A Change From Christmas Cards

Evening!

A bit of a change from Christmas cards today (which is what I really should be doing, time is marching at an alarming pace!)

My friend's daughters were both baptised on Sunday. It was a lovely service and a lovely day which I'm very pleased to have been part of.

I thought long and hard about what to do for the girls - Eve is 9 and Lucy is 6 so baby cards were not appropriate and I couldn't really find images that I thought suited the occasion so I ended up printing their names and going WOW. I think it works.

Morning all, it's Saturday and that means it's time for a new challenge at Sweet Stampin'. 

This week our theme is

Use Red for Remembrance or Use Some Poppies 

Our sponsor this week are Crafty Ribbons.

It's another Team Abi week that I've joined in with, simply because I was inspired to make this card when I was sorting through my Sugar Nellie stamps and I found this wee stamp! So I've added some poppies and a remembrance card. I've used the famous verse from Laurence Binyon's poem "For The Fallen" and kept the card very simple.
