(Apologies to all WOYWW-ers or other bloggers: This is a post I did pre-op.
I am not here this week really, as things still very blurry (in vision and in the head) after eye surgery on Tues 2.10.12 so wont be doing the rounds but really, REALLY appreciate all who kindly pop over to say hi.
Hope and pray things back to normal soon. Addendum written Thurs 4.10.12)
Hullo there every one - those of you who have regularly followed this blog may recall last year I posted a card for Emily Elizabeth when she was born!

| Here I am inking up the punched out images with 1 1/4" EK Success square punch - using Kaleidacolor Blue breeze and sponge daubers for the edges to highlight them |
Background format: (first shown to me by my friend Debbie who crafts here but sadly does not have a blog, so cannot show you her clever idea!)
You take four punched images 3/4 inch in contrasting papers or embossed paper to make four by four checkerboard. Then ink around in matching or complementary colour and arrange in checkerboard pattern and mover them along the diagonal one each time you lay them down.
Originally when I did this I made the embossed owl folder (Hoot Hoot by craft Concepts) in blue, but it yelled too much blue. Next tried the mauve pink and it was not enough contrast either, so went the lovely mint green.
Used Spellbinders Fancy
Labels and the Cuttlebug Olivia alphabet and number. Owl is Quickutz
Lifestyle OWL KS-0887 2". It was the cutest I could find on eBay. My first
die like this and they are fun to make up, all the different colours, so
bit fiddly! I used a rub on for the happy birthday greeting!
Thanks everyone for popping over for a peek and a chat and may God bless your day wherever you may be!
