Hello again, I didn't think I'd be back this quick but I've just heard that a lovely lady has become a grandma for the first time so I had to get cracking on another card.

Another Baby Card

Well I'm back, sooner than I thought.  I was just putting my coat on to go to the shops and the heavens opened.  It's still raining now so I thought I'd make another card and go out later.  Just spoke to mum on the phone and she's invited me around to theirs for tea, yippee, no cooking for me.

Right I give up.  I've just been trying for the past half hour to upload a pic of my new card and just keep getting an error message.  I had no trouble this morning with my other card!!!  I'll give up for now and hopefully upload it later.

Woo hoo, finally.  It's only taken 2 and half hours to upload this pic.  Has anybody else had any trouble today or is it just a glitch with me?

We finished a bit early from work tonight and as nobody was home I found a bit of time to make this card.  Emily has gone to see Dylan Moran, a comedian at the Manchester Opera House, Chris has gone around to his mums and Stewart is goodness knows where.

Baby Girl Cards x 2

Do you remember me saying a while ago that there were a few babies due soon.  Well the Law of Sod has struck again,  I had 2 baby boy cards ready to go and you guessed it, its a girl.  Baby Isobel has arrived.  I had one card for the new mum already but still had to make 2 for the new grannies who |I work with.

Here is the first.

I am entering this card into a few challenges. 

A  Gem of  a Challenge - Buttons, Brads, Beads and Bows

Digital Tuesday - Punches

Totally Papercraft - Do it with Dig

Die Cut Dreams - Baby Girl

The cute giraffe is a digi stamp from Pink Gem Designs and it is coloured with Promarkers.  Sentiment is from Cuddly Buddly.

Here's my second card.

I am entering this one into a couple of challenges too

The Sugar Bowl - Sketch

I love Promarkers - Stitching

I have used this cute Sugar Nellie stamp 'Circle of Life' and coloured with Promarkers.  She looked a bit boyish so I drew a bow in her hair.  I guess that's what we do with real babies when they haven't got much hair, stick a bow on so strangers don't say aww what a lovely little boy lol.  Papers are Stamping Up and Basic Grey.

Another Baby Boy Card

Hasn't it been a funny day today, freezing rain this morning then sunshine and then rain again.  I've made another baby boy card today, love doing these.

I am entering it into the Sketch and Stash Challenge which is a lovely sketch by Vicky and also into Meljens Designs Challenge which this week is 'hearts'.

I have used this cute 'Little Donkey' image by Meljen and coloured it with Promarkers.  The papers are a digital download but I am sorry I don't know where from.  Can you tell me if you know where please.  The colours are crisper and brighter in real life but couldn't get a good photo.

Baby Boy

Good Afternoon, I thought I'd better get cracking on another baby card just in case it makes an early appearance.  The next one is due in about 2-3 weeks and I think this one will be a girl.  I already have a girl card but knowing my luck it will be another boy.  I still have to make cards for the grandparents.  I work with both the grannies to be, in fact one of them is the grannie of the baby that arrived a couple of weeks ago.  Fancy that hey, 2 grandchildren within a month of each other.

I have used this cute little stamp from Sugar Nellie 'Circle of Love' and coloured with Promarkers.  I have followed the sketch on The Sugar Bowl.  I am also entering it into the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp - Bingo, I have used the bottom line which is Punches/Diecuts-Embossing-Ribbon.

I love Promarkers - KISS - Keep It Sweet and Simple

Baby Boy Card

Well what did I say, I told you there were babies due right!!  Well one decided to make an entrance yesterday.  I made a baby girl card on Sunday so it had to be a boy didn't it.  I am daft really because all along I thought it would be a boy so I don't know why I made a girl card first.  I think the next one will be a girl, so we'll have to see if I am right. 

I have used this cute little giraffe image from Meljen's Designs and coloured with Promarkers.  The papers are Stamping Up, Ribbon and buttons from stash and sentiment printed off computer.

I am entering this card into Passion for Promarkers which luckily this week is baby cards and Simon Says Stamp Challenge - New Beginnings and Cupcake Crafts - Something New (thanks Denise), Top Tip Tuesday - Anything Goes

Penny Black Baby

My second card for today is a baby card. There are 3 babies due shortly so I thought I better get some done just in case they make an early appearance.  The first one I have made is for a baby girl (the pink gives it away lol)
