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!

Something New

Hello there!

Happy Saturday! I hope you have had a fab week!

I'm really excited this weekend....as you are reading this (if its still Saturday!) I am at One Aldwych with Lorna, at their afternoon tea Masterclass! We get to meet Chef Dominic and learn the secrets of a professional afternoon tea! Read all about it next week on our afternoon tea blog!

I'm back today with a new challenge from My Time to Craft and this week we'd like to see you feature something new on your card.....now this can be a baby, a home or maybe a job. We don't want to see new stash though...it has to be a celebration!

I recently was asked to make some thank you cards after someone had their baby and wanted to thank their friends and family for the gifts and cards they sent. I found this super cute baby digi image and I thought it would be perfect for this challenge too....

What a cutie pie!

I've coloured my image with my Promarkers. I then decided to go with a card that wasn't gender specific....so I went with yellow and this cute star backing paper. Finally I added my sentiment.

Special Christmas

Hello there,

Hope you are well today....I'm back with my second post today - this time with a challenge from My Time to Craft. We're celebrating special Christmases this week...whether that be baby's first Christmas, Christmas in a new home or a first Christmas for a married couple....anything as long as its special (and you let us know what the occasion is with the sentiment)!

Joe's sister is due to have her first baby this Christmas, and Joe is excited about becoming an uncle. I've discovered this wonderful image that I will be using when the baby has joined us....and it is perfect for this challenge too....

 

Isn't it a cutie?

 

My image has been coloured with my Promarkers and I have added a little bit of sparkle with my Stickles. I then went with a background of blues and baby soft colours. Finally I finished off my card with some holly that I've cut from red and green papers.

 

For more inspiration pop by the My Time to Craft challenge blog and see the fab DT cards that have been created this week.

 

If you popped by my Sweet Stampin post earlier you will have seen a couple of photos from my Rhythm Riot weekend last weekend.....but I couldn't resist sharing just one more! We had a fabulous time at Pontins in Camber Sands - full of 1950s clothes, cars, music and dancing.

 

Here's me and my new car (I wish!!)....

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.
