Scout Named Noah

We had a wonderful evening babysitting Jack and we took him over to see my Mam, he was in his Jimjams all ready for bed but he loves to visit her as not only is he the apple of her eye but he is totally intrigued with Jess her cat. We stayed for about an hour as that was as much as jess could put up with him as she is getting no younger and he has her scurrying from one room to another to hide from him.

I hurried back and got this card made, I think I have said before how much this character reminds me of Jack.

Oh Baby!

We have two babies that will arrive into our family in the next couple of weeks so I thought I’d best get cracking with something pretty. One of which will be Kim and David's, I guess most of you remember the tragic loss of their beautiful baby boy Layton and I know many of you gave so generously when I did the fundraising for meningitis in his memory.

I love Mo Manning's baby images, so beautiful and this one is no exception.

Baby Boy b is from Mo’s Digital Pencil 

Coloured with Copic markers and prisma pencils the swirly embossing is a sizzix embossing folder and as this is an 8 inch card I used the Grande Calibur from Spellbinders to do the embossing. I don’t have a raspberry plate so I used the cutting plate and the B plate for the Cuttlebug.

The gorgeous ribbon is from Ribbon Carousel 

Spring has Nearly Sprung

I’m not sure if it’s the new specs but everything is looking cleaner and fresh since I got them, so todays choice of image is perfect.

Spring Bringer by Wee Stamps, I just love the faces on these wee darlings.

I kept the colours in line with Spring and added pearls glitter (which isn’t showing, but know her wings are sparkling) and used a ribbon from the march collection of Ribbon Carousel and Grande Calibur Borders and foliage from Spellbinders 

I’m struggling with my blood count uh! I’ve had a terrible sand paper rash for about 4 weeks now, it’s all over my chest forehead behind my ears little bit on my nose and over my back, we think (doctor thinks) it may be to do with my bloods. I had both a letter and a telephone call again from the hospital so I have to go back again and I am starting to resemble a very well used pin cushion.

Test Driving

Just in case you were wondering, I'm having a day off……… I’m test driving some new specs and thought it would be better to test drive them without the close work than strain my eyes straight off.

I have some designer specs, this is a first for me, she’s a new gal on the specs block called Karen Millan.

I’ve mastered the focus and reverse, still keep looking in my mirrors until I get used to the drive but on the whole they are feeling good.
