Stampavie DT Call

>> Thursday, 9 July 2009

I really should have been doing some housework this lunchtime but Thomas tested my patience to the limit all morning so while he took a nap I decided on a bit of ‘me’ time and finished this card. I have an anniversary, a family birthday and a wedding all coming up in the next week so I’m on a mission to get all the cards done in time.

This is for my sister and brother-in-laws wedding anniversary this weekend. The layout was a lovely one to use – I definitely seem to prefer symmetrical sketches. There’s plenty of embellishments on this card, don’t think I could have fitted anymore on! And what a difference photographing the card in natural light! I really must try and do this every time.

Just beautiful Sharon, your layout and colouring are superb and I'm sure your Sis and BIl will love it. You asked about the Stempelglede stamps and I got them from a shop in Norway. It was a bit problematic as they wanted me to do a bank transfer which I said no to as it would have cost more than the stamps! Eventually they gave in and let me use paypal. The postage from Norway was very reasonable, only about £4 I think. I'll hunt out the details as soon as I can for you and email you a link to the shop and you can try your luck with them. Hope you have a great weekend and a less testing time with Thomas, bless him, they really know how to push all the buttons at times :). Chris xxx
