LIM week 65

It has been a busy old week. 3 seasons in one day, this morning it was sunny and 18c, lunch time it clouded over and just now we had a hail storm with 1-2cm stones!
this card is for my nephew Ollie's 3rd birthday.  I used the SU cupcake punch with craftworks card blank and scraps from my stash.  If you look really carefully you will see a tiny shrink plastic charm with a SU punch pals (I think?) stamped with stazon and shrunk.  I did this last week for LIM 'charms' but didn't manage to get the card uploaded in time so i used it one this one.

This is Stumpy 'helping' me to tidy up my desk........

Less is More week 38 #3

I love looking at the blogs of the other Limettes, often I look but don't comment as I often find typing very painfull (I have 'mouse' shoulder and elbow!) so I look on the i-pad... , try and visit a few new peeps each week.

This card is for my 'baby' daugher Lydia who is soon to be 17.. when she was tiny (she is still tiny actually thanks to the coeliac) she loved a purple velvet dress from Next that she got for her 2nd birthday.  No matter what I dressed her in, every morning she hid those clothes and came downstairs dressed in the little purple dress, purple tights, purple shoes.  Over the years she had many purple velvet dresses, tops, trousers, t-shirts. I found  the original dress the other day whilst sorting out my 'treasure box' in the attic Ahhh.

When she got to 11 she changed to khaki & black clothes but she still has a purple bedroom!

Enough of the trip down memory lane..

It is our 5th Wedding Anniversary today so I thought I would share with you my favourite pics of the bid day, we are outside the town hall in Toulouse where we got married in the Salle des Illustres, a most beautiful room where all the marriages take place if you live in the area. (we actually rented a flat in the catchment area for that reason!)
