baby boys and girls.

Two quite busy cards today.
The first one is for a dear friend
who had a baby girl called
Willow.
I love the beautiful photo
of her precious wee girl.

The crafty pad want something girlie.

~~~~~T~~~~~

The second one is for a girl at work
to give to her son who will
be one this week.
She asked for an A4 card,
and this is my first card this big.

I loved the backing paper but tried
to keep the rest of the card simple
so it wasn't too fussy,
the mum loved it,
but I am not sure about it at all.

I am entering it at Allsorts
who want a card for the boys this week.

Hope you are all grand.
Will leave you with a puppy cuddle.

too much to do.

I have done few things today,
to be honest I had so many
things that needed doing,
I wish I had more time to spend
on all the things I made.
Just how it is I guess eh...
Anyway.
First up.
This is for the Sugar Nellie Sketch.
and also Colour Create ~ baby pink & pastel blue.

These four note cards are for part of my
sister's birthday pressie.

This is for a friend at work....

I am entering it in
Allsorts Strawberries & Cream.
This drove me nuts! LOL.
I coloured the image in three times.
Luckily I had four copies of it
that I got in an image swap.


This is for a work mate
who's DIL has just had
a second daughter.
Matilda now has a wee sister
called Lydia.

This was something for my living room!
I love this picture so much.
It looks like the base paper is
really squint but it is not in real life.
Apologies for bad photo's
it is awful here today.

The above piece is A4 size and in a frame.
This wee one is a Thank you card
and much smaller.

Hope you are all fine.
Am trying to get to grips with
new net book and keep
making spelling mistakes
with tiny keypad.
I realized I signed a few blog posts
Love Tuna the other day.

Ach well.

Love Teen XXX

blue & brown

I really love Blue & brown as
a colour combo.

The blue squares with the flowers
cut out are the scraps from a card
I made here.

I stamped the shimery card
and used a flower punch.

I decided the scraps we too pretty
to throw away. It is a shame I didn't
punch it on the centre of one of the squares.

I am sending it to friends for
their Wedding Anniversary.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My second card is for my best mate
to give to her Dad.

The photo is her Dad and his best mate
taken many, many years ago!

Look at the hair!

She thinks he looks like Paul Daniels
so that explains the wording!


I really like this shape of card.
I have been looking to see if I can
find instructions to make a round
shaped one, but no luck yet.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I forgot how much work Puppies are....
*sigh*
I forgot how they like to dig,
pinch things,
chew shoes,
get up at 5am to go for a wee....

And how tired they get!!!

She looks too big for her skin here!
Her ears also need growing into!

This one is just for Mr Buddy....

Ok so she is NOOOOOOO where near as
muddy as the Budster got in his picture...
You need to see him to believe him!

Crafty Ribbons #4 Spring Time

I am so loving the Crafty Ribbon Challenges!
It has given me the chance to play with some beautiful Ribbons
and to use some colours
that I normally wouldn't go for!

This challenge is Spring Time

I so love the pale blue Butterfly one
you can see there!

they ask that in return for these lush
ribbons you send them two cards you
have made using the ribbons for that theme.

Anyway I have made three cards.....

I have used a button as the centre as Crafty Ribbons
sell buttons at Crafty Buttons too.

I have picked the colours out of the ribbon bow
for the flowers on this card.
I must admit the ribbons are wider
than what I normally use,
I love using thiner ribbons on my cards.
I have used a tiny piece of
orange Gingham in her hair.

This third card I have made using
a photo fron the Crafty Ribbons website.
It is flowers made from Ribbons.


I have really enjoyed using the
ribbon as the inspiration,
rather than making the card first and
then adding the ribbon as an embellishment.

I have also made a folded paper tag book.
I used chalk inks to burnish the mount board cover.

The colours of the papers inside are from the
flowers I cut out from the Ribbon.
Again I have used photo's from the website

including pictures from each
Ribbon Challenge so far
and a few extras I liked,
including the team at Crafty Ribbons.

I have left the tags blank so the
Crafty Ribbons Team can add some info themselves.

The daisy at the top of each tag is made from
a pearly vellum and a tiny yellow button.

I so LOVE the pumpkin orange ribbon on this!!!

I know this post contains a lot of photos
but I am so chuffed at not being last to complete
this challenge and they are in an envelope
ready to go into the post box!!!
