Love hearts

 The APR challenge this week is especially for valentines day, This little heart is very special. I made it ,and around 60 others like it as wedding invitations for my daughters wedding last october. I had to make it simple as I had so many to do,so I used skeleton leaves and torn mulberry paper, I still look at it and smile remembering such a special day. She works in a chocolate museum called York's chocolate story which is a fabulous chocaholic adventure. Visitors learn the history of chocolate making, watch chocolates being made, and taste the final result...YUmmy !!! There is even a chocolate cafe selling all things chocolate.. not sure how she drags herself in to work each day :)

    Your wedding invitations are so beautiful and I love the drawing you did. She has such a lovely face. How lucky is your daughter, working with chocolate. That would be my dream job!!
    Enjoy your trip.

    Two sweet images. What patience (and love) you have to make 60 lovely invitations, so original, and such a valued memento for you, your daughter and the guests.
    Once again an original take on the challenge.
    Enjoy your Italian trip, and hopefully some sunshine.

    See? I do check your blog! ;) I can never thank you enough for putting all that effort in - they make me smile too, I kept the spares in a little trinket box of special things so I have some to keep. In my defense, I do not eat chocolate everyday.Except when I'm knee-deep in budgets ;) xx

    Lovely work! I am so happy to meet you and I just love my postcard. It is really lovely. I love the way you used type to construct the cat.

    Thank you again and I look forward to following your blog and many more meetings!

    Beautiful post, Morag! The wedding invitation is lovely as is your sketch. I think that working at a chocolate factory would be a very tough, torturous job....all that chocolate in front of you and 'no touch/eat'. lol

    Have a great time in Florence! xx
