Mel's Me Time

Goodmorning Everyone, Welcome to Friday! It is so nice to know that the working week is almost over and that a weekend of creativity is close by! It has been a little crazy around here....this appears to be "normal" ~ it would be nice for things to slow down just a little! I am here to share with you a little project that I created for friends of ours that have just had a beautiful new baby boy. A little gift to celebrate the occasion... I also made a little card to welcome Xavier into the world. Congratulations Ash and Bid....what a beautiful little boy! I have used the Kaisercraft 'Party Animals' collection. It is such a cute collection and even though it is party based it is so versatile that you can use it for so many different kid related projects. Scrapbookit News! Over at Scrapbookit Jo has announced her new Design Team. I have been so lucky to be asked to continue on the team with another stint as Design Team Leader. ...

We have had such a big week here. It all started with the hype and excitement of the impending arrival of our new niece or nephew. Monday came and went with no news, Tuesday was the day that my sister was induced.......and we waited. Wednesday we were still waiting...........until FINALLY my sister had a beautiful baby boy Harrison James . He is the most gorgeous little man and we are so lucky to have him in our lives. My poor sister......well he definitely rocked her world for more than 28hours. To make matters just a little more painful he was 10lb 6oz.....I know, any lady who has given birth has just crossed her legs and said 'Ouch!' Shel did a brilliant job and we are all so very proud of her. Here are some pics of our new little nephew. So, our week was huge. We went through a variety of emotions but in the end we are just so happy for Shel and Jono. Now that little (or should I say big) Harrison has arrived I can show you the paint tin, album and card I made for a newborn...
