Hi can't believe its Friday already where's the weeks going haven't been on much what with dental and hospital appointments and Daughter hasn't been feeling too good last few days it's a wonder i haven't had withdrawal symptoms being away from computer too long .
Here's the 1st birthday card i had too make using the template off the Boys cd (Crafters companion Boys and girls cd) the actual template when printed off has 2 coaches but was a bit small for what i wanted i had to take it through into photoplus and crop and resize so the length of this one is A4 and height is A5 the train is decoupaged up the winnie the pooh figures are clipart which i decoupaged aswell i just added the number 1 which is a clear glitter peel off did'nt think it needed any thing else . Well its raining outside debating on wether to go out somewhere or stay in where it's dry
