OUR WEDDING

Hello Everyone

We got married on Saturday 1st October 2011 and it was the best day of our lives. It was one of the hottest day of the year, with temperature reaching 29 degrees on the day. Here is a selection of some of wedding pictures, enjoy!

A Long Time....

2012-01-25T14:29:00.002Z

Hello Everyone

It's been a long time since I posted on my blog, I have been so busy since I got married in October and it has been non stop. I also have a full time job now, so that is going to keep me even more busy. I am also ready to launch my new Wedding Stationery business on line with a new website my hubby created for me.

I am also looking to get on to a design team, to keep myself busy on my days off, as I haven't crafted for ages and got my mojo back now! So perhaps you will see a few more of my designs on here soon, once I get back into the swing of things.

Watch this space....

Hello Everyone

I haven't been feeling too well today, feeling a bit sick, must be the bug going around at the moment. Anyway I have been lying around on the settee watching TV for the last couple of hours and it got boring, so decided to get my craft stuff out and have a little play as it's one of my friend's birthday coming up soon and I made this card below for her:

(Side View)

It's the first card I have done in ages, as I have been so busy doing my own wedding stationery and other wedding stationery orders. It's nice to craft again after all this time. Now what I need to do is to go on a craft shopping spree! lol

Thanks for looking and for all your nice comments

Pear Tree Designs - Challenge 4

2010-06-13T22:54:00.000+01:00

Hello Everyone

Wow what a week I have had, it has been a busy one at that! I am proud of England with their 1-1 draw against USA, it was a brillaint match!

So I have only just managed to make this week's DT card for my challenge blog over at

Pear Tree Designs Challenge Blog

The challenge was to produce a card relating to 'Father's Day' as it is fast approaching and I thought it would be a lovely challenge, especially when not many crafters attempt to do male cards...I know I don't as they are difficult ones to do!

Hello Everyone

Today has been a happy but boring day, my sister in law has gone into labour and she is still in labour at this moment in time, so that is exciting and good to know! But the weather is horrible and I decided to do some crafting, but was a bit bored and couldn't get in the mood, but I managed to do one card!

Here it is:

This card was made for the following challenges:

Simon Says Challenge - A Recipe

Mojo Monday Challenge - A Sketch
Charisma Cardz Challenge - Flowers
Cupcake Craft Challenge - Dazzle Us

I have followed the challenges to the best of my ability and really enjoyed making this card!

Thanks for taking a look
