1st october (pm)

Wow, first time I've posted twice in one day. It's usually more like twice in a month!! I seem to have my crafting mojo back. I've started making word books for new born babies in the family (or friends of the family), frame them and then they put them in their nursery rooms. It's become very popular and each one I've done has been appreciated which is lovely.



I've made this one using Wishes and Kisses 'Hey Baby Boy' papers and using the digi stamps from Craft the Year Away. I then punch a few butterflies from the paper colour I use for the patches on the teddy. Once it's framed it looks really nice either on the wall or a shelf.

This one is for a colleague of my husbands. I made one at the beginning of the year and I dare not miss anyone out now!!

Lynne this the first time I have ever seen a wordbook used in this way and it's inspired! I love how you have paper pieced the teddy and elephant. It's a wonderful creation, no wonder everyone wants one! Thank you very much for joining in with us on the Get Funky Challenge Blog.
