Golden Wedding. . . . . . . .

Good morning everyone. Hope all is good with you and you're enjoying a bit of September sunshine. One of the jobs on my list was the garden so I was out there yesterday cutting things back ready for winter.

Thank you for your kind comments on Anya's box frame. I think it will have a photo of her 21st in there by the time I get to hand it over hahaha!!! 

Before I forget, Pamellia, The Singapore GP is the Formula 1 motor racing, of which I am an avid fan.

Kate, I'm so glad I had gone incommunicado when the GP highlights started otherwise if I had read your comment at the time you posted it, I would have only been part way through the highlights program and you told me who had won hahaha! Would have then taken you across my knee in the Harvester in November lol!!! Wendy, thank you for not telling me lol!!!

Now, today's card I made and sent to our Patricia and her hubby John for their Golden Wedding Anniversary at the weekend. A few weeks ago, Patricia mentioned in conversation about this momentous occasion being in September. As I didn't know what date in September, I quickly made this card to get in the post to mark the happy event (if I had realised I had more time, I would have made a better job of it lol!!!).

I would have been happy to not show this on the blog if Patricia preferred to keep it private but she was happy for me to show it after the special day.

Ingredients

More cream card

Gold mirror card

I feel very lucky to be able to call Patricia a friend and just didn't want this wonderful milestone to pass without my sending something.

Hope you saw Patricia and John's wedding snaps on her blog. What a handsome and happy pair they made and still do!!! Congratulations again to you both.

Well, that's me folks, except to say to those who met John at the weekend, see I told you he didn't bite lol!!!

Be good.

Another Piece of Peace. . . . . . .

Good morning one and all. Hope its all hanging well today. 

Thank you for your best wishes for my shift on Sunday. It was busy but otherwise uneventful. I certainly did not need to call on any madras based repellent hahaha!!!

Hello to Sam. Thank you for popping by again and leaving a comment.

Now, today I'm just slipping in a quickie (behave!!!) as Its the second card I mentioned, using Sue's "Peace" die. The two pieces of Peace (try saying that after a pint of Vimto lol!!!) are spaced slightly wider on this one and I decided to go all dramatic with it, in black and gold.

Ingredients

Black PMD card

Gold mirror card (C&C)

Sue Wilson "Peace" die

SB Tapestry die (centre portion cut out)

X-Cut Extra Large Circle die set

Crafters Companion sentiment stamp

Black archival ink

Krylon Gold Leaf pen (used around the edge of the Peace cuts and to colour the bling)

I've tried to angle the card so that the dreaded mirror card glare didn't happen but there's a little flicker, for which I apologise. 

I am in love with the Krylon pen. I know they are not cheap but its fabulous. I'm seriously thinking of investing in the silver and copper too.

Anyhoo, all this chat won't get the lady a baby as my lovely Mum used to say (think it may have been some sort of Malaysian saying that's got lost in translation lol!!!).

At the charity shop today so no need to "madras up" last night as no sign of fisticuffs in there usually.

Have a good day chaps, whatever you are up to.

TTFN
