A New Baby Boy

I made this card a while ago, in fact when I made the matching baby girl one as I just knew my friend on work was having a boy. I was prepared to make a girl one in case I was wrong but I wasn't lol.

I used my go to baby papers from Nit Wit and this fab image from Di's digi downloads, love the dino and dummy so cute. These do seem to be my go to baby image at the moment.

A Baby Girl for a change

Well last year was the year of the baby boy but it looks like baby girls are on the agenda for 2012. One of my work friends and his wife had a baby girl last week and I made this card for them. Last year everyone was having boys and they all knew beforehand so I had lots of time to make cards and like always I waited until the last minute but this year they are all waiting until the birth to find out, so I had to make a girl and boy version. I will show the boy version again though as am keeping it for someone else.

I used a gorgeous image from Di's digi downloads and had a blast colouring her in. I don't know about anyone else but I find pink the most difficult colour to match, I tried all my copic colours but none would match the nit wit paper so had to resort to mixing my own with the RV10 and R11, irl they look an identical match to the papers, not sure the camera picked that up though.

A Snippet Card at long last

Since my fall I have been unable to get around so decided to dedicate some time to sorting my mountain of paper snippets into a workable order. I bought clear pockets with a foldover flap and sorted my cardstock snippets into colour groups, red, yellow & orange, pink, green, blue, purple, white, black, brown and metallic. Then placed file hangers in the draw and put one folder per hanger. I then sorted all the printed paper into, men/boys, girls/ladies, christmas and neutral (gingham etc) and placed these in the hangers after the cardstock. Well so far this system is really working, I have made three cards all from the snippets draw and it was so easy to find the bits I wanted.

Onto the card, I have used a new image from Di's Digi Downloads, I bought this one and the girl version so expect to see this one soon. Coloured with my trusty copics and no glossy accents in sight lol.
