year, it used to be "the children" go back to school, but now it is just the boy.  The girls are still in academia, one at Uni and the other at college, but its not the same, no school uniforms to buy for them!!

I read a post on Facebook from someone who's blog I read a lot, and she said that she found it frustrating that no one posted, so I have promised myself that I will post response and comments when I look at something new.  I am going to do this for every blog I read and see how I go!

I wanted to remind myself of the summer today so though that this image from the spring, when it felt like summer was perfect!!!
