Another Baby Boy ...

There seems to be a bit of a trend at the moment for baby boy cards at work, although the next two babies due are supposed to be girls, can't wait to get started on pink cards lol. I used this cutie image from Mo's Digital Pencil as they are so fab for baby cards.

I did make a bit of a mistake though I dropped the copic after I had coloured him in and made a bit of a mess of the circle he was sitting on, so I cut him out and placed him on an embossed circle instead and I must say I prefer it now, a happy accident.

I think I may need to take the picture again in daylight lol as it looks a bit weird.

Less is More 1000 Entries Challenge

I am so sorry for the picture quality tonight but I really wanted to enter the Less is More 1000 entries challenge. I have made 4 cards all almost identical and I will post them all one after another so I can enter them all lol.

I am always inspired by the creations I see out in blogland and have loved seeing all the LIM creations for a while but never dared to join in until now. I think it was Lisa's mammoth entries this week that made me pull on my big girl panties and just get on with it....

So onto the first entry....I saw these images on a card on Dustin's blog and couldn't find them anywhere so I asked him if they were for sale...and it turns out that the lady concerned had combined two of his images to create them so Dustin being the kind and generous person he is made three versions and offered them as freebies. thank you Dustin they are awesome.

It's just not cricket....

Before I say anything about this card I need to apologise for the pants photos, I finished this card late at night and needed to get it posted first thing in the morning so the light was awful.

You may recognise the papers and layout from the golf card I made a few weeks ago, I used the offcuts and as I liked the other card I decided to almost copy it lol. My friends hubbie loves cricket and as he is Jamaican the flag colours needed to be featured. I have no idea if the colours of the uniform are correct and no time to check I went with what I thought would look good.

I like to ride my bicycle...I like to ride my bike...

bicycle, bicycle....are you all singing along or am I the only one old enough to know the words lol.

I made a card just for fun woohoo, the crafting seems to have been one event after another recently and no time for a just in case card. I think I need to start planning ahead a bit more and then I wouldn't find myself with ten cards all needed for that week lol.

I love the cards Vicky makes and she is always tempting me with papers, images and bits so I thought I would make a card inspired by her. I have used a Pollycraft image and nitwit papers, I must confess to already having the papers but never using them together. The photo looks a little washed out, need to find a better place to take the photos.

I love brads and am just about to place an order from eyelet outlet, when I see them on the screen I can think of loads of ideas to use them but when they arrive I can't bear to, is anyone else like this or am I all alone lol.
