1st Communion


Hello all, thankyou once again for all the lovely comments you leave me its lovely to read through them all and many make me smile or chuckle! People who are asking about Gwen...she is doing great...a friend yesterday said to me she is like a hamster she is that tiny still, but I've got a feeling she is starting to grow a little, she is soooo cheeky liking the computer of course and often likes to sit on the back of my neck which is lovely but bleeding annoying lol. I shall add a piccie of her in a min looking very cute in another of her fav positions!
But onto my card now and its for my Nephew who has his 1st communion this Sunday, this also fits in well to the challenge at cute card thursday
where the theme was no designer papers, so this worked fantastically for that.
RECIPE:
Image-computer generated verse
Co-ordinations cardstock ran through cuttlebug using divine swirls
