The Finished Christening Card

Here's the finished Christening Card. I thought it ought to have something religious on the front, so I used a metal cross charm. Everyone loved it and were amazed at how it was put together. Thanks Lou for sharing this masterpiece with us.

Bit Late, But Here's Monday

I went to an appointment to see if I could get JobSeeker's allowance. Looks like I can which will be great. A job would be better, but this will help in the mean time.

While I was out, I got Lucy's present for Sunday. I changed my mind about the locket. I realised that one suitable for her at her young age would be too small and so the photos would have to be tiny. Decided to get her a gold cross instead. The picture doesn't do it justice as it's much nicer IRL. The sides are beveled which gives it a lovely shape. I hope she likes it.

Went shopping for a couple of craft items afterwards. I managed to get some Christian metal charms, so I'm going to put one on the front of Lucy's card. Will upload a new piccie when it's done. Also, I found some nice Christmas metal charms which I couldn't resist. I'm sure they'll come in handy. Who needs an excuse to buy stash?

Christening Card

Hi everyone,

Just a quickie for now, will be back later with more.

I have made the card for my soon-to-be Goddaughter's christening. Thought I'd give you guys/gals a look. I did say that the curvy Christmas card wouldn't be the last one I did, didn't I?

The striped paper and embellishment's are downloaded from scrapgirls and I can't remember where the purple paper's from. The embellishment's are stuck onto chipboard and I've added ribbon through the slits. The lettering is printed onto vellum and stuck using my trusty Xyron 150.

Pressie Time

I've been racking my brain over the last 2 days wondering what to get for the little girl who's asked me to be her Godmother and I think I've come up with a plan. Notice the 'think'? I'm going to make her a girlie exploding box and buy a locket to put inside it. Have seen the one I want to get her, so I'm off shopping next week. I just need to find Christian quotes/bible verses (call to mum and sis needed I think) as well as backing papers and pictures to put inside the box. I want it to be an almost completed present, not one she has for putting loads of pictures in as I gave her a scrapbook kit for her birthday 2 months ago. I will leave a couple of sides blank for her to add pictures of the day though. Will I ever tire of making these boxes? No, but I may run out of reasons for sending them.

Love to all xxx
