Baby Card

About time I blog! Yes, indeed. I can't believe it's been three weeks, time flies! Today I finished a couple of orders - all baby cards, so I decided to check what challenges were out there.

The card enters the following challenges:

Creative Inspirations - Monochrome

My Time to Craft - Xtra Special
Busy Beauties Creation Station - Anything goes

Sorry it's a quick post again; I am tired and looking forward to going to bed soon! :-)

Strawberries

I have been under the weather {and therefore MIA} for most of the week, struggling to make just a couple of Communion cards for orders, checking mail and blogs randomly, all with not much energy...
Today the sun is out :-) and I pushed myself to create a card and enter some challenges.
And among my stash of papers and digital images I came across this yummy paper that I downloaded ages ago and these beautiful Studio Nine Design digital strawberries. I had them even coloured! And then this cute image of this "strawberry girl" from Bodil's Scrapperverden appeared and it all got together in my mind! You see, I love strawberries, and when I say "love" I really mean LOVE! Jokingly I often say that I would sell my soul to the devil for a bowl of fresh ripe strawberries! They have always been my favourite fruit so the images and the paper were just a delicious temptation to play with!

My card enters the following challenges:

Passion for Promakers - Strawberries and cream

Dare u 2 digistamp - Anything goes

My time to Craft- Too Cute

Charisma Cardz - Sweet treat

ABC challenge - U for Unused stash (corrugated card, strawberry paper)

7"x7" white base card; all digital images coloured with Letraset Promarkers; Basic red Ribbon from Michaels; corrugated green card and red cardstock from my own stash. I left the card without message but this could be a Birthday or a Congratulations or a Thank you card.
Hope you have a nice weekend!

Baby Girl circle card

I made this little birthday card over the weekend - hopefully the last of my children's birthday cards for a few days! ;-)

The little girl turns 1 so I tried to keep it sweet (with the Forever Friends stamp) and in nice pink tones. I coloured the image with Letraset Promarkers and paper pieced the crown. The balloon stamp is from Hero Arts; gems and ribbon from my own stash.

I am hoping to enter the following challenges:
The Creative Cottage - Circles
CRAFT Challenge - Shaped card
Meljen's Designs - Show us your shape
Whoopsi Daisy - As you like it
Incy Wincy Designs - Anything goes
The Crazy Challenge - Bling, bling

Handbag Shaped Card

Believe it or not - I am still working on those children's birthday cards... yeps!
This one, however, felt a bit easier and it was defenitely more fun for me. It is for a 6 year old girl to start with (I find girls' cards easier than boys'); and she is a very girly girl, a little lady who, by the way, I love to bits. So pinks, ribbons, buttons, bows, glitter - all allowed! :-)

Here is my handbag shaped card, simple but very girly as intended!

{It does not contain a stamped image but a sentiment so I hope it is still be OK to enter the following challenges}:

Aifactory- Use Buttons
Creative Cottage - Circles
CRAFT challenge - Shaped card
Crafty Catz - Spots
Totally gorjuss - In Stitches
Sundays with Crissy - Dots
Meljens Designs - Show us your shape

Happy Monday!

Vintage Album

I am nearly finished with this album which celebrates the life of my late father. It has been quite an emotional journey for me and has taken me a good few months to finally put it together.
One of the few embellishments I used was lace, so I am entering the album in the My Time To Craft challenge of this week. I will post pictures of the album once it is completely finished.

My Time to Craft + Delightful Sketches + Fun with Shapes challenges

Today's card fits 3 challenges:

My time to craft - Kidz Kardz

Delightful sketches - Kids

Fun with Shapes and More - Happy Birthday

Stamp by Swiss Pixies (Liesel and her wheelbarrow); coloured with Letraset Promarkers; Fiskars border punch; Nestabilities Labels.
