Mama Mia!

One of the affects of working in a an all-women team is we have an awful lot of 'Leaving to have a Baby' cards. Thank goodness Magnolia have bought out this little scrummy beauty 'cause we have not one, not two, but THREE leaving this month to have their babies!

The pics are a little small but the papers were beautiful. The lemony/cream one is an old paper by Karen Neuburger - sorry don't know the name of it. The raspberry one is "Berry Pink" by Doodlebug and the orange is "Tangerine Swiss Dot" also by Doodlebug. The words are "Baby Wishes" by Woodware. Good luck Mamas-To-Be Emma, Rachel and Alison!

Sooooo Many May Celebrations.....

I have sure been a busy bee these last few weeks and I'm not halfway there yet!

Here goes the chocolate one - papers from K&Company and the flower from CUL.

Lilac Mother-to-Be one - image from Pink Petticoat, coloured with watercolour pencils, daisy paper - Making Memories, flowers CUL.  I used my Stampin Up! scallop edge too.

The "Freya" one - the topper was made at a Wendy Horrod class at CUL yonks ago - all with Quickutz.

The cupcake one - papers were free with a magazine (Card Making & Papercraft), cupcake is by Alota coloured with watercolours and some stickles, little Tilda normally carries a heart shaped balloon, but I cut it off, flowers by CUL and the large "30" is cut using Quickutz Roxy.

Little Lauren is a whole One year's old!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday to my littlest niece Lauren. The shoes are the Quickutz Baby Shoes & Pin die and cut from Pebblesinc Party Time Girl. I cut the shoes with thick white card and mounted the pink on them to give them more height. Backing papers are Fairest of Them All "Crowning Moment" and Bazzill Bling pink (no idea of shade, ask my mate SarahK she knows all the colours!!!). The little pink buttons are Pearls Perles Crystal Stickers. The font for the name is Quickutz Moxie. Pretty sure I got it all from CUL.

In true crafter's tradition - this card has been wallowing around my brain for some days now... shall I do this... shall I do that.... and then at 5am this morning I woke up, got up and made it!!!!!!

Ruby, Ruby Ruby Ruby.....

You don't know just how difficult it was to make this card.... I've been listening to the Chelsea v Barcelona game - gutted, absolutely gutted. I'm amazed I actually managed to get enough mojo to finish it...

The card blank is available from Crafty Caz and the red velour paper is Poinsetta from Making Memories which I bought at CUL. The big hearts are Quickutz die and the smaller hearts are from a Woodware punch.

Weaving dreams with Butterflies

I bought this beautiful Dreamweaver stencil at my recent trip to Ally Pally.   I used Dreamweaver embossing paste and loads of blingy glitter.

Stampin Up Party

I'm hosting a Stampin Up party on Wednesday 29th April at 7.30pm - all welcome! If you'd like details of where I live please email leave a comment and I'll get back to you.

Looking forward to seeing you all.

Ella-Bella is 4

Now my bestest mate Paula is a Nar-Nee to little Ella (Bella) - of course, she's much older than me 'cause I'm far to young to be a Nar-Nee to anyone! Ella (Bella) lives in Norfolk and has a lovely accent - hence the "Nar-Nee" (Nanny). Last year when Ella (Bella) was still a baby (at 3) I had to do an Angelina "Ballermina" card but this year when we're a big girl her card had to be something a little more fitting to a nearly-Princess....

The papers I used were Imaginisce Fairest of Them All - Be Back by Midnight, some pale green Bazzill, Fiskars ribbon border punch, pink organza ribbon, Quickutz Label, Flourish and Roxy alphabet - all from CUL. The "E" is a chipboard letter covered in the Imaginisce paper.
