E.G.G. not!

Hello, and welcome!

We had three beautiful grandchildren born last year, two girls and a boy, and the eldest of them turns one year old, on 5th April........that'll be my little Yvie-Grace!

So, you ask......what does that have to do with the title of this post?

Weeeeell.......her name was going to be Evie-Grace.....pretty name, right?.........but her surname is Greathead...........gettin' it now?

You just couldn't do it to a little girl.........so, her Mummy (Gillian) came up with the French spelling.....voila!

We've got 6 birthdays coming up in April.......4 in the first few days........so I thought I'd better get a shuffle on, and started with a card for Yvie........hope you like :D.......

The colours in Yvie's room were based on the colours I used in a name plaque that I made for her wall, so I also made a cot quilt in those same colours, and now.....her birthday card just kind of happened in those colours, too......what can I say?.......I like 'em!

This ickle sweetie is from Wee Stamps, and I tried to give her hair the same colour as Yvie's....the colours look a bit washed out, now that I look at the photos........there's a bit of sparkle on the flowers, and on the big bow.........the base and back layer behind the image are kraft card, just for a change........

The cream layer is cut with a Nestie, as are the green flowers.....love this set!.......and the flowers are years old....can ya tell? lol........

Can you see the tiny butterfly?.........had to include some hand-stitchin' on the DP panels, lol........the little flourish was from the same set of Nesties...........

I think the pretty sentiment was a freebie..............

There's another ickle ladybird.......two in one week!.......must be Spring, lol........and how d'ya like those fabby beads?  They are on top of some pink mesh ribbon, stuck on with plain old white craft glue, and those are green Card Candy buttons on the edge.....

.......and, as usual, there's my "signature", coloured to match, on the back...........everything coloured with Promarkers, also as usual. lol......let me know what y' think, won't ya?
