I was asked to do a simple new baby card. I have used just one paper to achieve this. The image has been coloured in copics. I hope you like the simplicity.

As you can see I am toying with which papers to use with my new Kraftin Kimmie image. I am pleased to report that it is still neat and tidy, there are a few pads and scraps to put away nothing major though.

My baby starts nursery tomorrow. He will be going 8.45-11.45, he is so excited, I am sad he is growign up, will post a picture of Henry tomorrow for you.

Hope everyone is ok,

Well I promised you a surprise!

 My desk, totally empty, no paper on the floor - infact it has been vacuumed! The cushion is one I made when I was 7! The chocolate box is empty bt has scrap green (leave coloured) paper in. The dairy cover is still there as due to snow then flu my sister has not visited yet. The note pad has all my challenges and dt committments in. Just tot he right you can see DH's stereo.

 Ok my crafting bookshelf, pretty explains itself i think, DH points out I can now find everything, I point out I have to move stuff to get to stuff now.

The draws (underneath) contain stamps and one draw is xmas stamps and paper, and one is made cards and the other scrap paper. The images are now all in one pile and my papers are all together which only fill half the box compared to it being full last year,need to look out for nice quality and patterned cheap papers.

Yes the room used to be the nursery hence the winnie the pooh stickers still up lol!

I hope everyone is feeling better and getting over the colds, I am still coughing and chesty when I try to exercise and my hot waterbottle of an evening is becoming a habit!

Longtime no card or play

I have not inked up any Sugar Nellies in ages, and have sorted out my craft room (wait till you see it on WOYWW tomorrow) and decided to show some of my old stamps the light of day - well VAT has gone up and so my crafting spending budget has been slashed from the small amount it was to practically nothing!

I do hope you like it.

hugs Vicky
