Oh I am a happy girl right now! I made this card on a rare Saturday afternoon when I only had half my childstock (it’s my new word throughout the seemingly endless holiday!) here.
Oliver (tiddly!) was having a nap, Luke (2nd born!) was out washing the car with my husband, and my Dad had taken Jack and Jacob (1st and 3rd) off to the airshow while Mum was working.
And boy did I grab that spare couple of hours with open arms. Daylight for filming! It feels like it’s been months since I’ve been able to film using the natural daylight of my window. Okay, so there may possibly be a bit of children’s noise towards the end of the video; my next door neighbour’s children were visiting for the weekend, and I’ve since found out that they and Luke decided that washing a car was boring, and washing the front door was more fun….
But you’ll forgive the little extra noises if not only because I carried on with the tutorial anyway!
However, back to the project. I didn’t know I was going to have the afternoon free until about 2 hours prior when Dad rang, and I had no specific projects planned, and this literally fell out of my head, into a prototype and straight onto video!
Do you approve of my random brain?
The only part of it that I’d made previously was the flower on the front, and I’d made that the night before, so beyond that, it was a bit of a wing and a prayer!
But would you believe I not only managed to knock up this little baby, but in 2 hours, I filmed 3 videos??? Boy was I on a roll!
However, you’re here today to read about this project and not my random ramblings, so, without further ado (waits for the chorus….!) CLICKETY CLICK HERE!
