Golden Wedding Anniversary card
It's week 75 over at 'Less is More' and it's a colourtheme this week which is................GOLDI have just made a Golden Wedding Anniversary cardfor my neighbour to give to her friends so as it's quite aLIM one I think it qualifies. I tried a few ideas for this card,in the end I decided simple and classy would be the best look. I hope I achieved that, the card was well received I hear so that's the main thing. I used my nesties for the heartsand embossed them with my tiny hearts folder. Then I usedmy scalloped hearts in gold as border. A few punched heartsin gold and a computerized sentiment completes this card.After seeing a pic of Wow embossing powder on Mandi's blogI just had to buy some.....well it was in pink so what choice did I have lol !! I also bought some in green and blue too lol, itlooks fabulous, not used it yet though....will report back soon.I have bought so much craft stuff lately , must stop it !!!...not easy though is it ! Btw. Wow have an offer on their powders if youlook on the 'Less is More' blog, they are also sponsoring them this month too.
ps.Story about flooding follows, sorry it's a bit long! The sun is shining today for a change, I hope it continues.Our eldest son is biking around our coast for three days fromyesterday. He got rained on riding to the train station but been ok after that when he started his ride. Fingers crossed it's ok for the next two days. All this horrid rain and flooding reminded meof my daughter and her husband when they went camping last year.They decided on Wales, she woke up in their tent in the early hours only to find her sleeping bag was kind of floating. She realised how serious that was and sprung into action. She woke her husband andher husbands brother and girlfriend who were also in a tent beside them.She has never moved as fast in all her life she said, ( she does everything at top speed anyway luckily!). They quicklyliterally threw their stuff into their Landrovers beside the tent then they drove to higher ground. There was a river just lower down from their tents. They had checked it when they went to sleep and it wasn't even that full. During the night the river had burst it's banks and the rapidly moving water swept away everything in it's path a few minutes after my daughter had woken up. They could easily have drowned in the torrent of water. They just managed to move their stuiff in time but her husbands brother wasn't as quick and they lost quite a few belongings. They found some of them down the river later on after much searching. It seems the people who rented the field out had warned other campers earlier but as they were out he didn't even bother to leave a note warning them that the river might flood !!!!! It hadn't happened before apparantly but they were worried by it. Lucky escape then.I really feel for all the people who have been flooded out just recentlyand now are at serious risk again. Stay safe everyone.
