Anniversary Card

Hello friends..........I am sorry for my absence over the last few weeks but I have been on holiday in Italy, which was stunning, if a little hot !!! (over 35 degrees) I hope you are all well and, if you live in the UK, that you are enjoying the sunshine. Can I also welcome my newest followers, its so kind of you to join me here at CNCT.

Just a little  6 by 6 kraft card to share with you, using Tim Holtz Wallpaper Stash Pad and some of Tim's stamps, Idea-ology, Distress and Archival Inks as well as Eclectic Elements fabric remnants.

As always thank you so much for dropping in and leaving a kind comment. Its my plan to catch up with many of you later this afternoon/evening.

Can I also share with you that after more than two years blogging/emailing/phone calls and gifts, my mum
( Rita of RMG Creations and Redanne of bollyanne blogspot) finally met up with one another.  Having met with Anne last November I knew how keen she was to meet mum, so it was quite an emotional get together and they got on like a house on fire. I also shared a few hours with Anne and her husband and it was wonderful to catch up.

    A wonderful card and I so like the touches such as the fabric.
    How amazing that Rita and Anne met, finally. A special time for them both to create warm memories in their time together and lovely that you also had the chance to spend time during Anne's visit.
    Wishes

I was so happy to finally meet up with your lovely Mum, we had such a wondertul time together, but we need more time next time. So pleased that we got the chance to meet up with you too, it was a lovely evening and a beautiful meal. Thank you again to you and Rita for making our stay very special indeed. Big hugs, Anne xx

  18. Your anniversary card is stunning, Annie!! I saw your mum's write-up and photos about Annie (as I call her) and David's visit and it brought a tear of joy to my eyes! This is a wonderful crafting community covering the whole globe and it's so heartwarming when bloggie friends get to meet IRL!! Hugs, Darnell
