Chocolate and Dreams

Evening bloggers and blog readers.  Welcome and I hope you are having a wonderful weekend.  It's been a lovely sunny day so gardening was on the agenda.  Organised the greenhouse, potted up a few things, planted some seeds, cursed the mouse.  Yesterday I had 8 cucamelon seedlings.  Today I had 4.   No fair, leave my plants alone.  I know spring is late and there is a lack of greenery but my seedlings are strictly off the menu.    Ah well, one of the joys of gardening. 

I have been working on a project that has come together as a result of a number of challenges and quite pleased with the result I am, I am.  Ett Trykk have a jubilee celebration going on and are looking back at things that were in fashion back then.  When I was young.  OK, younger.  They were looking for a photo stamp.  Cheery Lynn are feeling Pretty in Purple and Stampotique wanted Birthdays.  Isn't it lovely when it all comes together like that?  Happy dance.....

I have used Little People Collage stamp from Cornish Heritage Farms and stamped with DI Dusty Concord.  I used Cheery Lynn Spring Flower Burst Doily and cut it out twice from purple glitter card.  I mounted one behind my image and then used the angel wing to fancy cut some chocolate handmade paper to back it and the main image.  The second doily I cut the middle out and also mounted it on the chocolate paper.  The patterned backing is My Minds Eye Parlor Print card.  I added two strips of purple ribbon and then backed with the brown handmade paper again.  The clock is from Kort og Godt and the Happy Birthday is a preprinted diecut.
