Melted Chocolate & Cappuchino...

...mmm, nomnom-nommety-nom! Sounds like an edible treat doesn't it? Actually, it's the name of the two colours I plucked from the Drawer of Sprays last night when I fancied myself a little play in the Room of Stash. The Melted Chocolate is a gorgeous lush Dylusions Spray and the Cappuchino is a Perfect Pearl Mist. Together? LOVE the effect!




So, I had a little faff with some of those gorgeous Prima papers that I am lurving at the moment. I layered some onto a tag and did some distressing of the edges and edged them with Gathered Twigs DI so they looked nice a scruffy. I used the Melted Chocolate to spray lightly up the tag so the concentration of colour is bottom right hand corner. This was all part of the plan because I had made a big old flower using Prima's and paper roses along with a metal embellie or two and I knew I was going to be spritzing these... so the colour kind of gave some balance to the design. I added some snips of organza and lace, an Adage Ticket, some Idea-ology, a few dangly pearls and a brass dragonfly for the finishing touches.


Today is a very special day indeedily! Oh yesh, it is 13 years today since I uttered the words "'Scuse me, are you Graham?" I was starting my training to be a Train Driver and had been assigned to an experienced Driver, namely, one Graham Sheridan, to shadow him and his shifts for the next 10 weeks. Well, you should have seen the look he gave me when I asked him if he was, indeed, the Driver I needed to find. *this is after asking about 27 other blokes if they were Graham... imagine how nerve wracking that was!* Anyways, the look he gave me *dog look*... and then "yes, who are you?" Poor bloke had been told he had been assigned a trainee - they had just neglected to tell him a) my name and b) that I was starting that day. Thankfully he soon got over the initial "yikes, it is a woman, and a mad one at that" and he really was the best trainer and mentor I could have wished for. And who would have thought that all those years ago we would eventually end up married! Poor bloke got more than he expected that day... hahahaaaaa




Hopefully it will be a nice sunny day today - we are meeting up with some friends (hello Richard and Mary) for a day out, a *whispers so the weather doesn't hear* BBQ and they have the most adorable Springer called Jerry who is going to have little paws run off playing with me! So, I shall away for my beauty sleep (snort... I know, who am I kidding right?) Hope you all have a splendid Saturday. Don't forget to hop back here tomorrow because I have a very special Sunday Stamper challenge... oh yesh, the Sunday Stamper is being sponsored tomorrow and there will be a prize! More about that tomorrow though... I am still sitting here waffling when I should be brushing my teeth and getting into bed! Thanks for looking... TTFN!
