I'm a new mummy...

Whoops that title will have sent some of my friends into shock.  No of course I'm not, but I'm hoping to be a new Grandma very shortly.  EEEEEEEEEEeeek - listen out for the screams!
While doing my boring food shopping in town yesterday I noticed that our Hallmark shop had a sale on and when I saw two 'new mummy and daddy' pottery badges reduced to 50p each I just couldn't resist.  Unfortunately, they didn't have a Grandma one so I guess that's a project for another day.
The badges were a bit tricky to fasten to the card circles without creasing the card, but I think they were worth the effort. 
The designer paper is from the Nana's Nursery stack teamed up with green card from my stash.
Challenges...


and challenges for card number two...
No top tips for today as I have now done a whole two days with no accidents with paint or varnish.  Maybe I should have kept that quiet as I may be tempting fate.  Have a great day all and do watch this space for more baby cards and news.

Hi Ann. Ive not seen that sentiment on a badge before. It has made a cute card.
I wonder if it is your first grandchild. I think grandchildren are wonderful. I am waiting for my first great-grandson to arrive in August. Now that does make me feel a bit ancient! Kate x
