New Arrival...

Hi there, today I have an A4 Shadow Frame Box that I did for my lovely sister who last week welcomed the arrival of their first child, a baby boy named "Harry"... He was born though at 34 weeks, so just a little earlier than we expected, but he is doing great and everday gets just a little bit stronger... I also made her a "Nappy Cake" aswell, but as you can see from the photo it was in unisex colours as my sister did not know the sex of her baby and I had bought the items 3 days before he decided to make an entrance...  Anyway here they are, sorry about the photo of the frame, it didn't matter which way I tried to take the photo it always had a reflection from the glass...



Thanks for looking...

Sorry for my absence...

Gee whiz doesn't time fly when your havin fun... not... I'm sorry I haven't been here lately, with 2 kids sick then myself then my husband, then with just everyday life, it hasn't left much time for anything else... but I have manged to make a card for my sister's birthday last week...

My sister bought herself a 'Cuttlebug' not so long ago, so I thought I would borrow it and try it out... you know to see if I myself would like one... lol... Anyways I did try it out and I just love it... Christmas Wish List I thinks...

So for her birthday I bought a couple of Cuttlebug Embossing folders and used one on her card (I had to make sure they worked...lol) So here is her card...


As you can see I used "swiss dots" on pink cardstock mounted on white bazzill. I then used a couple of flower dies she had from "Papertrey Ink" and cut them from leftover corrugated cardboard, felt and tulle then placed them together with a button and embroidery floss and placed small brads on the smaller flowers. The saying was stamped from "Papertrey Inks" 'Everyday Button Bits" stamp set with black ink on white bazzill then hand cut into shape.

I'll try not to be so long between posts next time... (fingers crossed...)

Hope your having a nice day, thanks for looking...
