I thought i would give photo candles a go and buy am i addicted. I made alot of valentines cards last year and they have been sat in a box, so i thought why not make a candle to match the cards and create a special gift. I have to say i am really happy with the outcome<br />

I think i must have blinked too quick as i have no idea where the time has gone. Today's project i designed for a guest design spot (which i might add i am thrillled to have been asked and yippee'd for quite a while) at <a href="http://daisydoodlesstamps.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">daisy doodles</a>. When i saw these images i just totally fell in love with them. They so remind me of hubby and me, as we are only tiny too lol....<br />
<br />
These images are half price for the next 2 weeks so grab them while you can, I just know you are going to love them. <br />
<br />
My friend is getting married soon so i thought this would make a nice gift for my boys to give her and different to the usual ones shop bought. <br />

<br />
Today's card is my DT card for <a href="http://scrappersdelightspapercrafts.blogspot.com/2012/03/luck-of-irish-challenge.html" target="_blank">Scrappers Delights Luck of the Irish Challenge</a>. I was thrilled when i saw this image i needed to work with, isn't she gorgous, i have kept todays card basic as i know alot of people can be afraid to use flowers or colouring in, so i opted for the coloured in version i received with the downloads mounted her onto green card, found a backing paper i had on my computer my tonic punch ribbon and a few pears. The sentiment is also Scrappers Delights and you can find it in a bundle <a href="http://scrappersdelights.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=78&products_id=423" target="_blank">here</a>. The image i used was Leprechaun 4 which you can find <a href="http://scrappersdelights.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=78&products_id=419" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
Why not pop over and join in the challenge, there is a freebie of 3 sentiments on the challenge which are fab, hope to see you there soon xxx<br />

I was absolutely thrilled when the postman delivered my parcel, sat and stroked them for a few hours (lol sad i know) then although it was bed time I just couldn't go to bed knowing they were there shouting of me to use them hahaha.<br />
<br />
I remembered the freebie from <a href="http://beccysplace.blogspot.com/2010/09/nell-on-bicycle.html" target="_blank">Beccy's Place nell on a bicycle</a> and thought it would be fab for my mam for mothers day as she has always loved riding her bike. <br />

<br />
There is also a buy one get one free sale at the moment too so why not pop over and have a look, you won't be disappointed.<br />
<br />
I have coloured the truck using Pro Markers, colours can be found at the end of this entry. The papers are Dovecraft Charcoal Prints by French Designer Sandra Ranarison. This is the first time i have used this paper pad but think it will come out more often as fab for men and ladies.<br />
<br />
The orange buttons have been cut using the ellison thin cuts buttons die, i'm finding these are fab for mens cards to just give it that little bit extra.<br />
