Christening Card

Hi there everyone hope you are all well and enjoying the lovely sunshine, a bit chilly but it's nice to see some sun.  This card I made for my great-nephews Christening Day yesterday. The lovely cute image is from Di's Digi Downloads Christening Boy ~ coloured with Promarkers and Prismas.  The sentiment I did on the PC, a nice quick and simple card, I hope they liked it.

Had a worrying couple of days as my 13th month granddaughter Evie is really poorly with gastro-enteritis. She started with it on Saturday afternoon, poor little mite can't keep anything down.  Yesterday she was so sick we had to take her to Primary Care, they just said to give her plenty of fuids and try to keep the temperature down.  Today she was no better so she was taken to A&E, we were worried that she may be dehydrated, thankfully not the case. They checked her over really thoroughly and sent her home, hopefully she will be her happy little self very soon, she loves her food so when she starts to eat again we will know she is feeling better!  Kids eh, they don't half cause some scares and grey hairs!!

I am entering this card in the Everybody Art Challenge which this week is 'Baby'.
Thank you for looking, see you all again soon!!

Baby Boy Christening Card

..

This is a card made for a friend's grandson's christening day.

The request was for a fairly simple card and I thought this image was perfect for the occasion. Its a Nellie Snellen stamp called 'Koetie' coloured with Promarkers, the papers are from my stash, sentiment done on PC and flower made using medium and small retro punches.

Isn't this weather weird? Never seen such heavy rain, the guttering is cracked at the front of the house and the garden is flooded, all my poor plants are drowned! Have you noticed that whenever a hosepipe ban is introduced the rain arrives? The forecast for the weekend is supposed to drier and warmer, let's hope so!

Have a nice weekend and thanks for looking!

(ps, what do you think of my new look blog??)

Today the 2 youngest of my grandchildren were baptised, we had a lovely day despite it pouring down with rain first thing this morning. The rain cleared up just in time for us as we were going into church, it was a lovely service and nice to see friends and relatives we don't see often enough.

The image on the pink easel card for Evie is of course from the fabulous Mo Manning coloured with Promarkers. The lace and papers are from my stash and flowers are Wild Orchid. Everything was going really well with this card until it came to an envelope for it! Numpty I am, I completely forgot about the depth of the flowers, so I had to quickly scramble together a box to fit the card in!!

I love making girly cards, especially baby ones, lace, pearls, ribbon, sparkly bits etc... but boy's cards I really do struggle with. As Sam is seven now I wanted to create something quite plain and simple and 'un-girly'!! I thought this image of Edwin was ideal and have to thank my good friend Andrea for this one.

Well where has the lovely hot weather disappeared to?? Typical British weather eh, freezing one week, boiling the next!! Ah well!!

Thanks for looking !!

Willow Christening Card

This card was made for a colleague at work, it was a bit last minute as she asked me to make the card on Thursday for the the following Sunday! Luckily I had the front of the card already made so all I had to do was decorate and personalise the inside and make a box. Because of the flowers on the front being so raised it wouldnt fit into an ordinary envelope but I am pleased with the end result, I think it makes it more of a keepsake.

AJ's Christening Card

My great-nephew Aiden Jack (AJ) was christened today, we had a lovely day and he was as good as gold throughout the ceremony, although he wasn't impressed when the vicar poured water on his head! He didn't cry though bless him.

This is the card I made for his christening and of course I just had to use one of my new Whiff of Joy Womens Delight stamps!

I intended to move the teddy charm to one side before I took the photo as its obscuring the sentiment but I was in such a hurry to photo it before I took the card with me this morning!

Christening Cards

This is one of 22 invites made for a friend's baby girls Christening. I made 3 samples for her to choose from and this is the one she liked best.
