Light A Candle

Well what a beautiful week it has been weather wise, the kids break up on Wednesday for the summer holidays and I have my Aunts funeral on Thursday so a bit of a mixed week.  But a trip to Blackpool is in order to cheer things up tomorrow.  Pity my eldest son isn't coming but he's offered to look after the dogs etc...........
So It's time for a new challenge today at Allsorts.
This week is our lovely Helene's turn to host and she would like to see 'Anything But A Card'
So I thought a candle was in order for a change, I did think gift bag at first LOL but you might be getting a bit fed up of them from me.
I went a bit vintage on it using this La Blanche image stamped then coloured with Spectrum Noirs.

For the back of the candle I stamped a sentiment from Indigo Blu, some gold stickles dotted around and a die cut picket fence to finish the look off.

Baking Gift Bag

Good Morning bloggers, it's Saturday morning so It's time for a new challenge today at Allsorts.
This week is our lovely Kath's turn to host and she would like to see 'Gingham Style'

It's my Mum's Birthday today so I needed a Gift bag to put some goodies in, she loves Turkish Delight but not the chocolate coated one you can buy, but the Rose flavoured one with the powder on the outside and I know of a stall that sells it but it's quite expensive, so I bought her some and some of her favourite Thorntons chocolates as I have given her money for her birthday to spend on her Holidays next week but wanted her to have something to open.
I thought the image on this went well with what I was putting in it, and I love red Gingham with anything to do with food, baking or to do with the kitchen.
