Life's special moments

I had a card to make for an upcoming birthday

and had absolutely no mojo at all.

So I went on a hunt for  a sketch and came across this one

over at Sunday Stamps.

As this is a December birthday I went with

rich shades of blues and pinks.

I have used a stamp set called Places in the heart (SU),

papers are from a Nitwits download called Pocake

and the images has been coloured with my markers

and some wink of stella.

I used my oval dies for main image.

Funfold card

This card was made for my May Newsletter.

It is a new fold for me and looks pretty good when decorated up.

This is a bottom view to show you the folds used.

I saw this fold pop up a few times while commenting on design team entries

and had it earmarked to have a go.

This one was made to welcome our new Granddaughter Aimee.

Brick layer effect

My tutorial today shows how to make the brick layer background

which you can see in my card above.

I used some scraps from my Bright and Beautiful dsp set

and thought it lent itself to a new baby card.

I followed the sketch over at Try a sketch on Tuesday

using Places in the Heart stamp set and a retired one

called All for Baby.

You can watch my video here.

New year, new beginnings

Our new challenge theme over at

TAG TUESDAY

has been chosen by Valerie and she wants

New Year/New Beginnings,

so plenty of options there!!

I decided to go with a new baby tag.

I used Places in the Heart stamp set

for both the image and sentiment.

Backed onto flirty flamingo card and finished

with a gem and a ribbon.
