The summer holidays have begun and it's wonderful not having to schedule my day around school runs! I must tell you about my very emotional week though. It is my eldest son's last year at his Primary School and this week saw me watching his last Sports Day and attending a wonderful Leavers Assembly where I shed some tears (but don't tell anyone!). He is sad to leave his friends as he is going to a different school to them but he will of course keep in touch. He is very excited to start Senior School in September.
On with what I'm supposed to be blogging about and that is the latest challenge over on the Daring Cardmakers which is wedding themed. Surprisingly I haven't had to make a wedding card this year so far. However, I did have a commission for a special anniversary card earlier in the week which will be winging its way to Hong Kong so I thought I'd share that!
I predominantly used an old Hunkydory kit I had in my stash that I won for having my card published in a magazine many years ago. Of course, I couldn't make an anniversary card without using hearts so I used a mix of punched and die cut ones.
You can see a lot more inspiration from the Design Team HERE and I hope you'll join in!
I've another busy weekend - a presentation tomorrow morning for the boys and a family lunch to prepare for on Sunday.
I hope you have a great weekend whatever you do,
Shabneez
Products Used:
Hunkydory Pack
Fiskars Medium Heart Punch
Everything else from my stash
