Babies!

Hello there,

Well, I don't know what is happening in my office at the moment...but all the ladies who sit at desks in my area are either getting engaged, getting a new job or having babies! Honestly....if we are not talking about wedding dresses we seem to be comparing baby bumps! I'll be clear that none of these things apply to me...although everyone keeps suggesting that I need to fit into one of the groups!!

This week's Sweet Stampin challenge fits in nicely with this theme however as this week we want to see your projects featuring babies!

Here is my card....featuring some rather cute little images.....

I bought these images as a set about five months ago when Joe's little niece Isabelle was born and I wanted to make a card for her. I think they are so sweet! I've coloured my images with my Promarkers and have gone with a really girly pink colour scheme!

I can't quite believe that five months have flown by so quickly already! 

For more "baby" inspiration pop by the Sweet Stampin challenge blog and take a peek at Team Abi's cute cards! While you are there you can also read all about our fab sponsor this week....

If there are any UK based afternoon tea fans out there you might want to pop over to my little afternoon tea blog too....as this month we are celebrating a year of afternoon tea posts at Tea With Me and Friends! In the last year we've featured over 60 afternoon teas and have met so many wonderful people, we are delighted to be able to celebrate with an afternoon tea competition! Take a peek at the blog for more information!

Lets get folding!

Hello there,

Happy Saturday....I hope you've had a lovely week.

Mine started really well...we had the brilliant news that Joe has become an uncle for the first time. His sister had a beautiful little girl on Monday afternoon, she was two weeks overdue and so we are all pleased that little Isabelle finally decided to make an appearance!

We have a fab challenge for you at My Time to Craft this week, we want to see your easel cards. Inspired by my wonderful news, I got crafting....

I've gone with a very pink colour scheme for this card....well she is a baby girl after all!

My cute images have been coloured with my Promarkers and I have gone with polka dots and stripes for the backing papers.

For more inspiration pop by the My Time to Craft challenge blog and take a peek at all the gorgeous DT cards that have been created by the DT this week.

I'd also like to enter this card in the following challenges:

Baby Baby!

Hello there,

Happy Tuesday!

So, I just watched the Great British Bake Off....as you can image I love that programme! This week was biscuits and tray bakes and I now want to create a biscuit tower of my own!

Earlier this evening I spent an hour or so in my craft room....I caught up on some DT cards and made some other cards. I really enjoyed myself....so all in all its been a fab evening!

Anyway, here I have a new baby card for you....

 

Although this card looks quite flat, that's just my bad photography skills! The little baby grow is in fact fixed to the card with mini 3D sticky pads, lifting it away from the polka dot backing paper. I have coloured my image with my Promarkers and added some sparkle with my Stickles.

 

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

 

Allsorts -baby

Glitter Sparkle - add some pink

The Pink Elephant - digi image

Top Tip Tuesday - Get in shape (anything but rectangle)

Papertake Weekly - Make it Sparkle

 

If you get the chance pop by all these fab challenge blogs and take a peek at the gorgeous DT cards that have been created!

Well thats bad luck!!

Me again...this time I'm back with the My Time to Craft challenge...and guess what...yes, its another embossing challenge!! Aarrgghhh!!

If you saw my earlier Sweet Stampin blog post you'll already know that I'm not the greatest fan of embossing...its just not my thing! Imagine what I thought when I saw that embossing featured in not one, but two challenges that I needed to make DT cards for...and they are both on the same day!!! AArrgghhh!!

Anyway, as I said before...it wouldn't be fun if challenges were always easy...so here is embossing card number two....

Soooo, once again I've gone with dry embossing...because thats a bit easier for me! I've used my Cuttlebug again to create this cute tag. I've coloured my image with my Promarkers again...and this time I have gone with a cute pink and yellow colour combo.

Pop by the My Time to Craft challenge blog to see how the lovely DT ladies have used embossing on their fab cards.

I'd also like to enter this card at:

The Pink Elephant - anything goes

Simon Says Stamp - anything goes
Di's Digi Designs - all about children
Cute Card Thursday - something old - the embossing folder

 

Pop by both of these blogs to see the gorgeous DT cards that have been created this week.

Round and Round

Morning everyone! I did not want to get out of my cosy bed this morning! I was so snug and warm and comfortable!! Maybe I need to get a job as a bed tester??

Today's card is a pink delight....

This week's challenge over at the Cupcake Craft Challenge is round and round....the lovely ladies want to see projects with circles on. The DT have come up with some fab designs, Donna has designed a really unique circular card and I love the colour scheme on Denise's design......take a peek here.

I needed a new baby girl card, so thats what I made! I've used stamps from a set that I bought on the weekend.

I started with some pink and blue dotty paper (really tiny circles!) and on top of that I've layered a semi circle of pink. I then attached some pink ribbon across the card and added a cute button and two little shiny stickers.

Finally I added my two stamped images. I'm still not fab at stamping, but practice makes perfect!! I stamped the images onto plain white card, cut them into circles and then backed with some hot pink paper which again was cut into circles (albeit a little wonky!).

I'm kinda chuffed at how many circles I manged to get onto one little card!!

Anyway, gotta fly this morning.....hope you all have a fab day!
Thanks for popping by.
