Thank you for all your congratulations for Baby Duncan. He is doing really well, and now the weather is starting to improve we are getting out and about for walks.
I am busy making Thank you cards at the mo, and have been racking my brain for days on what kind of design to go for. I visited a craft warehouse that is tucked away in an industrial estate in Stirling for some inspiration this week, and came away with a few buys, and a few ideas.
I found this lovely paper with stars, and an alphabet zoo paper too, which are both fun, and baby boyish without being to 'twee'.
I also bought some stamps, including the alphabet, which is in the first pic, and a wee baby pea pod, which is very cute,and I just had to have, even though I have no use for it in my card design..but have stamped the back of each card with it just for some added cute-ness!
So after much cutting and sticking, I have created my card design...just got lots to make now..but its very therapeutic. It is so lovely to get back making stuff again between feeds sleeps and nappies!! So hopefully I'll get into Glasgow to my plate suppliers, and get painting my plates again soon!
You can't beat a personal, handmade card - made from the heart and a keepsake for the recipient. Of course I am biased! Glad you are managing some creative time. Great pic of the growing boy.x
