A Baby card for New Grandparents.

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How was your weekend? I hope you did something nice. I have been working on the image for the wedding invitations I am making for our nephew and his fiancee. The artwork has come in three parts that need putting together. It has been rather tricky. My husband had to do the scanning at his work as the main image was on A3 paper. He often ends up helping me when I make wedding invites it takes team work.

One of my best friends became a grandmother for the first time last week which is all very exciting. The new baby is a little girl and everyone is doing well. I made a card to celebrate.

So the new baby is a girl so the card had to be pink. I got all my baby themed dies and I put them together. It was quite a quick make. 

The baby blocks are by Tattered Lace I picked them up in a sale. 

The babygro is a Crafter's Companion die. 

Another Tattered Lace die one of my favourites. 

Look who is staying with us for a couple of weeks while my daughter and her husband are in America at a convention. They are very cute. 

It is such a big thing to become a grandparent and my friend never thought she would. 

Have a great week.

Happy Crafting

Unexpected 50th Birthday Card

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

Happy Thursday. I am back again today this time with a card I wasn't expecting to make. It is someone at works special birthday today but the card was wanted for yesterday (that is when we have our group meeting) and I was asked on Tuesday if I had a card. Luckily I was up to date with Design Team makes so I found the time to make this.

I had been going to use a card from my extensive stash but then I remembered a sheet of images of cyclists. The recipient is a keen cyclist and all the presents were themed around this hobby so I just had to make a card using the images. 

I think the sheet is one from Kanban. The images set the tone of the card and influenced my colour choices. The background seemed empty once I had placed the elements so I added some die cuts to give some added texture. 

I was there when the card was opened and the recipient was thrilled she liked her presents too. It was nice to make her a special card. 

Happy Crafting

Unicorn Challenge Blog - Challenge 2 Think Pink

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

I am back again this week this time with my inspiration card for the start of the new challenge on the Unicorn Challenge blog and the theme is Think Pink. This is just our second challenge we were overwhelmed by the response to our very first challenge.

Would you believe it I actually found this challenge quite hard. I went through my stash and I found this beautiful paper I think it came from magazine. There was so much going on with the paper it was hard to know quite how to deal with it. 

I decided to use a selection of Sue Wilson dies to build up round the sentiment in a space on the paper so that none of the lovely elements were hidden. 

 I did ink the paper to make it a little more pink than it started out originally. 

The final touch was to add some ribbon (it covered the yellow flower) and Candi from my stash of course they had to be pink.

I do hope that you are having a great week. 

Happy Crafting
