Here's one I made using an adorable little pirate stamp by Nellie Snellen. The ribbon tags were done with a Nellie punch, and the letters are little alpha stickers from her. All these are available from Scrappy-go-Lucky - I certainly haven't been able to find the teensy alphas here in the UK, mores the pity. I love these clip punches that she does, and will be using them a lot. The papers are old ones from a DCWV stack
Coloured with Promarkers...
Skin: blush and soft peach
blues: pastel blue, denim blue and cornflower
browns: sandstone, caramel, tan
Not a lot of time to sit and absorb the funny side of life at the moment - it's hard to do that when you are sitting in a doctors surgery for the seventh time in a week. However, I was cheered to read a horoscope while we were waiting. Mine said
'This past week has been very stressful, next week, the moon is in alignment with Mars and your stress will lessen. Soon you will be wondering what you were stressed about........'
Phew. What a relief, I felt instantly much much better, quite perky in fact (although I only believe horoscopes when they say something nice...). Then I saw the date on the magazine. February 2010. Oh dear. Gin and tonic anyone?
Oh Enfys not sure why you are at the doctors but I am hoping everything is fine:( Haven't been over here much with all the work going on at home but its finally finished:) Love your gorgeous card and the little letter tags are brilliant. Big hugs

ReplyDeleteYou keep us all laughing in the isles so to speak!! Did you get the gin and tonic for stress? Ha!. Love the boy card. Soooooooo cute.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness this is soooo cute. Love the way you did the sentiment. Glad to read Mike is feeling better. I am the same about horoscopes. Only the good ones even if they are very old. I hope the gin worked. For me it would have to be an Old Fashion.
ReplyDeleteAwww, Enfys, I hope everything starts to turn around for the best! You have the right attitude to get you through it. And my goodness, this card couldn't be any more adorable! Love the color scheme!
ReplyDeleteI love today's card, it's very cute! Sorry to hear you are back to the doctor again. Will keep you and your husband in my prayers.
