Christening


So Mr Mojo was watching the games while I was trying to make this card. I had no problem colouring and building up the layers of the Baby in a Suit from Mo but making the card became a work in progress.
I used one of the Romantic Rectangles from Spellbinders, the embossing folders are Swiss Dots from Cuttlbug and the stripes from Stampin Up.
For the border is was Martha Stewart border and I decided on the corner from Memory Box to begin with a used one as you can see from the card below but there was something just not right.
The following day I added the Picket Fence and I wasn't really happy with the words for the sentiment but I still wasn't really happy with the card either.
I changed the sentiment when I completed the others and then decided to put another corner on with a couple of discreet snips of the scissors I made it fit and added the the pearls now I almost like the card.

I love the embossing... especially the stripes, so versatile (mmmm, another thing for my wish list!) cute image, and I do prefer the sentiment on the updated version, I think it suits the lovely tailored look of the card. TFS, Donna

Thanks for your article. I have generally observed that the majority of people are desperate to lose weight as they wish to appear slim in addition to looking attractive. On the other hand, they do not generally realize that there are other benefits just for losing weight also. Doctors insist that overweight people come across a variety of disorders that can be directly attributed to their excess weight. The great thing is that people that are overweight in addition to suffering from a variety of diseases can reduce the severity of their illnesses by means of losing weight. You possibly can see a slow but noticeable improvement in health while even a bit of a amount of fat reduction is realized.
