3 sketches, a few challenges

Gosh it has been a warm weekend!!!! We went to a fabulous wedding yesterday, held in an apple orchard, it was gorgeous, but very hot. Today the girls have been playing with the slide and in the paddling pools, one of which the slide was put in!!!

I have got some creations to show you ... I am trying to find my mojo and get back into crafting and doing challenges, but it is a slow process.
I combined
Friday Sketcher - sketch
Simon Says Stamp - tent card + charms,
Stampin for the Weekend - card to cheer someone up (post pals - this card is going to Alice P as she lives close to where my parents do)
Totally Gorguss - bling it on
Charisma Cardz - 3D
Tilda is watercoloured and cout out. The paperes are MME Bella Bella, flowers by Prima, charm, stickles, sparkly adhesive drops and ribbon from stash.

By the way this card is going to a little girl in Cumbria who has a terminal illness. Every month I make a card and send it to a Post Pals child, it really makes their day ... .if you have time do join in the Stampin for the weekend Challenge and send a card to a Post Pals child ... I am so grateful I have two healthy and thriving children. Post Pals is my way of supporting those parents who are not so lucky.

This card combines the following challenges:
Just Magnolia - sketch
Totally gorguss - bling it on
Allsorts - tag/label
Tilda is watercoloured, the papers are MME Bella Bella again (well my pad was out!!). The tag was cut using my sizzix die, and the ribbon, gem and stickles is stash.

This card combines -
Sketch Saturday - sketch
Totally papercrafts - colour/photo inspiration
Wags n Whiskers - good friends
This images is a RAK from Samantha, and coloured using distress inks, The papers are DCWV Nursery stack, raffia and ribbon from stash and sentiment by Penny Black.

Here are some pics of the Wedding:
The bride and groom:
Ellie and Beth and Lisa (the bride)
And the water slide!!

Sorry its a bit short and sweet - loads of ironing, cleaning an tidying to do :(
