Ruby Wedding Tag Card

We're getting back to near normal here as DH is home from hospital and feeling good, I'm pleased to report. He'll be monitored for some time but that's a good thing. He was overwhelmed at the number of get well comments left on my blog last week and has asked me to send you all his special thanks for your wishes and support to us.

I must say that I nearly cracked up on Friday, when, in the evening DH checked his bank account only to find that all our funds had been transferred to someone else's far off bank (no it wasn't me on a spending spree whilst he was in hospital)... it was a scam and it seems that DH's card had been cloned somewhere. We cancelled our cards, with great difficulty getting someone at the bank to help, but we are wiped out on the account with over a further couple of thousand pounds overdrawn. It is sooooo scary. The bank will, hopefully, pay back the money but can't do it until tomorrow due to the Bank Holiday. We wait with trepidation...

Just take care out there, but then again, we always take care and it's happened to us 3 times. Twice with Visa who were quicker to react but this is the first time with our current bank account. We do have special protection and keep our cards safe but what more can we do?

Back to crafting and hopefully I'll soon get my mojo back.

I made this card for some special friends as it is their Ruby Wedding next week. I wan't feeling up to doing anything, but had to, in fact wanted to, so I returned to an old favourite... the Flag/Tag book which is so easy to make and I didn't have to think too much.

She loves sewing and they both love gardening so I added a few details to link in with their interests.

I added two CraftyIndividuals little girl stamps for their grandees.

I'm really not mushy but I do love this quote.....

I added pockets for extra tags in the front and back of the card so I can write a personal message on the back and pop in details of their gift.

The swirl is my favourite one from Stampattack

Hope you've had a good time on this Bank Holiday, thanks for stopping by and I hope you've picked up some ideas.

Just thought I'd leave you with a chuckle at a photo I took of these "Nuns" waiting to parade in a carnival and the one on the left is having a quick fag!!! They looked hilarious.
