Friends

Well back after a wonderful 2 weeks celebrating our Silver Wedding in Lake Garda - Italy. Can't believe I've been married to a wonderful man for 25 years.
After having a long look around blog land I decided to start off with a House Mouse card. I already had the decoupage cut out so thought it was about time I used it.

I just love the Gruffies and this pair remind me of all the wonderful Italian ice creams I have just indulged in lol! Over at the House Mouse blog their challenge this week is friends so this just fits the bill so well. All the backing papers are from my stash - love the script friends one. I added some gorgeous pale pink lace, and the flowers are from Hobby House. I added a couple of skeleton leaves which I found whilst routing through my craft drawers! I finished with the sentiment and some diamanté for a bit of bling.
I would like to enter this in the following challenges -
