Baby boy

Crikey - it's been a whole month since I last posted a card.

I've been busy at work, getting outrageously drunk in London to help my beautiful friend celebrate her 30th birthday, as well all the other boring life stuff that gets in the way of doing more interesting things!

I'm massively behind on my Christmas cards so it's going to be a quick post from me today as the children are napping and my challenge is to start (and finish!) a card over the next hour to get me back on track.

Here's a card I made yesterday - a girl who runs one of the toddler groups we go to is due to start maternity leave next week so I've made her a card to say congratulations / good luck as we probably won't see her again until July!

I'm going to enter this card into the following challenges:

DYSU - A splash of blue
One Stop Craft Challenge - Colour Challenge: Blue
Freshly Brewed - Anything Goes

Thanks for looking!  I can't wait to catch up on all your beautiful blogs soon!

Lovely New Baby

Two of our very good friends have just announced the birth of their new baby boy - called Zac.

Very BIG congratulations to you both!

This is the card I made for them. It's also my first real go with the promarkers Santa gave me for Christmas.
I didn't have quite what I wanted in papers so I made the backing paper with his name on it myself. Not sure if I've pulled it off - perhaps the letters should have been smaller - leave me a comment with your thoughts!


This card is being entered in the following challenges:

Crafty Calendar Challenge - New Beginnings
Easy Craft Projects - Use old stash (all the card, paper and the image are old)
Stamp Something - Anything Goes
Stamping for the weekend - New and Blue
Allsorts Challenge - Teal Blue and Brown
Sundays with Crissy - Ribbons (both on the card and the image!)

Thanks for looking!
