With A Little Help From My Friends

How are you this Monday afternoon? I hope you are all doing OK. There are so many funny bugs and viruses about at the minute but I hope you've managed to avoid them and if not are beginning to feel much better. We've both been suffering silly colds recently but thankfully they have shuffled off from where they came now.

I have to say a big thank you to you all for your wonderful suggestions following my last post. I read and pondered them all and firstly took Claire's suggestion to sleep on it!!!


Lesley suggested a quote, white fluffy clouds and birds (Shaz also agreed with the bird idea) which I liked and Jo thought a straw hat would be good and Gay suggested decoupaging it. Both worked a treat.


I didn't want to add a quote to the front as I quite like the big sky look so added it to the edge instead. It reads:

A garden of sunflowers beckoned to me,
Come join us, my lady and joyous you'll be.

So I now have a finished canvas I'm happy with. I knew you'd come up trumps and you didn't let me down. I feel like I've had a lovely crafting session with all my talented friends.

Today I've had to go back to card making for yet another Golden Wedding. We seem to be surrounded by Golden Wedding couples at the minute, how wonderful to reach 50 years of marriage. I hope we get there one day.


Anyway, here is the card I've made using the lovely Stampin Up medallion stamp. It was quite quick and simple but this is such a beautiful stamp I don't think it needs much else.


I raised up the main panel and cut the 50 using a Sissix die.

Well, I'd better go and get tea on so I'll just say thanks for stopping by and see you soon.

I've just looked at the photo of the card on the post and realised the bow was wrong at the top and it's now in the middle!!!!!
