A Vintage Card with some tealights

Gosh it's been ages since I've blogged anything or even commented on friends blogs - what with the house and garden, work, and then we did Go Ape last week in Derbyshire time just seems to have flown by.

This card I made at the weekend - its one of those cards I've been meaning to do for a while now but hey!






And here is the card opened



The ribbon keeps the little 4 tealights inside just nicely but you can't see them which is a shame  - what I might do is change the template a little and make little tabs at each end so I don't need to use ribbon and then you can see whats inside. 

I mentioned earlier about Go Ape - well here's just a couple of photies - it was great fun even though I'm not good with heights.


Here's Steve gracefully crash landing from the zip line!!!  (still he always manages to smile for the camera)!!!!


Here's Viki trying to fathom out how to come unhooked from the rope


And heres me in the distance on the zip line - thankfully you can't hear me screaming or see the landing - straight on my butt and covered in woodchip!!!



 
Well's thats it for now TTFN xx

  2. lol love Steve's ability to smile at all costs for your camera, I am sure this will turn up on a layout in the not to distant future, I thought I heard you screaming (you must have screamed loud) especially when you landed on your rear.

    Love the card and the tea light storage, this will make some one a very special card

    Hugs and cya soon
