Blue is the colour

Hello again. It's been a busy one here at Baby Squiggles HQ, not working but having lots of fun with Stanley! Saturday saw us visiting Thomas the Tank Engine and his friends on the East Lancs railway and Stanley had such a fantastic time. He loved it! It was a little bit chaotic and rather rainy and cold, but that's England for you. After weeks of boiling-hot weather it would have to rain on the one day we needed it to stay dry! Oh well. We've got lots of exciting things lined up for the rest of the summer, including In the Night Garden Live and a trip to Barcelona. But once all those things are over it's not the end of the excitement - autumn brings all kinds of fun days including Halloween, Bonfire Night, Stanley's 2nd birthday and CHRISTMAS!!

Of course, as crafters we've been working on Christmas cards already so the excitement is already beginning to grow! People will always protest about the mention of Christmas in August but preparations are already underway, with a few well-known shops opening their Christmas departments this week. I for one love Christmas, so I really enjoyed creating these samples. I designed them using the new Polka Doodles Work & Play Festive Hollybobs CD a few weeks ago but haven't been able to show them to you until now. As well as the lovely festive reds and greens you've already seen on some of my previous cards, this CD also offers blue and purple papers for cards with a wintry feel. So pretty! Thanks for looking and have a great week :)
