AS You Like It Challenge (DT) Favourite Occasion

 Well hello, how are you diddling?!

I've been on annual leave from work this week - you know, this wet, windy, stormy, week.  Oh well, not to worry, it's been a great excuse for some additional crafting time (grins).

Anyhoo, this time over at As You Like It Challenge the new theme is

Your Favourite Occasion (any why)

As I get older, there are fewer and fewer times this happens in my circle of friends now, but I do love being able to make a new baby card (even though I'm allergic to children) - it's a good excuse to go extra cute!

This is one of my most favourite baby stamps, it's an old rubber one from Lili of The Valley, no idea what is called, but I have used it several times.  I know the little chap is most readily identifiable as a boy, but I have coloured it up in pinks and lilacs before now and it works equally well for a girl.

I really am rubbish, as I can't even tell you who the papers are by - could be Echo Park but I'm not sure any more.

I can tell you that I painted with Distress Inks (ReInkers) though!

Our sponsor for this theme is

FANTASTIC RIBBONS

I do hope you will be able to pop over and share your favourite occasion card with us.

Hugs

Happy Birth Day

No, it's not a typing mistake, I really did mean Happy Birth Day.  My mate at work has become a second time grandma and I made this to celebrate the birth of baby Jack and his safe arrival.

I have entered it as a twist on the Happy Birthday theme on the Lili of The Valley FB Challenge (1-14 May)

I think the stamp is perhaps called Special Delivery but it is one that I forgot to write the name of on the packet when it arrived.  It is most definitely LOTV though!  (EDIT: "Just Arrived")

I have painted with Distress Inks (ReInkers)

Papers are from an el-cheap-o pad that I bought from The Works, but they

seem to be ok and certainly cope with wet glue so I may well get some more

Die-Namics Double Stitched Circle Stax die

Die-Namics Stitched Sentiment Strips die

Crealies Double Dots Squares die

Tonic Scalloped Squares dies

Clearly Besotted sentiments from their baby stamp set

Stars done with a shaped hole punch

For a simple card it seems to have a lot of ingredients!

Anyway, my mate was thrilled and she has had it on display on our reception desk

all week for everyone to see, even our clients, bless her

Hugs to all
