My Gorgeous Great Niece Denni,Nappy cake & card

Was just tidying up my photos and realised I hadnt posted the card I made for my gorgeous niece Denni born in September on the same day that my twin nieces have their birthday , she was a bit early so we had to wait a week to see her as kids are not allowed in the hospital unless they are siblings , my daughter wouldn't allow me to go see her I before she could!!   Here is the card I made 

 

a wee side view with a glimpse of the inside

the image is from bugaboo and the papers are from craft creations , some velvet ribbon and and a few pearls on some punched flowers, the sentiment is LOTV .  Below is a picture of the nappy cake presented in a basket of baby goodies we gave her

and the wrapped version in the basket

She is just a wee cutie but the title Great Aunt makes me feel so old but then my sister in law is a granny 4 years younger than me!

Thanks for looking K x

Louie with Bear Baby Card

Have coloured little Louie from Digistamp Boutique and his bear with prismas, and used downloaded papers from Pink petticoat , had to keep this one simple as it was asked for at really short notice, but I think I prefer it simple , the flower I think was from Dovecraft, I know they were a bargain.

One sheet does Plenty!

One sheet does Plenty !

Think I have gone a bit orange and red loopy with my snippets and I got a  little carried away, these are the rest of the cards made with just one 8 x 8 sheet of design paper by Craftwork Cards,I didn't waste any of this sheet, the only waste was the over cuts from the punched out shapes that were so tiny I couldn't punch out another butterfly or flower,  very thrifty!!

  so these will be my third entry into the Less is More Challenge and also for Jules Snippets

and here are some really didi 99 x 96 cards by Craftwork cards with the tiniest of snippets

 

And the last red & orange ones are here although I dont think this will be the last time I use these colours together as they are autumny ( is that even a word) but quite fresh and zingy too!

 now I am off to do a lovely card for my friends birthday on Friday

and Congratulations

Less is More Challenge 40 Red & Orange & Snippets

Got a bit carried away with this once I got started as I had made one card with some orange paper then remembered that the Less is More challenge  40 challenge was red and orange so did one for that here

This was the original card that I had made with just orange which I cant make up my mind if I like

then I decided I would use up the whole sheet of paper which was 8 x8 and made the grand total of 13 cards from it (not including the card blanks ,I will post the rest later when I have photographed them, but her is another one using up some snippets so have decided it would qualify for Jules craft snippets challenge

I now try to use up my snippets for smaller simpler cards and put into packs of ten , as my scraps drawers are bursting at the seams and it is such a waste of beautiful papers.

Anyway enough of my ramblings off to see what you have all been up to and have a baby card to make 

love K xx

Cool Dude! and a Strange Request!

It was my lovely daughter Rhiann's 9th birthday yesterday so not had much time on here as I was organising her party etc , will post her card later.   

Have a couple of cards which I forgot to post, one for my nephew and this image is strangely very like him. The next card was a request for a tomboy 40th who plays xbox war games but loves pink!!! here is what I came up with......

I made a matching money wallet and envobox for it to go in which was not easy as it was larger than an 8x8 card. I think I covered the request my friend was happy with it anyway.  He has now asked me for a baby card with something x boxy on it ????? watch this space , you dont have get some funny requests when you make cards I had one last week for an engagement card with reference to the 9th hole at Turnberry as that was where he proposed! oh well happy to oblige! lol 

ok I,m off to visit you ........K xx

I have entered this into the Squiggle Stamps - Thanks challenge I hope it qualifies as its thanksgiving , I am sure they will let me know if not .
