Baby Boy Card

What wonderful weather we are having !!
So so nice outside. I have been out doing
stuff with my kids, and not crafted a whole
lot in the last few days !! To nice to be in-doors :)

Been busy doing other stuff as well...we tore
down an old storage building in our back garden .
And re-laid paving stones . Been doing a bit of
Spring cleaning in the house as well....went and
bought new nets for the windows ,and I am going to go
thru my kids clothes this next week...how do they
manage aquireing soooo many clothes !!! But not only
that...all 3 of my kids are going thru growth spurts
at the moment!!! My oldest son is 14 and if he grows
another inch..he will be taller than me :( And I am 5'9"
So by the time he is 16-17 he is gonna tower over me haha.
They grow up way way way to fast !!

Anyways , onto the card :)


I made this card useing the Pickles and Onion stamps,
From the Daisy and Dandelion stamp range.
Pickles is a very cute elephant. I really like his
big butterfly type ears :) And he was fun to colour.
I wanted the card to be simple and
not over powering since it is a baby card.

Items used :
Cream ,white cardstock
DCWV glitter papers
Glitter ribbon ,blue buttons and eyelets from stash
Sizzix texture plate

Stamp:
Pickles from Daisy and Dandelion range
I used WhisperStrokes markers as water colour on him ,
and also used Sakura glitter pens as watercolour
to give the ears a very soft blue sparkle.
Not sure if you can see it in the picture but
its very very pretty !! Sakura Glaze pens to do the eyes.

Thank you for looking :)

Sarah Kay Card

Today I sat and sat and sat.....looking at my cardstock and
paper, trying to get some inspiration to make a card.
The last few days have been hectic, washing around 12 loads of laundry......
Why do kids feel like they have to wear everything in their wardrobe ??
Our water tank overflow pipe was leaking outside so my
husband had to get into the loft and get that sorted out.
And to top it off , our sewer pipe backed up.....thought my
husband was going to pass out lol ....so we had to get that sorted .

So sitting today and trying to get some inspiration to
make a card ,when I really need a good cry was hard .LOL
But I did it :)
I looked thru my papers and found the pasley one .
Thought the colours were so bright and cheerful.
and I did things a bit differently today...I did the layout before
I coloured the image in . Most times I will sit and paint images
I have stamped......then put a card together .Alos, I have
not done the inside of a card before...most times I will just
print something off ,or put an insert in.
So it was different for me.

I really like the Sarah Kay stamps:Stampavie stamps,
and they are fun to colour.

Items used:
Papermania papers
Cream,blue, and green cardstock
Yellow glitter
Buttons from stash
Ribbon from stash
Flowers and brad from stash
