Elephant engagement

Hello lovely people,

It's been a while!  I've been soooo busy lately that I have been neglecting my blog again, but I do have a few posts to share this week.

First up I have an engagement card that a work colleague commissioned and I was requested to put elephants on it so...

I did already have some elephant stamps I could have used but after a quick peek online I fell in love with this image and just had to get it.  It's a digi stamp and as a bonus it comes with 3 other equally gorgeous images!

What a simply adorable couple of ellies :-)

I really wanted to go for a different colour than the more traditional pinks and reds, but of course, I still wanted a pretty, floral, romantic look so out came the flowers!

The sentiment was computer generated and I also added the name of the couple after I took these photos.

I hope life is treating you all well at the moment :-)

Thanks for visiting and I really appreciate any comments that you leave,

Lovely bubbly

Hello lovely people,

Brrrrr, it's a bit chilly here in the UK but at least yesterday the rain stopped and there was quite a bit of sunshine!

I thought I would be scraping the ice off the car before heading into the hospital today but amazingly there was no frost.
I am going in lots this week to try to build up the practice hours I need for my course.

While I am exercising my little grey cells (yes, both of them!), we have a new challenge for you at As You Like It and our theme this time is...

YOUR FAVOURITE...
Paper or non-paper project
...and don't forget to tell us why it's your favourite!

Our sponsor this time is Digi Stamp Boutique with a £10 voucher

It has to be paper for me as I don't do any non-paper crafts and I do love my pretty papers, especially the pink ones!
This design is pretty restrained on the paper front for me as I thought the image suited a clean modern look.

I am rather partial to some bubbly too and I think this pretty lady has the right idea with that HUGE glass!
