Great News

You may have noticed I have been very quiet the last week, that is because my darling sister has been in a long labour and has jus given birth to my first Neice Emily Mary Pearson.

She was born last night at 7.01pm and weighed 7lb5oz. I can't wait to snuggle her :)

Daddy Day

Hello again,

I come again with todays 2nd card.
This is one for my father in laws birthday.
As you all know doing cards for men can be any crafters worst nightmare!!!
I did plenty of searching for inspiration and came across this stunning card by Aimes

And here below is my take on it.
I based my colour palette on a challenge going on at InStyle Stamps.
I know fall isn't such a big affair in the UK but I still love all the autumnal colours and the warm fires and crunchy leaves ... mmmmmmmmmm.......

Inks and Things: None this time! Gosh!
Papers: Lots!

Yellow panel: Dots from Pink Petticoat
Gingham in Dad and background: Pink Petticoat
Background Dad Letters: Dots from Pink Petticoat (Sense a theme)
Stars: Dots from Pink Petticoat

Odds and Sods: Twine is from stash as are buttons!
The sentiment strips are from Pink Petticoat, a new addition to my collection, they are awesome!!

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Instyle Stamps: Colour Challenge
Papertake Weekly: 3 of a kind (3 stars, 3 buttons)
Cards for Men: Birthday

I hope you guys like it!
Lots of love to you all

Having A Whale of a Time!

Good Afternoon Crafters!
Guess who is back :)

After a horrendous week of illness I am finally on the mend and back with some cards!
This first one is for my dear old uni housemate who is 30 today!! Haha!

He loves all things nautical so I wanted to initially do something with a boat on! However after looking around for inspiration (Thank you to Split Coast Stampers gallery) I settled on a whale!

My card is based on an awesome sketch at Friday Sketchers

What I did though was turn the sketch on its side! Now... what you have all been waiting for::





































Isn't it so so cute! Not really looking like a 30 year olds card! But none the less, it might make the strain of turning 30 a little easier on him :D

Here are a couple of close ups!

































Now for the ingredients

Stamp: Whale and Baby (Which i edited) from Whimsie Doodles

Inks and things: Paper pieced the whale, Blue ink for the sea background, black ink for the sentiment and black outline pen for the faux stitching.
Papers: Kraft Paper (from Stash) the two coloured background panels from The Creative Cottage
Odds and Sods: Bakers string from stash and Eyelets from my Crop-a-dile :)

Hope you like it! Hope he likes it!

I am entering this into the following challenges::

Friday Sketchers: Sketch
Stamping with the dragon: You Got Ink (blue sea background and the Ahoy There)
Papertake Weekly: 3 of a Kind (3 little eyelets)
Cards For Men: Birthday Card
