Baby Onesie Card!

Hey everyone!

Well just the other day my mum asked me if I could whip up a couple of cards for two work colleagues that were both leaving on Maternity Leave {must be something in the water over there…….remind me not to work there…LOL!}. I have one completed and I will show you that one today…..the other is in progress and I will show you that one when it is completed. It will be the same style just different colours. My mum over saw everything that I did {just in case} and stayed up late with me to complete it. I might do something on the inside yet…we will see. I might be overthrown by the matriarch!

It is nearly the height of an A4 piece of cardstock, so it is quite large. It was required to be big enough to fit 60 signatures. I found the template at Cards by Karlum. Go and check it out because there are hundreds of different templates you can download. The only thing I changed was the back piece. I rounded it to imitate a real onesie. What do you think, was it a good idea?

I am very happy with how it turned out! I’m pretty sure the mums to be will like it too.

Just Add Ink Challenge #3

Hey everyone!

I have decided this will be my weekend to create. I wonder how long it will last. LOL! Just Add Ink is a new blog started by some fabulous Stampin’ Up! demonstrators and have a DT to die for! They have a challenge each week. So far there has been a colour and a theme challenge. This time round it is a Sketch

This is the first challenge I have been able to take part in and I had fun. Without further ado……here is my submission-

I just had to play with some more of my new stamps. Can everyone also see I played with Cameo Coral? As you all know not one of my faves ……but  alas it is growing on me. Well I hope you all like the Eye Candy and I’m off to play with some more challenges.

Inkspiration Sketch Challenge #18

Hey everyone!

I am sooooooo tired today! I had a workshop last night. You may remember from my last post that we were doing a double 12 x 12 Scrapbook LO! I had heaps of fun and so did the girls. I was very impressed with their creativity. As all scrappers know, one LO may not suit another set of photos. You have to take into consideration theme, colours and position. So the girls last night changed the LO to suit their needs. Some of them had Christmas photos, others holiday shots and the rest had gorgeous photos of their children. I was very proud of them. They all did a fabulous job. But that doesn’t explain why I came home with aching muscles and sore feet. I think I must be doing a little too much lately and not getting enough rest. I will sure to be on to that this weekend. LOL!

Well now it is Sketch Challenge time! Have a look-see,

I originally thought of sweet treat cups. But alas I need to buy more. That means I am onto my fourth box since they became available to me……..I must like them! What do you reckon?!

But I did just receive a new order today and decided to use all my new goodies-

I’m loving the Good Neighbors set. I will be playing with that some more. I also bought for myself the Chit Chat rub ons and the Valet ribbons. OOoooohhhhh Choc Chip satin polka dot. My five favourite words. LOL!

Inkspiration Inspiration Challenge #17

Hey everyone!

This week challenge was a toughie for me! I kept thinking that the SS Bird on a Branch would be perfect but alas I do not own it! Isn’t that always the way?! So I had to put on my thinking cap. Oh my that hurt!! LOL! I decided I would turn my submission into a Dinner Invite. But first take a look at the challenge pic-

Here is my interpretation-

What do you think? It is very simple, but that is the idea as they are invites and I like to keep them simple. The colours are Chocolate Chip, Creamy caramel and Whisper White. The stamp sets used are Fifth Avenue Floral and Sincere Salutations. I used my Choc Chip marker for the border and it was drawn free hand {note the crooked lines LOL}, but I like the effect.

To get more creative juices flowing here are the links to the rest of the DT

Crazy for Cupcakes!

Hey everyone!

This is the last card that I have to show you from the ‘all nighter’. Now it is nothing fabulous. It was the last card I created and I’m pretty sure the ‘lazy lids’ were starting to kick in! LOL! I totally adore this set. I might even get it for myself yet. Like I don’t have enough!!!

Here it is-

I coloured in the cupcakes with blender pen and crayons. i then used the Two-way glue pen on the icing part and sprinkled some Dazzling Diamonds on it just to jazz it up a bit.

Well tomorrow is Inkspiration Challenge time. I will be spending the rest of the day playing with that. And don’t forget the HUGE prize giveaway to the Winner and the Honorable Mention. How totally awesome is that?! Keesh is super generous! Also the DT is helping to pick the winner. So I best dwindle my list of fabulous creations down. It is going to be tough.
