Hello folks, no don't panic I'm not expecting! It's just a post title lol Though I have to say I love babies and I wish my kids would hurry up and have some!! I'm desperate to be a Granny, I know I know I'm far too young lol (I wish)
Well I'm back from my holiday in the sun and burnt to a crisp too, a lovely shade of peeling, red and brown with the odd bit of sun bleached hair thrown in for good measure!! The temperatures were sky high and peaked at 42 degrees on the Saturday. It was really good to get away but I don't think I've managed to resolve my problems and I kind of wish I was still there!

I had this card all made ready and scheduled as today we have a brand new challenge at
MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES
and the lovley Marita is hosting her
first challenge with us and has chosen
Babies
Here is what I came up with
Using the image First Steps from our Sponsor this week
Don't you just love gingham on baby cards? To me they go hand in hand but then I like gingham! I did a bit of cutting with my nesties to create the frame and though it doesn't look like it in this picture, the ribbon does match! The sentiment is a rub on that I have had forever!
Head over to the main challenge blog for all the details of the challenge, the prize and some gorgeous inspiration from my teammies this week.
That's all from me, thank you for stopping by. I will get myself all sorted out and unpacked and holiday washing done then I'll be around to visit you all
Love 'n' Hugs Laurie xx
