Baby & Birthdays

 Good Morning All

Back to Baby cards today.

All using LOTV Toppers and the first two are using scraps and offcuts too which is always good, makes me feel good anyway.

The paper on this one, I made into the focal point as it was so nice.

The card is Phill Martins texture paste in a sparkly blue colour, put through a stencil.  I cannot tell you how long that has been in the drawer waiting to be used!!!!

No Craft Group today as the shop is closed and we are going out for a meal.  We have 3 birthdays in Feb.  Eves was last Friday and the two Vals was on Wednesday, yes St Valentines day.  And Val C was 80 years young so we are going to celebrate all three.

Welcome to the New Year of Challenges with Crafty Friends and Moving Along With The Times.

I will kick off with Crafty Friends with a theme of

For me that means Baby cards and I have made two, one for a Boy and one for a Girl.

For this one I stenciled the background and added an LOTV topper cut with an Oval die from CE.

Again this is a topper from LOTV matted onto some lovely pink embossed card my friend gave me.

The sentiment banner I have had for years.

***************

Now onto Moving Along With The Times Challenge where the theme is

Use Kraft Card

 I made this card using a Stencil from Clarity stamp.

I didn't ink it I used a fine liner pen then I coloured using Nova Metallic  Markers.  Then I heat embossed the circle sentiment.

Please pop over to the challenge blogs to see the rest of the DT work.

Sun, Moon, Stars or Baby for Allsorts

Good Morning All

Allsorts Challenge time again and the theme is

Sun, Moon & Stars 
or 
Baby

I went with baby as this card was made for my eldest son who, along with his partner, was expecting their 4th child when I made this card

We didn't know if it was a boy or girl, hence the colours on my card.
She did have another girl  when I was there in July - Arianna Jessica-Lee

I used a topper from an LOTV sheet and cut it with a Nellie Snellen heart die. and inked the edges with yellow Distress ink.
The background I had already made from left over inkspray sheet.
A pink and a blue heart, boy or girl.

Brenda is giving this wonderful prize.

Introducing Arianna born 13th July at 7lb 2oz.
