Baby Face

Hi! My Aunt called me at the weekend and asked if I'd make a special card for her friend who has just been blessed with her first great grandchild.  I rustled one up last night and took it to her today.  We had lunch then, as it's been such a miserable day, decided to have a clear out of her craft things ... you know what's coming ... I came home with a heap of things!  It's so foggy here tonight I can hardly see to the other side of the street so let's hope that it's going to be better tomorrow.  At least we didn't have the snow that was forecast for today.

Father's Day

I've had a lovely day today.  My friends and I went to the Corn Exchange in Edinburgh to the Artstamps Scotland Fair.  Needless to say there was much talking, laughing and spending!  Since getting home I've been making Father's Day cards as I've got a stall at Kinross Primary School fete on Saturday.  I'm looking forward to that as we lived in Kinross (many moons ago!) and our son and daughter went to school there.  Here are some of the cards I've made.

Oooooops, I got a very nice ticking off from Mandi at Less is More - and rightly so!  I wish I'd read what's on the page and not what I think it should be then I'd get things correct!  The challenge was not only to use a Sentiment but also it was to be One Layer only.  When I read the comment I popped back to the craft room and did a card that goes by the rules!
