Chicago Rock

Ok so I am here today to share a commission with you, one of the lads that Nige works with asked me to make a wedding anniversary card for his wife.....I said ok, teddies, flowers, bunnies etc....

NOPE, he wanted a couple kissing, not so difficult. But then he asked if they could be standing in front of Chicago Rock Cafe, because thats were they met.

So with some help from my fabulous crafty friends on Facebook, I came up with this.....

Its on an 8" square card base....I quite like it now its finished lol!!!

Just Married!

Its time for a new challenge over at A&T Challenges where this fortnight we have a bingo grid for you (which you will find here!) you can choose any three items as long as they are all in a row horizontal or vertical! Really easy!

Ok I chose the first vertical line which is using.....die cuts, ribbon & a flourish!

This is one of my favourite Emerald Faeries images so sweet!

I decided to use a 'Just Married' sentiment because, whilst I was chatting on the phone to Hazel (after sending her a picture of my card) I was reading through my sentiments & we both went yes when I read this one out.....so 'Just Married' it is!!!
