A maniac, a wedding dress and a baby card!

Nicole and I have been busy looking at more venues. We saw a beautiful one on Friday which I think is 'The One' so she's taking Ben to see it this afternoon. The sun was shining so we got to see it at it's best. It even has a resident peacock called Ashley lol!!! On the way back from the venue we almost got pushed off the motorway by what I can only describe as a first class idiot! Nic looked and signaled to get in the right lane and just as we started to change lanes HE (hmph!) doesn't look and doesn't signal and almost takes us out. The fact that he did it twice and didn't even acknowledge his stupidty still makes my blood boil. Since we couldn't get into the lane we needed we had to stay where we were and go another way which took us to near where we used to live. Both of us were starving as was the car so we filled up with gas and I told Nic to drop me off at Gregg's and I'd get us lunch. When I came out Nic was nowhere to be seen but she soon phones hyper excited to say that she'd taken a wrong turn and that she found a wedding dress store!!! Now I maintain everything happens for a reason so if you want to find a positive about almost getting killed then there you have one ...we wouldn't have ended up looking at dresses otherwise lol. By the time I got to the store she already had her hands on one and Anne-Marie the owner was pulling out more. She loved the first one and it was beautiful from the front but the back reminded me of the dresses Laura Ingles wore on Little House On The Prairie! She tried on a few more which were just ok and then an absolutely gorgeous one which she loves. She looked beautiful and I got a lump in my throat and could feel the tears pricking my eyes.  I think she'd like to stop looking but her dad thinks she should have another look around...men!!! I ended up buying the first dress I tried on. I thought I looked amazing but now when I look at pictures I wish my dad had told me to keep looking lol.

Today we've got appointments with 2 bridal stores before Nic and Ben head off. Thank goodness we only have an hour in each one!!

I was asked by a neighbour to make a card for her new grandson and this is what I came up with...

I hadn't inked this Baby Baby image up yet and I'm so glad I did. I loved colouring it and my neighbour loved the card. I was tempted to colour the bear suit blue but decided on brown in the end. I figured one monochrome card for the week was enough!! I pulled out and dusted off my Cuttlebug baby embossing folder and ran it through. I didn't want to cut any of the sentiments off so I just left it whole and I think it worked pretty well in the end.

This little guy is just too stinking cute! Don't you just want to pinch his cheeks lol.

I stamped one of the sentiments from the set and punched it with my SU! word window punch.

I'd like to enter this card in That's Krafty #49

Eeek...Nicole will be here soon and I still have to take the dogs out! Hope you have a great Wednesday.

Catch ya later x
