Anniversaries and a birthday


Good morning (just!) I'm a bit late today, still trying to get straight after decorating the kitchen and bedroom this week- well hubby did the decorating- I supervised :))) It all looks clean and fresh now but heaven knows why we have so much stuff, moving it all out and then back into place seems to take forever but I've been ruthless and sent loads to the local charity shop.
Anyway back to the cards- this fortnight our challenge theme at Sweet Stampin' is Anniversaries.
Both my daughter and my son chose to get married in December- bless them! My daughter in Mauritius and my son in Canterbury, so very different weddings but both wonderful happy  days. As December is so busy I cheated and made 2 versions of the same card just changing the colours. The stamps are Lavinia and the  heart stencil is a home made one using a die cut.

Please take a look at the Challenge Blog to see what my lovely teamies have created this fortnight, we'd love to see your anniversary makes too, please remember to stamp something!

It's Marvin's first birthday today- he's celebrated with a long walk (including chasing a fox and several squirrels), a sausage with his breakfast, and has a new toy to chew up play with later today after his second walk- it's a dog's life!


Thanks for visiting

Chris
