Some of my cards

So much for decisions. OK I made one, I decided this morning I DO want to know the sex of Boygi. Boo thought there's no way I'd be able to keep it from him so he agreed to find out too. After half an hour trying to find a parking space we finally got there and waited another 50 minutes to be seen. Everything's fine except she couldnt see the stomach as it wasn't full so I get to go back for another scan next week yay! She checked the sex 4 times so now we know :P

Decisions decisions.....

Why does pregnancy brain completely destroy any ability to make a decision or is that decisions, I can't decide.....!

What is for tea? Like I'm supposed to know?! Or the biggie, do I want to know the sex of Boygi? Yes...no...yes...no.... OK I'm asking her to write it down so I can look when I've made a decision...... or not. See I made a decision!

Took Eefie for his 7-9 month development check today, ok he's nearly 1. He's going to be tall, yay he didn't get my height, or lack of it. He's 91st percentile for height, nearly 98th for weight and 75th for head. Rugby is calling him....

Its pancake day today, Boo wanted cheese and golden syrup, errrr ok, who's the pregnant one here? Weirdo!

Haven't made anyfink today although I did pick up a set of tapestry stamps I ordered from my LCS in like early december. I know I had some ideas for them at the time but I cant remember now.... No doubt I'll find a use, they're cute little things :)

My poor little Bubbo has got a cold, bless! He's got candlesticks and really struggling at night despite heavy doses of kiddies olbas oil. He's still loving as ever though and plants big kisses on you - ewwww! He's got his 7-9 month development check tomorrow, ummm he was 11 months a week ago!

On Wednesday I've got my 20 week scan with Boygi. I've now decided I want to know the sex even if Boo doesn't. I think it will help bonding and sorting things out beforehand. I also found out some info from the hospital, they're offering 4d scans now at better prices than most private places so think I'll be booking in in about 6 weeks or so.

I'm convinced its another boy, Boo thinks girl so we'll have to wait and see!

Anyhow craft wise I've not done too much in the past few days. Made this card for Kathy D's birthday.

I haven't made a vintage card for AGES so really enjoyed this one. The image is stamped with one of the adirondack 4 colour pads so it runs from cranberry to bottle then I've stipled around the image again in adirondack before edging (stipling again) with krylon copper so its got a nice metallic finish. The ribbon was actually from the ends of a cracker, a gorgeous burgundy colour organza.

Circle Oriental

We're back from Puddleducks, Eefie really enjoys the water so we'll start going to other swimming classes too in a couple of weeks. Its absolutely blowing a gale and hailstones. Where is the snow!!!! We havent had any yet *pout*

Anyway thought I'd show a card I made recently. This one is for the Orient Express exchange on the yahoo group. I've seen these circle cards being sold and just think "why???" use a compass and a pair of scissors! I've also been making keyrings from stampbord so the lady I made this card for got a bonus matching keyring as I wanted to practice.

I started with a plain white circle of white card then sponged on Dee Gruenigs Shades of orange ink then heat set it to stop the embossing powder sticking. Next I've stamped on the oriental girl using versamark and moonglow embossing powder in midnight copper. The stamp is from a plate by Simple expressions called the orient available from Katy's Corner Next I've stamped the willow or whatever it is in versamark and embossed with moonglow midnight emerald EP then I've stipled krylon gold around the edge. The flower in her hair is a peel off with a crystal in the centre. The card background is some oriental backing paper I got ages ago in my LCS and I've tied red raffia on it. Also edged the card with krylon.
