Dear Reader
It's been a weekend to remember - we've been 'in the pink' as granny would say, so I've posted a couple of cards I've put together to reflect that. This one is for the Magnolia Challenge, Sketch Saturday and one other challenge which for the moment I can't find! lol It was a challenge asking for pink, light green and dark green and I can't for the life of me find it now. Leave a comment if you know where it's at!! I've used Magnolia Edwin (kindly given to me by Janet - thanks Janet) coloured in with Sekura pens. I wanted a Love theme so he's now holding a love heart (appropriate for the 'in the pink' weekend we are having and the fact it's Valentines Day! I bet you can all guess it's a Cuttlebug heart so no prizes for that one! Papers are by Martha Stewart (got a bit distressed (get it!!) with K & Co). Sorry bad joke but I'm leaving it in! I've inked everything with Tattered Rose distress ink and used embossed Cuttlebug hearts. Tag is Tiny Tags stamp by Woodware and I've gone to town with the Stickles. Embellishments and ribbon from RWS and stash.
I'm sure most of you that read this blog know about Tracey's 40th Birthday Bash yesterday. I was amazed at the way it all came together, with lots of people contributing and doing their own thing and yet it all tailored together seamlessly with hardly any duplication. Different people even arrived bearing the same range of decorations (pink of course) and serviettes etc- how remarkable is that! The shop looked fabulous, the table was decorated beautifully, the food was yummy and we even had flower decorations and sprinkles to set the whole thing off. And of course a wonderful set of balloons (you can't have a birthday party without balloons!) including Nicki's remarkable balloon man, named Buster, who I have been photographed kissing. Can't wait to see that one - not!! lol Lots of customers, family and friends were there and it was a really fitting tribute to Tracey's 40th and the shop's 1st birthday! To (mis)quote Captain Kirk (OMG I'm now quoting him as well as granny!) may they both go forth and prosper.. Happy Birthday Tracey and Happy Birthday Running with Scissors! Love you both xxx
