Craft Your Days Away - Doilies and Lace

Morning!!

Hope you are all ready for the weekend with your wellies and raincoats... where on earth has our summer gone??

So it's time for a new challenge at Craft Your Days Away. This fortnight the theme is Doilies and Lace, and has been set by the lovely Berit.  There is a super prize for this challenge - which is a selection of doilies, lace and pearls!


Here's my card:

I made this card a while back as my friend was due to have her baby and I wanted to personalise it - but the baby is now 13 days late so I've not been able to yet!!  It seems like the baby is well and truly settled in.   I think she's off to the hospital tomorrow so hopefully she won't be kept waiting to meet her baby much longer!  But if you could all send the baby some pain-free eviction vibes that would be great!  I suppose it's only a good thing that the weather has been so rubbish - being hot and very pregnant in the summer is no fun!

The papers are from a First Edition stack called Sweet Owl and the digi is from Pollycraft.

So why not pop along and join us, there are some fab creations from my teamies for you to see.

Thanks for looking!

Baby Boy

Evening all!

Here's the card I made last week for our friends who had a new baby.  I thought my little boy was pretty huge at 9lb 9oz - but their little boy was 11lb!!!!!!!!   How amazing.  I'm sure they're going to be fab parents!

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Cupcake Craft - Bright as a Button
Sassy Cheryl's - Anything Goes
Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes
Southern Girls - Oh Baby Baby
Stampin for the Weekend - Show us your style (cute, and fairly simple)

Thanks for looking, have a great week!

Happy Bird-day!!

Evening!

It's my very lovely Mother-in-Laws birthday tomorrow and here's the card I made for her. Tonight I've heard some wonderful news that some friends have had a baby boy so once I've posted this I'm off to my craft centre (read dining room table) to make a lovely new baby card tonight.  

How cute is that bird paper - I'm pretty sure it's a single sheet from Echo Park. The cute charm is from the Ribbon Girl website!

Fathers Day

Morning!

It's nearly the weekend - Yipee!  We've got a weekend of visiting various relatives planned - which will be nice.

I spent yesterday helping my little girl to stick blue tissue on a empty pringles tube as we are making a desk tidy for fathers day.  Wish me luck that she's feeling cooperative to finish it off today!!  Here's the card I've made for him on fathers day:

The image is from Pink Petticoat - I've had it quite a while (years in fact!) and never used it - but it was perfect for this.
