Lions

Hello.

This is one of those cards that was just made for the sake of making something, so I don't really have anything to say about it. The paper is from the Safari Kids mat stack which I got for my birthday, so that's another to check off the list of birthday presents I have used. That list might take a while to get through. I am definitely one of those crafters who hoards things, especially paper pads.

Welcome to the world.

Hello.

James' sister is due to give birth any time soon, so I have made this card as a congratulations for Keeley and Mick, and as a way of welcoming Thomas into the world. Because this is a scheduled post, he may already be here by the time this appears on my blog. James and I can't wait to meet him. We will be going to see Keeley on Sunday night, so hopefully Thomas will be here by then.

Thomas was written using the Fun Alphabet set by Papermania. The rest of the sentiment was written using an Elzybells alphabet. The animals are Snag 'Ems by Imaginisce. As well as the three on the front, there is this Giraffe inside the card.

Couple of birthdays

Hello.
June is a pretty busy time for people I know having birthdays, so there will probably be a few birthday cards showing up on here over the next few days. Here are a couple that I made yesterday (I need to stop posting at 1 and 2am). I'm not sure yet who they will be going to.


The first card started out as being based on this weeks SCS sketch challenge, but I ended up changing it. I think you can still kind of tell where the inspiration came from.

The sketch:

This one is for the free for all challenge on SCS, which is to use the spotlight technique. I don't have any image stamps big enough to do this technique properly so I thought I would give it a try with paper. I love how it turned out!

A close up to show the writing a bit clearer.

Panda love

Hello.
Just a quick post before I'm off to see my friends.- I love you is from 'worth repeating' by Stampology.
- The Panda is by Imaginisce, and is one of their snag'em stamps.

Mint choc chip

Hello.
I had a few bits of paper and ribbon lying about on my desk so I thought I would use them on something and this is what I ended up with. The lighting is a bit off, because it's really cloudy today.

- The Ice cream stamp is by Imaginisce.
