New baby card . . . .

Yesterday Cameron came for the day and after lunch although dark clouds were looming and I could hear thunder in the distance I thought we could beat the rain and take a trip to the park.  Well I was wrong!  On arriving at the park it started to rain and after a brave attempt on Cameron's part to play in the rain we eventually had to abandon the trip and return home.   Now I should have listened to my son who said make the trip in the morning as it's going to rain in the afternoon.  But I thought I knew best :) 

Friday I went out with a crafty friend to PDA where I bought some new card suitable for Christmas card a lovely red suitable to make poinsettias and a pine  colour suitable for holly leaves.   But whilst getting ready to post a new make I realised I should have also bought some blue similar to dark blue I used in the card below.  Looking on the bright side though I'll have to make another trip at a later date!!

Yesterday was also world card making and day so I did manage to put a few cards together.  

Now I don't make many cards larger than 6 x 6 but over the past few weeks I've made two 7 x 7 ones the second being a new baby one.  So whilst out Friday I bought some 8 x 8 to try out.  

Today I'm off with my friend to a craft day starting at 10 am and thoroughly looking forward to it.  Especially as we are trying some new craft items.
