*** woo hoo I won over at A Spoonfull of Sugar***
Hello my lovelies, how has everyone's week been? I can't believe it's been a week since my last post. I did have a couple of free crafting nights but they were a total disaster. All I did was colour images, bin them, choose papers put them back, you get the picture. I eventually came down stairs to the horror of hubby and thought I would do a bit of housework. Hubby new something must be up so told me to sit down, watch tv and made me a cuppa. And that was exactly what I did!!
Really I should be making 3 boy birthday cards but I just wasn't in the mood and nothing came to mind. Instead I decided to make a birthday card for whoever came to mind while browsing through my images.
This Pollycraft (Mary Lou "hello sunshine") image reminded me of a little girl called Emily who comes to my toddler group. Her birthday isn't until July so I'll just have to keep it safe til then.Emily has red hair which I soon realised I had never done before. My images normally have brown hair, don't do blonde not sure why? Maybe something to think about next time!! The sketch shows circles but I have used swirls as they reminded me of her hair. To my amazement I found the perfect papers in my over flowing stash box. New year resolution use stash papers more!!
