I was also asked to make 3 unisex baby cards by one of the other mums at school, well I went one better than that for her, I decided to make 3 baby boy and 3 baby girl cards for her, and she can give me back the ones she doesn't use. I have made little differences to each of the 6 cards so that they are all unique...
Yesterday was the 40th birthday of my friend Mar, so I can't share her card with you yet until I hear she has definitely received it. But I know she received the lilies and 40th birthday balloon I sent her. Now I do know that white lilies are considered to be funeral flowers, but they are also Mar's favourites. So I ordered the flowers, with a vase on Interflora but it was made very clear that they were for a birthday - there is a section where you have to state what occasion the flowers are for, my card said "Happy 40th Birthday", the balloon had "40th birthday" and yet the florist still saw fit to tie a "thinking of you" ribbon around the flowers!! am pretty miffed about it.
Anyway, what else have I been up to?? well I'll share some more tomorrow as I'm probably not going to get much peace for the next week - it's half term this weekend and then the kids have 2 in-service days, so they're not back at school again until next Thursday. It wouldn't have been so bad, as Graham should've been home, but right on cue he was asked to do an extra week offshore so he left this morning - can't really turn our noses up at an extra week of offshore money, but it means my poor mum has been roped into babysitting on Saturday while I do 2 classes at the Papeterie on Saturday.
See you tomorrow...

Such adorable cards and great coloring tfs!
Lovely baby cards Debbi I have this image as well it is so cute, in fact i don't think there is a LOTV image that I don't like. That heart punch just makes all the difference to the cards lovely colouring in of course.. look forward to getting our demo just waiting to hear back from everyone as to which date is best suited. Been in touch soon. Audx

these are lovely cards bet she hangs onto the ones she doesnt use Wish I was close enough to come along to one of your classes
Had a fab time on Monday night Debs. Your demos were great. Have had a little play with your tips on colours though I think I need a bit more practice. Thanks for coming out to Ellon to see us all. xx
What adorable cards! I love the embossed papers and that rosette. It's awesome!
Yikes, that florist made a mistake. But at least you'll have something to laugh about in a couple of years. ;)
Think you should mention to the florist your end about the ribbon being ainappropriate. they should refund you something! Anyhow love the butterflies on the baby cards & those rosette flowers are absolutely brilliant. Take care of yourself midst the busyness.

Cute image. Lovely cards. I'm hoping to get some practice in with the promarkers tomorrow.
