I've Been Papercrafting!!!

Well, here it is... my first papercraft project completed since the birth of Oliver just over two weeks ago... his birth announcement cards;














I have been working on these since arriving home from hospital, but of course the demands of a new bub means less time for crafting... what with the nappy changing, breastfeeding, and endless piles of washing!!! That said, this is by far much more than I had expected to achieve so early on after Oliver's arrival. I guess I'm just lucky that Oliver is a mostly content little boy, and that DH and Matilda are very helpful.

Anyway, back to the cards... I made 20 of these 3.5 inch square notecards, using white Colormates and blue Swiss Dots Bazzill, together with Paper Inklings rub-ons and tiny blue Beutron buttons. Inside is listed Oliver's stats.

I plan to also make some thank yous for the many generous people who have given us the most thoughtful gifts in celebration of Oliver's arrival. I probably have close to 50 to make so I will need to keep it VERY simple!

Well, that's it for me for now. I'll leave you with a recent pic of Oliver, taken yesterday (two weeks and one day);
