A little Something I whipped up tonight...Dorothy Shoes!

These little cuties were so very easy to make and took only very little time.  I think you'll be seeing more of these.  Let's hope when I try them on Gracey tomorrow, that they fit. If not, we welcomed little Elsie Olive into the Board Family today...perhaps they'll fit her tiny little feet!

More Baby Cards!

The flood of baby girls continues!!!Whilst away on holidays I received the lovely news that a friend of mine had welcomed into the world a beautiful little girl, Felicity Jean. I also needed to create a baby girl card for our new family member, Lily Maree. For these two cards I cheated by using the same layout. I was also pleased to be able to use 3 of my new stamp sets: Family Favourites, Jumbo Outline Alphabet, and Big Deal Alphabet (All 3 are almost half price in the inventory clearance), plus All in the Family, Cheep Talk, with Candy Lane and Sweet Always Design Series Paper.

To add something special to these cards, I've personalised each one with their name and added little dots to the baby hearts using Crystal Effects. The layout is a simple one but I think it has turned out well!

Delivering baby gifts is such a great excuse to get special newborn cuddles!

Little Birdy Collection

Happy New year everyone! I still can't believe it is the year 2010....Celebrating the year 2000 doesn't seem that long ago. I've decided that this year will be the start of many new things for me creatively. Let's hope when I look back at the end of this year I see lots of new techniques and projects created.

To start this year I've create a very simple collection of cards using the Good Morning Sunshine Design Series Paper along with the Sweet Little Sentiments and Cheep Talk Stamp sets from Stampin Up. These three little Whisper White cards were created with scraps of cardstock I found in my paper stash. Making yourself use scraps of cardstock not only uses up items you may have thrown out but it also creates inspiration for different layouts. The use of Trend Trees perfectly goes with the cute little birdies.

These next two cards were cut out whilst away on holidays. I had limited supplies with me (no ribbon and no paper punches...what was a girl to do without some of her favourite things!!!). When I returned home I added the ribbon and added the glitter shaker card effect. THis first one isn't for anyone in particular...just yet!
But the 2 little owls shaker card will be going out to my friend Jaz who has recently become engaged. When I started fiddling with this card I didn't intend for it to be an engagement card, but along the way the 2 little owls ended up as love birds. The little owl hearts were created with antique brass heart brads. Looking forward to sharing more with you in 2010! Take care!!

A Quick Baby Card - Welcome to the World Isabelle Sophia!!

Just a quick baby card I whipped up the other night. I had got home late from our family dinner but need a baby card the following morning for my friend Belinda who had a baby girl last Monday (Isabelle Sophia). It's not brilliant but it's cute. This card also gave me an excuse to use my new paper stack called Nana's Nursery - Baby Girl from DCWV. This selection of papers is just beautiful. Pretty colour combinations and glittery highlights. I can't wait to use it for Gracey's scrapbook pages. I almost didn't need to stamp at all with these beautiful papers. In the end I just used my gorgeous little babby(love this little cutey!) from Stampin Ups All In The Family set and added in some Pink Pirouette using the eyelet border punch.

Cyberstamp June - Challenge 3

Babies! Babies! Babies!

At the moment I feel like almost every second female I know is pregnant. 4 out of our 6 Mums at Mums and Bubs group are expecting their second child this year. My 2 bridesmaids are also pregnant and the list just goes on.......... Cyberstamp challenge 3 for June required that we use Baja Breeze, Kiwi Kiss, Kraft and Basic Grey in a card. I've used this colour combo in a baby card last month and couldn't help but use it again with the Urban Oasis Design Series Paper from Stampin Up. This time I was also able to use a couple of my new stamp sets, All in the Family and Occassions for All. Expect to see more baby cards over the next few months! Let's hope we get a mixture of boys and girls. At this stage I only know the sex of one of the bubs...A little boy for Jodie from Mums and Bubs Group.
