With a bit of help from my mum I made a start on the christening invitations yesterday! She cut out white ovals using my nesties and I stamped the LOTV baby in a christening gown onto them all. While I then used my nesties to cut out scalloped ovals from blue paper, Mum folded the card blanks (which I had already stuck the inserts into) and when she had gone home I stuck all the white ovals onto the blue scalloped ovals and started adding Stickles to the baby's gown - I need to keep working on that tonight!
Mum is coming back on Wednesday so we can hopefully finish them - colouring in the baby with Copics or Promarkers (any recommendations as to which colours are best would be gratefully received!!), sticking 'invitation' peel-offs on each card and then just writing names, addressing envelopes and typing & printing out directions!
Hopefully by the end of the week I will be able to put a photo of them on here, then it's back to the thank you cards for all the presents he received when he was born!
Another Trip to Craftmania, Norfolk.

Sounds very productive, I use satin, blush and dusky pink for skin (promarkers) and white gel pen to highlight the cheeks.
Can't wait to see them! It sounds like they'll be lovely. I can't remember which pro-markers I used to use for skin, but I use E21 (baby skin pink ;) ) E02 and E00 for skin and R20 for rosy cheeks with my copics.
