seeing as my husbands birthday is on valentines day..i now have to make him a birthday card too.... which also means if we want to go out for a birthday meal together or with family, seems everywhere is crowded or very expensive.... although everyone says it must be lovely having your birthday on the 14th..my husband never really gets a day to celebrate just for him !!

looks like another wintery weekend..keep warm and dry..perfect time to stay in and be creative!!

here is the card i made for them.

used K&CO papers, papermania stickers, DCWV vellum wording, brads from my stash. finished with glitter. made a small pocket for a hand made envelope containing wedding money (thats what they asked for) the area on the right hand side (inside)i used for our personal message ( pachment paper and gold pen), which i added after this photo was taken.




here are the happy couple , signing the register, just as the Red Arrows flew past ~how well planned is that!! helen`s theme was sunflowers , so lots of bright yellows and oranges on a very dull day.

..and here we are ~not the best photo ever ~but vicki you can see the outfits!!

here are my boys at the evening do ~ thankyou andy and helen for a wonderful day ~ and andy a great chance to catch up with old friends ( andy and myself have know each other since primary school, so was a great chance to chat with "matured" play pals, ~remembering the games of cowboys and indians etc ~and meeting their children, and their parents, who all still live in the same three roads from our childhood . so all three generations, reminiscing ~what are weddings for??? .. and what a small world ~what are the chances of us both moving to another town and move next door to each other!!)

hope you all have a great day today ~i think we will just take it easy ~ and wait to see the happy couple and baby elsie return home! byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee xx
