Baby Cards

Well I can finally show you all these cards. I made these for my friends that
where having babies. Now that both have been born I thought I would show
you what I did. I got these of another demonstrator who is very talented
sorry can't remember who, but I just fell in love with them.

As you can see there was a Boy and Girl.

Congrats to Kylie and John
on the birth of their beautiful
baby son Joshua

Congrats to Bec and Brad
on the birth of their beautiful
baby daughter Indi'Anna

Challenge Card

Well we have a Sketch Challenge over at the Just Add Ink website along with a colour challenge at the Play Date Cafe. So I thought I would try and do one card for two challenges this time.So with both the colours and sketch I set about to make my card. I used Basic Grey for the main card, and using the Top Note die I cut out some old olive, then used Pumpkin Pie for the final layer and just rounded the corners off with my corner rounder punch. I decided to emboss the main card so used the Elegant Lines embossing folder and then with a sponge I just lightly sponged some pumpkin pie ink over the raised image, I also sponged around the old olive cardstock. I also added some old olive ribbon which I braided through the bottom of the pumpkin pie cardstock. The sentiment I used is "best wishes" from the Silhouette Sentiments stamp set available for all hostess'.

Don't forget to click over to the other websites to see what other demonstrators have come up with. Some great cards and inspiration from all.

Thanks for stopping and hope you enjoy

Curtain Call Colour Challenge 65

Ok cutting this one abit fine, but managed to get one done for the Curtain Call Challenge this week. They have another colour challenge for us. So with that in mind I needed a card to say Thank you to a friend that did some sewing for me. This is what I came up with.

I thought the buttons die for the Bigshot would be a good start, as she did do some sewing for me. I embossed some of the buttons as well for some texture, Crimped the top right hand side and added one of the brights button, with some real red ribbon along the bottom and the sentiment says "Thanks so much".

Don't forget to pop over to the Curtain Call website for lots more inspiration.

Just Add Ink

Well Ladies it funny how things just come to you out of the blue. I posted a card yesterday for the Just Add Ink challenge which is just add Monochrome. I had fun with this challenge.

While sitting at my desk earlier I had some bits and bobs just sitting there and all of a sudden wham a thought for another card came to mind. A very good friend of mine brought the Tim Holtz antiques die and she brought it around for me to have a look, so I cut one out and the colour I grabbed which was sitting on my desk was Very Vanilla. I had the soft suede ink pad sitting there as well, so grabbed my sponge and sponged away had no idea what I was going to do with them so left them there for later. As I also had the new Crochet Trim sitting there waiting to be used. My wheel with the Very Vintage wheel was also there that I had used a couple of days before, I decided to go with a Very Vanilla card.
So that was my starting point:- Very Vanilla card, antique die cuts, crochet trim, soft suede ink pad, very vintage wheel. I love it when things just fall into place and once I assembled my card, I thought well there you go, I liked it so much and thought this will fit the Just Add Ink challenge (I think) so have decided to add this one as well as my other one.

So Ladies if you are lacking a bit of inspiration, a tip from me:
Have a look at whats on your desk, you just never know what you can do.



Hope you like my card and get a little bit of inspiration from your desk, just like I did.

Thanks for stopping by and if you have your own inspiration story leave me a comment as I might need to use it one day........

Its a Girl

Play Date Cafe Challenge 64

Ok another challenge for the Play Date Cafe. I know that picture is just great for a little of inspiration so this is what I came up with. The colours I chose to match the colours above are, Marina Mist, Kraft and Brushed Silver cardstock. I also used some Designer Series Paper, Elegant Soiree which I thought was a great match as well.
I got out my bigshot machine again and run through the Blossom Party Die a few times to make my flowers. I have used the new lace ribbon available in the Summer Mini Catalogue. The tiny tags are from Tiny Tags stamp set and the sentiment is 4 You.

Just Add Ink #51

Well yes I have another Challenge card for you today. I stayed up last night making the challenge cards and this one is a favorite of my Just Add Ink have decided to have a Theme challenge this week. Oh no what is installed for us this week. When I saw that they had just add MONOCHROME, I thought oh dear. Monochrome they say, well I thought and thought and thought a little more and decided to go with the obvious black and white

Here is what I came up with.

I have used well its abit obvious Black and White cardstock with the Because I care level 1 Hostess set. I also used the Very Vintage wheel in basic grey across the corners. I then adhered all the white cardstock onto black cardstock and layered them across each other. Then I put the Thankyou sentiment across the bottom. The Hydrangea is coloured in with my aqua painters in basic black and I did actually do 2 so that I could raise one to give a nice effect.
Not to sure about this one but all in all I think it turned out ok.

Don't forget to pop on over to the Just Add Ink site and see what all the design team came up with. Some amazing cards as always.
