Not Another Baby Girl Card................!

'Fraid so! My daughter's in-laws have just become grandparents again to a baby girl. Their eldest son lives in the USA and his partner has just had a baby girl a few days ago. Poppy is quite excited about having a new little cousin!

Isn't it funny how you think, well I did, that using die cuts will be quicker than colouring an image. Not true! That pram is the devil to cut out. I had the die back and forward through my Cuttlebug a few times and it still had bits that weren't cut through. I cut out a few while I was there and the last one was just perfect..........till I broke the handle. Well I couldn't send a card with a pram with a broken handle to Poppy's other Gran and Grampa could I so I think this one is ok!

I used :-

Pram die :- Marianne.

Heart die :- Memory Box.

Pearls and nappy pin charm :- Hobby House.

Sentiment :- LOTV.

Ribbon and bakers' twine :- Ribbon Girl.

Heart doily from stash.

If I need any more baby cards I hope it's for boys! I've got plenty of baby boy cards in my box.

I think this might fit the challenge at Bunny Zoe's which is Pink and white.
And Charisma Cardz :- No DP.

Must go now and see if I can get my DT card made for Saturday.

Thanks for looking, catch up soon.....I hope!

Baby Girl Card.

I think I may be jinxed. I've left this a bit late as usual and when I finished I took a couple of photos and put them on the laptop and then uploaded them to blogger and decided which of the two looked best. Neither was actually that good but it is evening! Then I realised that I hadn't added the 5 jewels I meant to put under the ribbon. So I've deleted the first photos and tried again.

Not sure if I'm too late for the Mojo Monday challenge or not but I liked the sketch and I need a baby card. This is handy because the Cupcake challenge is a baby card and the Cute Card Thursday challenge is New. The Sohisticat challenge is fancy borders and I have done a heart border and the Spoon Full of Sugar challenge is hearts. The ABC challenge is L for layering. Lastly the Papertake Weekly challenge is new beginnings. I think I am probably too late for some of these challenges but the card will do for a friend who has a new grand daughter.

I used some lovely DP from Craft Creations, which unfortunately does not photograph very well! The cute little image is from Stampendous and I coloured it with Promarkers. The lovely scalloped card is from Craftwork Cards and I cut the border with a Martha Stewart punch.

I'd best shoot off now and do my ironing as I suppose I need to go to work tomorrow. Hope you all had a lovely weekend. It seems to have passed very quickly. I don't suppose tomorrow at work will pass very quickly. I'm really keen to get in among my new stash but I've been too busy this weekend. I've had a look at the 2010 Hero Arts catalogue that I treated myself to. That may have been a mistake as I can see more stamps I would like lol!!

Take care in this snowy weather and keep safe and warm. Hope you can find time to tell me what you think of my efforts.
