Fully Recovered - Thank Goodness!



Yay, I am feeling so much better! No more indian for me, ever! As much as I loved it I don't think I could ever face it again.

On to much more pleasant things..... it is Angus's Christening this weekend, lots of friends are coming up for it. Which is the reason we didn't have a big 1st birthday party for him. I have been baking and cleaning and tidying outside the last couple of days.

I made this card last night, you know when you have a picture in your head of how you want your card to look, well I actually succeded with this, it uses Nicola's sketch, she is so fabulous and has the most awesome sketches on her blog.

My card also uses the retired "seaside sketches" stamp set, baroque border wheel, SU's new in colours groovy guava and sky blue textured cardstock, blender pens, watercolour paper, stazon and silver cord. The little charm came from my scrapbooking stash.
