hi i'm Michelle, I am 39 years old. I'm married to matt, with 2 children. William 13 yrs old and Isobel aged 7. I started making cards in 2010 as a way to relax after suffering with postnatal depression. Unfortunately with working life and having our second child, Isobel. who has additional needs, my crafting got pushed to one side. Having recently renovated our new house I've been able to have my own crafty space again. I'm loving unboxing all my old supplies, and buying new of course. Its mainly card making I'm enjoying, but also had a little dabble in crochet and sewing over lockdown. I've decided to keep using my blog as a place to record all my makes, if only for myself. it was a real trip down memory lane when I found this again after 8 years!!! Of course id love to share my makes with others and learn from you all along the way.

more christening cards......but a dodgy camera!

Ive fuinished off a couple more of the christening cards today, so thought id add them. unfortunately my camera seems to be playing up and not producing very good pics......

The frames were made with an xcut scalloped oval die i have and the little bible i had in my stash on many little ready made die cuts. i made the cross with the robo and also did the wording with it. i added liquid pearls (like stickles) to finish.

This card is to be sent from children, so i wanted it to be less formal. I created the cross with a craft robo template (tina fitch - see previous post).  the writing was also done on the robo. The baby is one of my many ready made die cuts ive brought along the way, coloured with spectrum noirs. I love his cheeky little face, he really resembles kyle (the boy being christened). I have finished with star peel offs to soften the look.
