Crafty Pad # 13

oooh I made the Crafty Pad number 13 challenge on Friday 13th !!!!

Anyhooooooooo!

This week it is a sketch challenge.
We want you to use one of Crafty Pad Stamps
and again there is a wee prize on offer!!
go look and see what my fellow DT girlies have done!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have used.....*sigh* ok, I know I have a problem ....
I am slightly over fond of these beautiful stamps...

But yes,

I have used my favourite Butterfly stamps with verse set again.

You see what happened was,
Debbie is going to be giving away free downloadable papers,
and I saw the orange one,
I rememebred I had foudn some orange vellum....
and thought.....
This is perfect for a butterfly!!!


The swirly lines behind the butterfly and text
are also a stamp from the butterfly set.


I did get a bit carried away with doodle lines on this one.

I added soem peel oss stickers of flowers
and teh sentiment is a peel off by Anita I think.
From their wedding peel offs.
I have added it using a piece of acetate
to make a springy thingy.....
Added X-cut vellum punched butterflies to the corners.
The yellow layering card is from Stampin Up.

I hope you come and join us over at crafty pad this week.

Sammi & James

I have had the amazing pleasure of knowing my
best mate Lynne's daughter Sammi
since she was a wee lassie and today....


today, I stood and watched with great pride as she became a wife!

Where did the years go to?

It seems just yesterday she was a sweet young girl
with lopsided bunches in her long hair...
and now she is all grown up!

A wife and fantastic Mummy to Beautiful Brooke & her wee baby bump.

Life has not always been easy for Sammi or Lynne.

We lost Sammi's sister Amy two years ago in a tragic car accident.
Sammi stood in the packed Church
& gave her darling sister the most heart felt emotional & amazing eulogy.
This amazing strong and inspirational young woman stood up spoke
with such love & strength that made us all so very proud!

Just two months later she held her beautiful newborn daughter
Brooke Amy in her arms,
a new mother herself but still supporting her grief struck family !

It has been a privilege to watch you grow up!

I am so lucky to have been part of your childhood!
You are someone I am now so very proud to call a friend.
I will be so sad to say goodbye as you move down to London this week.
Will miss you all very much.

Wishing you & James,
many years or love, luck, happiness & much Joy together!

Love you Sammi..!!!
