This is going to be brief today, as I have an assignation!This piccie is of the beginnings of a card for a' Naming Ceremony'. I haven't actually heard of one of these before, but there's always a first time for everything.
I haven't seen any such cards in the shops and I'm sure that the chosen names of Knox Lyndon, would be difficult if not impossible to find in a commercial card. I will type the sentiment on the computer.
So the Cuttlebug has been busy cutting out the letters for the name, and the colours chosen are to co-ordinate with the gift, which is a Gruffalo Breakfast set. I haven't quite worked out how it will all develop, but time will tell.
I didn't have any of the appropriate shade for the ribbon, so I coloured some with a Promarker.
Having had several days with no crafting due to the presence of my daughter and granddaughter, I've got a lot to catch up on, plus my assignation of course!
I'll let you know about that later!
Hop over to Julia's to see what everyone else is up to this fine Wednesday!
Have a Happy Day!
thanks for sharing your workdesk today chrissie and good luck with the project...hugs kath xxx
ReplyDeleteGreat workspace, good luck with the "naming" card. And your very secretive sounding assignation - can't wait to hear about that.
ReplyDeleteOMGosh, colouring the ribbon. I wonder if your customers and recipients know how much work you put into their cards. Shows you how far behind children are for me now - no idea that green was for Gruffalo. Looking forward to hearing of your assignation - I may well wait for your account before I tell of mine!!
ReplyDeleteHi, I made one of these cards last year but fortunately for me the Gran wanted a photo of the baby on the front of the card....I sat her on a ouple of fancy dollies....then the aid of the Bug and printing on the PC....job done. I think it turned out well, but then the Gran did cry when she saw it! Look forward to seeing how yours turns out. Have a great day - hope the sun shines for your assignment! (lol) ikki x
ReplyDeleteAfter visiting some seriously messy desk my blood pressure was sky high, and then I came to your oasis of peace, calm and tidiness. Glad to know I'm not the only one! Spotted a SU roller there (love those) and loving the look of those markers - which brand are they then?
ReplyDeleteI very much wonder what "assignation" is, also a naming ceremony - isn't that just christening..well maybe if you are not religious you call it that! Amazing what strange things us crafters have to do! :-0
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Cardarian
Good luck with the new project! Happy Crafting. Kathleen x

I can't wait to see that card finished Chrissie ... and that is one very unusual name!
ReplyDeleteoooh what a lovely organised space ! ... Have fun with the card :o) x
ReplyDeleteHow tidy and organised -ooh-er! Hope your card turns out well. They're the latest in non christian 'welcomings' from what I can gather. Great colours.
ReplyDeleteWow so tidy Chrissie,I'm afraid Naming ceremonies are becoming quite popular these day's,I look forward to seeing the end result.xxx
ReplyDeletelooking forward to seeing your finished project I colour ribbon with markers too so much easier than trying to find the right shade.
ReplyDeleteI love how you have your pens all organised, right in front of you.....smart idea!
ReplyDeleteIf I don't have something to coordinate for a project, I'll color the ribbon, too. I wonder if the recipients know how much you put into things. Looks like a very organized way to craft, too. Happy WOYWW.
ReplyDeleteclever you with your ribbon! looking forward to seeing the finished card, good luck with your assignment :) hugs m xx
ReplyDeleteI love having a little snoop on your earlier blogs too - hope your assignation wasn't too exhausting!!!!
ReplyDeleteyour coloured ribbon looks really good, I had no idea that you could so that! Hope you assignation turns out ok! Tracey x
ReplyDeleteNever coloured ribbon, but i have printed on it, and I'm sure it's all going to be fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteHave a crafty WOYWW

I spy with my little eye a copic ciao crafter.
ReplyDeleteLuv Joanne xx
Wow what a colection of copics !!
ReplyDeleteHmmm ... yep I think you could be right there hun on the name - don't think you'll find that to easily. I have trouble finding Whitney and Yasmin (plenty of Jasmine/Jasmin but not many of my girls name) so I think Knox is pretty unique there. Very organised I wish I was sometimes hehehe
ReplyDeleteTake care hun and have a good week

Sorry I'm rather late in calling in. It's been really manic here the last few days and I had to pop to see my elderly neighbour in hospital last night [only a 62 mile round trip :-)].
ReplyDeleteI childminded a little one many years ago that had a naming ceromony under an Elm tree in a field :-)

Look forward to seeing your finished card Chrissie! Great idea to colour the ribbon to match!
ReplyDeleteSeriously tidy but good there's WIP! Thanks for sharing. Congrats to your daughter too... My two went through the same to have their precious babes so I now how it is and wish her the best now she is at a safe stage. She must stay positive and she'll soon have her little one.
ReplyDeleteOh wow! What an amazing Copic selection there! And all in hand's reach. Can you come built that for me too please? LOL
ReplyDelete** Evi **
You are a tidy momma! And, I hasten to add, have marker mania from the looks of that stash lining the back of your desk. I too am addicted to markers, and have recently (guiltily) bought Cases of them as they were on sale for .20 a pack (I KNOW) on account of all of this back-to-school nonsense.

Hi there, we went to a naming ceremony for my niece last year. It was held in the registry office where her parents had got married, it was lovely. Some poems were read out and the registrar talked about bringing up children, and then the eqivalent of 'godparent's got up and made promises to always be there for the child etc etc. then they all signed a certificate. It was all very relaxed and lovely.
ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing the finished card.

Hi Chrissie
ReplyDeleteYour card looks to be shaping up nicely. There are a lot of Naming Cermonies over here. They are like a non-religious Christening and you have a celebrant not a priest. Love your space too.
WOYWW on a Sunday for me, I get later visiting every week! I'm very enviousof all those copics ;)
ReplyDelete** Kate **
Love all your cards Chrissie, good luck with your project too.

Naming ceremonies are a great way to get all the family together if you're not religious and don't want a Christening. Mind you, we just had a party! Good luck with the card - love the Gruffalo! x
ReplyDeleteThank u for dropping by on my blog, thank you for sharing, those pens are so neat. I do get up this early everyday as I go to work, early start.
