Baby shower card

Bad blogger I've been! I've been SO BUSY...I had so many insanely personalised card orders to make this last month that I've been up til 3 am each day making them. I have never advertised my work - I have a facebook page that was intended to share my cards with family and friends but I guess word-of-mouth got rid of that hahaha! On the upside, I'm now a pro at finding the most random images ever in google search and turning them into cards. 

So here's a card I made ages ago that I'm only getting around to blogging now :) 

Ingredients

Image - Mos Digital Pencil Baby Shower

Papers - LOTV Petal Fresh

FWOC flowers

Corner from WOC

Ribbon from stash

First Birthday :)

Evening everyone :)

I got my paper woes sorted, I went to a little art shop in town and they didn't have any a4 black card, but they did have a2 size in the same brand, so I got that :) I still haven't got my glue though, and if the company I ordered from doesn't help me soon, I'm done with them haha! Two and a half weeks is far too long to wait for an order that is capable of getting here in four days. I bought an emergency tube in town to keep me going until I need enough stuff to get past the £40 free shipping limit at the wonderful Glitter Pot store haha, which never really takes long ;)

Anyway enough complaining for one day!

This is another card that I made a little while ago and never got around to blogging :)

Fabulous :D

Evening all :) 

Hope everyone's well. Today has been a good day for me, my cat was missing for a couple of days but she returned today, and has literally been asleep on the sofa all day! So I'm happy and can't stop cuddling her hehe :) 

I love this image, isn't she priceless?! As a grown up who was bullied as a kid for being the four-eyed nerd with braces...I'm COMPLETELY of the opinion now (if only I'd known it then!) that being a spectacle wearer is fun, and a great way to show off your style and personality in a way that non spec wearers can't :) And now that I am grown up, I'm LOVING my specs appeal ;) It's certainly not something to be mocked for, I'm a four-eyed nerd and LOVE IT :D So tell that to all your speccy-wearing daughters (and sons!) who are insecure about their glasses, that it's fun, it's cool and not something to ever be ashamed of :)

Howdy

Evening everyone :)

Hope you're all well...my heart goes out to everyone in Oklahoma, whose lives have been interrupted and torn apart...stay strong...

I made this card yesterday, the image had been sitting on my desk all coloured in waiting to be used for such a long time! For some reason the colour on the photos looks a bit washed out...they're far more vivid in real life. I paper-pieced her necktie too, it's not very obvious from the pics maybe.
