Dickens on Centre, Fernandina Beach, Fl. 2018

December 7th, 2018

We had an enjoyable day at Dickens on Centre in Fernandina Beach, Florida, back in 2017, so my hubby Sandy and I went back for more this year. Again the town was transformed into the classic English village of the 1840s. This year instead of my lovely cranberry jacket, I was dressed for two days as a fine Victorian lady!

Yes, that's me wearing my lovely cranberry jacket in front of St. Peters Episcopal Church.

Before changing into my evening dress, Sandy and I took a walk around town. We found or selves at St. Peters Episcopal Church on 8th Street. They were setting p for an evening of music. Later we returned to take pictures with the many re-enactors.

 In the evening while walking around this quaint English village, we met many friendly characters out for a good time.

Sandy and I wish you a wonderful holiday on December 8th, before returning home.

Best Buddies Memory Dex Card

Crafting from the Heart is currently sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps. I chose Brats Best Friends for my Design Team inspirational card.

These cute little girls were colored using Prismacolor Pencils and cut them out. I used the Heidi Swapp Memory Dex dies to cut the card in my Cuttlebug Machine twice: once for the background and another for the sky. I used unbranded dies for the rainbow colors (adhered on sticky paper) and the sun. I assembled and glued the various pieces and glued the girls on top.

I am giving this card to my best friend on my birthday.

I hope you plan to participate in the challenge at Crafting from the Heart, where anything goes.
