We all get them.....


Hi, had such a busy week with the kids being off!! Sure i'm not the only one busy with kids! This next week is going to be even more manic! I'm working 7 days in a row! 1 down 6 togo!!!!
WELL back to the post about my card. I was asked by someone to make this card for a 2 year old that is being Christened later on this month. Most get christened as a baby, so i had to think careful about he design. The other thing that made it a bit more tricky was the fact this little girl has lost her mum, so i was asked to do it with a green colour theme as it was her mums favorite colour!!!
I really hope it lives up to what they where exspecting!!!

I'm going to play along with a couple of challenges

That sweet little girl...I so love this concept of using her name as a poem. They'll certainly have this as a keepsake for when she's grown!
