Prom time …and a new PTW challenge

 

 

 

Evening everybody, before today's card I thought I’d just share a little pic of Joe ready for his prom at the weekend. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen him in a suit and he looked very smart

I wasn’t blogging when it was Jess’s prom a couple of years ago so I’ve added a couple of pictures of her too. I’ve swapped computers and think the main pictures of hers are on my other one, the second picture is not great but you can see her dress, it was lovely and really suited her

 

 

 

 

 

 

They’ve just grown up so quickly, I’ll put some pictures on from when they were little one day if you’d like to see them. It’s nice to put faces to names I think and we bloggers do like to chat about our families!

Now onto the new Papertake Weekly challenge and as it’s the first one of the month we have our usual

Anything Goes

There is the optional extra to include animals / creatures etc in your card or project   …you could even just use an animal print design paper if you wanted to

Remember this is only an option and if you don’t want to use this theme then you don’t have to, as always there is a fab prize up for grabs and this week our lovely sponsor is Lili of the Valley

I’ve used one of the new stamps from Lili of the Valley which go on sale at the weekend (8th on the website) and this one is Flower Fairy

I chose to go with the optional ‘add an animal’ and I’ve used the cute lil’ doggie from Millie - Me And My Dog

I didn’t have a lot of time for colouring so I paper pieced her dress and the flowers to match the background

 

 

 

 

The swirly bits round the edge are from the new Grunge Swirls  (very useful set) and the sentiments is from Handwritten Phrases

Here’s what else I used;

Square doily – Krafty Hands

Papers – K & Co

Clouds – Memory Box

Spellbinders grand labels one

Pearls, seam binding and charm all from The Ribbon Girl

Yellow liquid pearls

Have a lovely evening
