Hello everyone! Yes it's me, I'm finally back. I'm pretty sure I don't need to explain my whereabouts over the last 4 or so months, but as it happens to all of us, family life and work life sometimes takes priority over crafting life.
I was wanting to get back at it back in Sept, but I just couldn't get my mojo going no how. This weekend I was able to start my Christmas cards, although I don't have pictures yet, I realized there are some cards I made back in June & July that I have not posted.
Today's card is one I made for a friend who is expecting her 2nd grand daughter, so she needed this early to send over to Australia.
The 'bundle of joy' die set is one I've had for a few years, purchased from AliExpress. I cut out the pieces, then sponged some light pink on the stork and sack. I then added some foam tape to the back of bundle of joy, added some sequins on the bottom layer, adhered the top and voila a shaker card!
Papers are from Echo Papers - Bundle of Joy. All the other supplies - flowers, lace, ribbon and pearls are from my stash.
I've been off since Thursday, enjoying some much need time off from work. I put up my Christmas tree up on Friday, oh it looks so pretty! I'm back to work tomorrow, so I'm going to visit a good friend this morning as we catch up and chat over a cup of java!
I wish you all a wonderful day! Hugs,
Pauline
