Baby Girl

Good morning all, what a quick weekend that was!

I hope you all managed to get ome time to relax & a bit of fun time too!

The Edinburgh Festival Fringe has begun, so the city is busy busy busy!

We managed to spend a little time soaking up the atmosphere & I'm

looking forward to my stay-cation next week, when we can make the most of it!

Here's the card I have to share today!

It's a little A6 Baby Girl card.

I used an image from La Pashe for the main focus.

I used a spellbinders circle die to cut it out & a scalloped circle to mat.

The edges have been distressed & inked a little.

The embossing folder is a cuttlebug one if I'm not mistaken.

The sentimet was done on the pc & I used a border punch for the decorative mat.

The ribbons & heart gems are from my stash.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hope you like it!

Baby Girl With Lace & Pearls

Good Morning all,

I'm back with another card today!

For those of you who asked, my first day back at work wasn't too traumatic

I actually enjoyed it if I'm honest (don't tell the boss though) Lol.

Here's the DT inspiration card I made for this month's challenge

 Lace & Pearls 

over at The Crafting Cafe on Facebook.

We have a new challenge every month which is 

Just For Fun & we welcome crafters of all levels.

We are a friendly (non selling) group & like to share hints & tips as well as

helpful advice. If you're not already a member, feel free to join us.

I used papers from my scrap box & a decoupaged image called 

Baby Bassinete from La Pashe 

which was left over from another project. 

The Double Decoupage download sheet came with both pink & blue images. 

Useful for twins or just to have a spare!

The lace is from my stash as is the pink satin ribbon & the pearls.

The little ticketdie I've used for the sentiment is from Tattered Lace.

Thanks for popping in, I hope you like my card.

Good Morning all ,

The card I have to share with you today is a New Baby card 

that I was asked to make, for some new Grandparents. 

The decoupage image is from the Best Of  La Pashe 2014 CD Rom

It's also available as a download - Girl Pram from the website.

The card base is 8"x8" & the papers are from the 

First Edition  - Bird Song Pack.

I distressed the edges & inked with Spun Sugar Distress Ink.

I made the sentiment in my graphics programme

& cut with a Spellbinders Die.

The lace & vintage seam binding are from my stash as are the flowers & leaves.

I think the flowers may have been from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Good Morning lovely bloggers & readers!

It'sThursday again & time for me to share a card from 

Just Inklined with you!

This image is one of my absolute favourites, 

 Bassinette

So useful for boys or girls, I keep going back to it over & over again!

 The image is also available onThe Best Of Just Inklined 2012 CD Rom

(shh, I didn't tell you this but you can purchase the CD Rom for the bargain price

of just $5, that's just over £3, at the moment)

The layout of my card was inspired by the fantasic sketch below

Mojo Monday

Here's closer look at the image, which I coloured with Prisma Pencils 

this time! These are new to me, so I have much to learn!

The papers I have used are Simply Fabulous - Maddi

from Making Memories aren't they just gorgeous!

The letters were cut using Sizzix First Steps Dies.

You can just about see I've decorated the inside of the card too!

Rock A Bye Baby

Over at The Crafty Pad, this week, there is a brand new challenge!

Hosted by the lovely Ali, this weeks theme is

# 189 Inspired By A Song

I made a little rocker card!

Can you guess my song?

It's Rock A Bye Baby of course!

I used the image New Baby Girl

This card for a friend who has just had a baby girl but doesn't do pink!

I cut the base from an A4 sheet of card using a Scalloped Circle 

Grand Nestie then cut the DP with the next size down.

I coloured the image with promarkers & flexmarkers.

I also used  Baby Girl Circular Sentiment

Sorry the pics a bit blurry!

I tied a bow in a piece of lace edging & added another little ribbon bow into which was 

tied a teddy bear charm (both of which have been in my stash forever!)

I actually got out a needle & thread & sewed the ribbon bow on to the 

lace bow as I was worried that the weight of the charm would pull it off!

The DP is from the "First Edition" Hideaway stack!

Thanks for looking, I hope you like my little card & I hope you can play at 

The Crafty Pad this week too! I look forward to seeing your cards & your songs!

Before I forget, our fab sponsor this week is:

Crafty Ribbons

And this is the fabby prize up for grabs.

Makes me want to sing! lol

Don't forget that there is just under a week to play in my

Breast Cancer Awareness/Think Pink challenges

both here on my blog & at The Crafty Pad

remember that although they both have the same theme, they are 

actually separate challenges with different sponsors & prizes!
