...........I think i've felt really well ! I cannot believe how long it is since last I posted any thing on my rambling blog........ I got really sick at the time of the Farnborough show, caught that horrible gastric bug from my Mum.....[sorry to burden you readers!] and what with one thing and another........I haven't even been into my craft room........[great sadness]..........we've also celebrated my folks 55th Wedding Anniversary, quietly, although Mum doesn't remember a thing - she has Alzheimers, which is very sad. DoH & I had 2 yr old grandson to stay for a week [that brought another bout of illness, not to mention exhaustion! - that's why you have kids when you're young!] followed up with DoH having asthma attack and coughing for England!........our youngest son [he's a twin] hosted the British Schools National Trampolining Competition in Bristol, it was such a fantastic day, lots of kids, lots of medals and fabby trophies............. then followed a bad bout of laryngitis DoH thought that was ok, wife with no voice....... hmmmmmmm......... Anyway's it's been a long 5 weeks.
and so.... at long last....... back to work [or play!] I have a very good friend who is about to have her baby christened, so I've made her a couple of invitations as samples.........I've used a lovely stamp from Elusive Images, and put clear gloss and a diamante spot over the word Babies....... along with one of my favourite Martha Stewart punches...... every workbox needs these!
The Hobby House have these punches - check them out!
The top pic is paper from DCWV 'Nana's Nursery' paper, a sweet pram stamp from Inkadinkadoo, I've decoupaged the
hood of the pram and embossed it! The border punch is another of the Martha Stewart punches... a
deep edger punch.. [love it!!]
and the little hearts come from........ the punched out bits on the 2nd card! Well, waste not want not!
Ok, I'm off now to do something with a new stamp from The Artistic Stamper and some vellum.............
Keep in touch........ be back soon!
