Medals & Monarchs

Good Morning everyone, hope your having a good weekend and have a great bank holiday Monday tomorrow. Yesterday was a lovely day for me, after watching my youngest play football we went home had some lunch, then headed off to LIL OF THE VALLEY shop, they had a special promotion on with 10% off all stamps. So I bought six new stamps and one of them was a Birthday present for a special friend. I also met Dawny P, which was great, what a lovely lady she is and her work is beautiful. I had taken Bobby with me and she was really nice to him, they had a little conversation about crafting and his love of promarkers (Mummy's Promarkers). Thanks Dawny x

Retirement Relaxation

Hello everyone, happy Bank holiday weekend to you all.
This is a rare post for me as I found a little extra time to have a play this week with some images that I've wanted to use for ages, that's right this is just for fun!
I love Popcorn bear and Souffle, and my Mam needed a retirement card and I thought this image fits the bill. I had this fabulous paper from Forever friends, every sheet is gorgeous and I just wanted to use it, and I thought this image was perfect for them. I've pleated my ribbon in three places to make it a bit different as it's a mans card, so it's instead of a bow. I hope you all have a nice relaxing weekend and bank holiday.


I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:
1. Crafters Companion - challenge 24 - Here Comes Summer
2. Creative Inspirations Wednesday - challenge 161 - Animal Antics
3. MAWTT - Summer Sunshine
4. Mishelflo's - challenge 1 - Celebration
5. Sweet Stampin' - 4 legged friends

Recipe:-
