Morning fellow crafters ,
Wasn't the pomp and pageantry spectacular yesterday , a lovely day for the bride and groom . What topped the day of for us was when the Battle of Britain memorial Flight flew in the skies above our little bungalow on there way back to RAF Conningsby , such a lovely roar of the Merlin engines and that unmistakable silhouette on the horizon , it only took them 15 mins to get here from London ....... a bit slower than the jets which passed 5 mins earlier !!
...... So the morning after the Royal wedding and over at Creative Craft world the Saturday sketch is up and the theme is Weddings .
I decided to scrap this photo because I like the different angle of the photo which was taken by a family member when the official photographer was busy snapping away .
The bride and groom are my sister in law and hubbie and our little girlie was a bridesmaid for the first time at their wedding and is in the foreground of this picture , needless to say it was an enjoyable day .
Here are a couple of close ups
This is my last page as Guest Design team member and it's been great joining them each Saturday at sketch launch , thank you Lou and team :)
Thanks for stopping by X
Good Morning everyone ,
This weeks scrap map sketch at Creative Craft World is the theme of red ,white and blue as it's St Georges day and in honour of the forthcoming marriage of William and Kate .
My page jumps back to 1978 and the Queens Silver Jubilee street party in our little cul-de-sac .
I was only five and the pictures show me in the fancy dress competition as the Queen of Hearts complete with my plate of real homemade jam tarts . As was many of my clothes from this era , the costume was all handmade by my mum and she still has many of them today which my two have enjoyed dressing up in over the years as well . I'm pretty sure I won first place , with a costume like that on the Queens Jubilee I suppose it was inevitable really :)
I decided to give the whole LO a distressed vintage look including the hand cut pieces of the patchwork Union Jack , and I added some scruffy sewing too ..... a lot easier than neat sewing !
The bunting is Maya Road chipboard with sticky back canvas layered on top which has been stamped and coloured with chalk ink .
Hop over to the CCW blog to see the sketch and join us in the run up to the big day on Friday .
Thanks for looking and hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend in these barmy temperatures X
