Baby Boy

I had to make a couple of baby boy cards this week. Now I don't find these easy to make at all...my last baby was stillborn in April, 2002, due to a Group B Strep infection and April is not the greatest month for me. So with that in mind and mother's day looming I had a pretty tough time making them.

I have to say though, that I'm quite pleased with the way they turned out. The rabbit image is a Messy Rabbit stamp from Joanna Sheen, while the stork image is from High Hopes. Papers are DCWV and the ribbons and embellishments are, as usual from my stash :0)

Petal's birthday

This card I made for my lovely friend "Petal" who lives on t'other side of the world....well ok, not quite, but pretty far away in the USA.

I used a design by Jo Kill from Papercraft Inspirations magazine cos it was so cute but I couldn't figure out how to make the photocopier print the right bit of the page while enlarging at the same time for the pattern, so I basically had to draw the pieces out, cut them and stick them and hope it looked a bit like a panda.

The patterned paper is Basic Grey and the cardstock is Coredinations. The sentiment was done using the free flocking kit that came with the magazine and the ribbon and the other embellishments are from my stash.
