Think I have caught Ewan's Hypo Bug

This week-end my grandson has been on a hyper high for some reason or other unlike his poor sister who was really offish on Sat but was a bit better Sun, and here are a couple of reasons why I think I caught his bug.

Laura's Baby Card

This is for my Daughter Laura's baby that is due in a few weeks time I am so excited just as I was Grace & Ewan (can you guess what we're having).

This an 8x8 card layered with a pale blue card I then added a pearlised paper from Craftwork Cards, flowers from Wild Orchid, a rub-on backed with a slightly deeper blue which also backed the pram digi stamp (sorry don't know the owner) & flower at the bottom of the card which was done with Marianne Creatable finished off with a charm.

Party Card

This is another card from the Katy Sue & Mike Payne Party Buffs CD there are 3 in this set for stepper cards all really mannish all you have to provide is the glue & card.

Recycle

Look at this little treasure I found in a bin at church isn't it great now the only thing is deciding what to do with it ................ ant ideas?

Just a little note to keep in touch with everyone and to say I have not got a card as yet to share with you all, "I have done my shoulder in" as they say the Dr says it's frozen which is a bit ironic seeing as everything else is thawing out haha but it has been a right pain if you'll pardon the pun. so I will be back soon with something to share but before I go has anyone been to One Stop Craft Craft to check it out it's a card for a child & it's lovely hostess this week is Chrissie, the Sponsors are Robyn's Fetish. Hope you all have a good week-end.
