Baby Leo's card

Good morning all,

I'm still on cloud 9 following baby Leo's birth.  We saw him on Saturday and was lucky enough to have the pleasure of his company Saturday night when his mummy and daddy came round for tea.  They were both shattered as he had kept them awake most of the night.  We didn't see him yesterday as he went to his other grandparents house but, on catching up with Nikki yesterday he kept them awake again Saturday night.  Not too sure about last night as not spoke to her yet.  I am going to take as much of this week off as I can to be on standby should Nikki need anything but both her and Lee are fantastic parents already.

So being a crafter I just had to make card didn't I and this is what I came up with....

Its using the Little Additions stamp set and the colour combination is Marina Mist and Crumb cake.  I have also used the markers for the little elements on the card.  I have embossed the background with the SU polka dots embossing folder.  Inside, and I forgot to take a picture :/, I used the information stamp from the set to record all little mans details.  Mum and dad loved it.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog, please leave a comment as I love to read then.

Good morning,

I have been meaning to start my cleaning for the last 2 hours but I keep getting distracted, at this rate nothing will be done by the time hubby gets home....lol

I haven't had a chance to make a card yet today to show you but, luckily, I have one that I made for my daughter last weekend when we went to her "housewarming" party.  Now she's lived at this house for nearly 3years but was sharing it with her friend.  The friend has now moved out and her partner has moved in in readiness for the baby arriving so, in theory, it was new to them.

Anyway enough waffle from me, here is the card:

I've used the  Little Additions set to make this card along with the top note die and the perfect polka dot embossing folder.  The main colour combination is Baja Breeze and Crumb Cake c/s and Springtime Vintage  papers and seam binding ribbon from the mini. 

Thanks for stopping by and having a look.  Please leave a comment as I appreciate any feedback :)

Baby Frame

Yesterday I had a day of crafting at Victorias and it was a great day, so relaxed.   We didn't make cards or scrapbook pages this time but a 3d frame.   There were five of us, including Victoria, and we each choose the colour scheme we wanted to work with.  The colur schemes were blue and brown, purples, neutrals, pinks and mine was lemon and beige.

We all had different ideas as to where our pictures were going to be hung once completed and ranged from the kitchen, craft room etc.  Everyones' frames turned out brilliantly and pics were taken by Victoria, she may blog them at some stage so pop over to her blog and have a look.  Now mine was for our new addition expected in July, hence lemon and beige.  It was sooooo easy to do and I have now ordered the same frames so that I can do a similar class with my ladies at some stage.

So here is my attempt.  Several sets were used:  Little Additions, Just Perfect alphabet set, Trendy Trees, Bundle of love and lots of pearls and punches.

I can't wait to see Nicola and Lees' response to it, I hope they like it and will hang it in the nursery when its done :)

Thanks for looking and please leave a comment.
