Hi folks, back from 2 weeks in the sun, on Corfu, mozzie capital of the world! Thats a panoramic pic taken by Beloved Hubby on his new tablet gadget thingy.
This was the view from our balcony, the beach & sea just over the road. Me and Beloved Hubby having a pony & carriage ride around Sidari, where we stayed.
So not a lot of crafting done, as yet. I did have to throw together rather fast yesterday afternoon, a card for a girl at work leaving to have a baby. She was going to go next week, but decided to go this Friday instead, so it was a bit of a rush job, but didn't come out too badly, I have to say.
Biggest help was all the glittering I did a while ago- the squares & Baby word are Chocolate Baroque stamps, in White Staz-on on transparency film, silver glitter on the back of the squares, and white on the letters. The background paper I have had for ages, and I went with white for the glitter & ribbon, because when I started it, I realised I could not remember if she's having a boy or girl. I thought she was having a boy, but didn't want to take the risk that I had the wrong idea in my head- wouldn't be the first time- so played safe with a paper that covers all options, :) .So thats me for this week, I'll hopefully post early, and be back later to visit. I'm back on double day shift for a few weeks,which is a whole other story, but if I start telling it, a lot of bad language will be involved, and I wouldn't want to shock my visitors.Have a great Wednesday!

Welcome back, great photos, and always fun to get away and enjoy some quiet time. I'm off early to get my walking done, rain on the horizen and some really nice fall days. Birds heading south, crops are almost ready for harvest all the signs of winter around the bend. Enjoy the week.
I so missed you :) But hope you had a most fabulous trip. Nice card for a baby and best play it safe. I know of two or three instances where the BOY (or GIRL) that was expected, bought for and decorated for turned out to be...NOT as expected. Can't go too far wrong with yellow and green and a mix of pink and blue.
Happy WOYWW!

Oh Corfu looks stunning, and that picture of you both is wonderful...looks like a wedding photo! welcome home, and well done on the rush job card...it's blimmin lovely.
Oo wow I do love the card, nice to see somebody using the white staz on, I have the black and think it smells like marzipan but wasnt sure how well the white would work, after seeing this I may have to get some Lx
Welcome back! Looks like you had a great holiday. I love the baby card! Wise decision to keep it neutral! Happy WOYWW! Sorry I'm so late, I've been out all day. Off to bed now, as I was up at 5.00am! Julie Ann xx #35
great photos and looks like a fab vacation. A great card made in such a short time.
Wow! Clever shot! Love your card - it doesn't look like a rushed card! Chris77
Those babies certainly come on their own timeline, don't they? I'm boss-less at work this week since his baby is here 5 weeks early. Sweet baby card! You're one up on me as I haven't made one for the boss yet. Love the panoramic photo. It looks like a lovely place to be!
Welcome back! Gorgeous place for a vacation! Don't know where Corfu is so will be looking it up. Happy WOYWW! Nan G #7
Yes welcome back from I have no idea where...but looks enjoyable...I've been scrolling through your blog, and love what I see. Thanks for the inspiration to make some stamp cleaner...I love frugal...home made remedies. I have the pc pipe and sponges...but not sure how to cut said pipe. Your background papers are sensational too. I'm sorry to be late. but I don't think it matters...do you? Carole #99

Hello Shaz so glad to have you back, you were much missed :) Fab photos and I bet it already seems like a dream now.
Lovely baby card and good idea to do a neutral one then no one is offended :)
Hope you can soon settle back down to crafting once work is sorted out.

Hi Shaz,
What a wonderful vacation spot! I imagine both of you were quite relaxed after that!
I'd say your Baby Card is perfect! I wish I could "throw things together" like that!!!
Thanks for visiting me already!
