Introducing Isobel Amber Swire

Well my beautiful little girl is finally here, she arrived at 3.34am on the 12th June weighing 8lb 13.5oz and we've called her Isobel Amber or Izzy for short.After not wanting to come out she made her entrance into the world very quickly, so quickly Daddy missed her arrival.

We are both home and doing well, albeit a little tired!



Hope you all enjoyed craft club and just to show willing I even had a go at making some myself before I went into hospital!



If Wendy doesn't mind planning next month's meeting again, I will bring Izzy to see you all.

 Good Afternoon Ladies & gents,

Sorry it has taken me so long to put this out but I had to get hubbie to help me get onto the blog and get the photos on here. I thought we could take Marie's idea from the last meeting and have a go at this card shape.
 I don't know what it's called, but it kinda closes in on itself.


 
So, you will need some card stock to make a square card, some patterned paper and good quality card to make the frame parts nice and firm, and an image for the centre (not too big... maybe about a 5/6 cm square image for a 15cmx15cm card. You will need the usual basics, glue/double sided tape, foam mount pads if you wish, pencil, ruler and so on. Important, you cannot do all of the parts on a paper trimmer or guillotine, you will need a cutting mat, steel ruler and craft knife. I will bring spares so don't worry.

I think I have remembered to tell you everything. See you all on Tuesday.

PS I will bring some mens stamps this time if anyone wants any samples just bring some paper and ink pads.

Wendy
