Baby Makes Three

Evening peeps

I have had a headache for the past week and today it decided to move to the other side of my head, which normally means it gets worse, so tonight I have sat quietly relaxing to try and get rid of it.  Of course, I can't sit without doing some crafting, so I have made a very simple 1 layer baby card.


The digital stamp is called Babyboy s from Mo's Digital Pencil and it has been coloured using Copics and ProMarkers.


Other materials used are:

White card stock
Presscut Square nesting die set used at a stencil
Signature Collection Baby Accessories die set
Memento Summer Sky ink pad
Blue pearls

Afternoon peeps

Well that was a nightmare first day back at work.  The Rotis counters had broken down yesterday, so I couldn't cook any chickens today and there were no pizza toppings this morning, so the pizza counter stayed empty for most of the day.  Not quite sure what's been going on while I have been off.


Anyway, enough about my work problems.  I have made a card this afternoon using a digital stamp from Sherri Baldy which has been coloured using Copics and ProMarkers.


Other materials used are:

White card stock
Red card stock

Cinderella

Evening peeps

I only have two days of my holiday left and I haven't really done anything, so I decided to last least go for the day.   I'm not much of a shopper, but there isn't much else to do around this area, so it was a trip to Bluewater shopping centre.  It is half way between myself and where my son lives, so he came to meet me as well.  Tomorrow will now be about finishing off a couple bits and getting ready for work on Sunday.


Anyway, because I didn't get in until late, I have made a really quick card tonight.  The digital stamp is called Cinderella from Bugaboo and it has been coloured using Copics and ProMarkers.
