CFC#42 Hey Baby!

It's challenge time again over at CAS-ual Fridays and this week it's all about babies!

This was perfect timing for me as I attended a baby shower last weekend for a dear friend who is expecting a little miracle baby in the next couple of months. She doesn't know what she is having (I think the surprise at the end is worth waiting for) and her favourite colour is green. So here is the card I came up with.

I've used an A5 Ivory card base with Chocolate and Mint SB Essentials for layering. The stamps used are 4372KQ Baby Words Background and 4379KG BABY. I also used 1704LF Baby Verse 2 (Babies are Such a Special way to Start People) on the inside of the card.  These were all stamped with Shabby Shutters Distress Ink.

I love the way projects evolve when you actually sit down to make them. The original idea in my head didn't include ribbon and then once the ribbon was on the card I just HAD to add buttons! Very last minute but I am happy with the outcome. As usual, all products used are Kaszazz.

Enjoy your day and thanks for stopping by.

Until next time

A Sketch Challenge!

Hi there

Today I'm sharing something a little different. I don't know about you but I like to visit a few challenge blogs for inspiration. Although I have made cards following the criteria of a "challenge", I have never officially participated in said challenge. Well, I have finally done it.

It is a sketch challenge this week at CAS-ual Fridays so I thought I would give it a go. Why not pop on over and see all the gorgeous entries. You never know, you might just participate yourself next time.

Here is my humble little card.  As usual all products used are Kaszazz.  I hope you like it.

I apologise for the poor photo quality.  I have had a bad sinus headache all morning and I just couldn't get it right.  Add to that the rainy, gloomy weather and this is what I ended up with.

Until next time

A Card Share

Hi there,

I hope all of my Australian readers enjoyed their Australia Day holiday yesterday. It rained on and off here all day so our flag didn't fly however we did enjoy a BBQ for dinner ... boned leg of lamb marinated in mint jelly, honey and rosemary accompanied by a simple salad. Yum!

I thought I would share a card I created earlier this month for an 18th Birthday with a black and white theme.

I decided to keep the inside of the card simple and allow the handwritten message to take centre stage ...

All products used in this card are available from Kaszazz.

I hope you enjoy the rest of your day.

Until next time

A Little Bit of Creativity

I thought I would drop by and share a card that I made for Mother's Day last year. Better late than never right?

This card uses my beloved Distress Inks and the ink blending tool. I have stamped the butterfly directly onto the card and then stamped it twice more onto scrap card cutting the image out once and punching out the centre of the second image with the Kaszazz Super Butterfly Punch. I have then layered these onto the stamped butterfly. Not sure if the photo does it justice but I'm sure you get the idea.

Enjoy the rest of your day.
