Tunnel Card

 Morning fellow crafters, I hope you are all well. As I write this post my head is banging, the weather is so close here its squishing my brain! I hate this weather, much prefer the cold. Anyhoos, I'm here today to share my latest 'Not Just Cards' creation with you.

As you know I love 'Clearly Besotted' stamps & after looking through the new release stamps from this month I just knew I had to use this set to make a tunnel card. No idea how to make one. So after asking Hazel & being pointed in the direction of easy to follow distructions this is what I ended up with!! Its now sitting on Harvey's shelf, as Katie liked it so much she pinched it lol!!

Harvey's Baby Shower

As a few of you know, we are going to be welcoming our first grandchild into the world in June  (so excited) As of today, they have decided on the name Harvey. I just love it & can't wait to meet him. As Katie still lives at home with us, I am getting lots of time to talk to him & feeling him kick makes me cry every time!! 
Anyhoos, as Katie decided she wanted a Baby Shower, I said I'd make the invites....never made Baby Shower ones before!
After spending ages looking on the internet for an image she liked, I said why don't you draw your own (as she is an artist & wants to be a tattoo artist eventually) So this little cutie is what she came up with!!

Oh this make is my DT creation over at 'Not Just Cards' 



Katie drew two different ones & then couldn't decide which to use so I did 10 of each!
She has even put a small H on his bib 💖
