Bugaboo Cutie!

Hello, and welcome!

Do you ever get yourself into trouble?  I do it a lot ....and a couple of days ago, I did it again....I never mean to.....I think I'm just wired that way.....or, at least, my funny-bone is!!

I have this quirk of nature that makes me want to laugh out loud at the most inappropriate of times....not just a snigger...a grin...a smirk....a full-out belly laugh!

Some instances:......  I was the 11 year old who laughed like a drain, in the whole-school assembly, when it was announced that our needlework teacher, Sister Magdalen, had broken her arm when she swerved her bike to avoid a cat.......detention for a week......

I was the 15 year old, who, when her best friend came to the house wearin' a headscarf, looking for sympathy because she'd attempted to go blonde, and was actually a murky mustard, chortled 'til her teeth ached........took a fortnight of crawlin' to make it up to said friend.......

I was the young mum who always tried not to snort too obviously when my little one fell over/off/under......still tryin' to make up for all those times..........

I was the daughter who laughed hysterically when the priest swung his incense thingy, at her Dad's funeral, and smacked it into the coffin.......still tryin' to live that one down, too.......suffice to say I was not my Mam's favourite child, at that moment....but I just know that my Dad would have been laughin' with me :D.......

And, a couple of days ago, I was the Mum and Grandma who almost wet herself (yeah...I'm at that age)....when her daughter, who was carrying her baby girl, slipped on a toy train track that had been left on the hardwood floor, tossin' the baby into the air and crashin' down in a heap....the baby was shocked but unhurt...the daughter had a twisted knee and torn ligaments......and Grandma was tryin' to pick 'em both up, while splutterin' an' chokin'........I think my daughter wants to be put up for adoption, so she can have a new Mum.....sigh......

As I said.......my funny-bone gets tickled by the oddest things, at the oddest times......SORRY....lol! 

Thought I'd have a play with this cutie.......

How cute is that?  Bugaboo have some very cute images, and this one was a freebie...yay!

I might use this for Millie's 1st birthday....we'll see......but I really like pinks and browns together....not a traditional baby card, but I like it...lol.   The frame is a huge stamp that I've had for a long time , and have never used before......bad crafter, bad crafter.......heehee.....the DPs are from a freebie pack that came with a magazine, and I used brown card from my stash......

Coloured up the flowers with Promarkers, and added a blob of pink Stickles to the centres........did a bit of handstitchin' on the background.....

The pretty, shiny hearts are like ickle soft cushions, and were a gift from a bloggie friend.........thanks Chris! :)

Stuck the sentiment onto the brown cardstock, and stitched.......sentiment is a Melissa Francis sticker......

And the gorgeous flutterby is another gift from Chris......all I did was ink around the edges.......love it.......

And here's the layers.......don't look at the messy desk........I said don't look! Ha!

Thanks for droppin' in....I love it when you do!
