Hello again, I didn't think I'd be back this quick but I've just heard that a lovely lady has become a grandma for the first time so I had to get cracking on another card.

I have used this really cute digi image from Meljen's designs Giraffe's Necktie

Coloured with Promarkers.

Ribbon - Meiflower

Pearls - Home Bargains

New Baby

Good morning everybody.  Where does the time go.  It's been a week since my last card.  Tried to do one at weekend but I started with a cold Thursday and by Saturday I was feeling right sorry for myself so did absolutely nothing all weekend.  Feeling tons better now though.

My card today is for new grandparents.  The grandad works with Chris and the baby is due in a couple of weeks.  They know it is a girl hence the colours.  It better had be now!!  I am going to try and get a card done for mum and dad later but need to pop out to the shops first or I'll starve lol.  Chris is away again for the week, in Barcelona this time so we didn't get to do the weekend shop.

I have used these cute digis from Meljen's Designs and coloured with Promarkers.

Backing Paper - Nitwits - Pinky Swear Too

Sentiment - Clare Curd Stamp Set

Border - Memory Box Die - Charlotte Border

I wasn't going to put gems on but splodged the ink so had to cover it up, oops!!

Pocket Gift Card Holder

Good Afternoon everyone, don't know what's up with me today but I feel absolutely shattered.  Think it will be an early night for me unless I get a second wind.

My card today is my weekly Christmas card.  The first challenge I'm entering has been set by the ladies at Bah Humbug.  This week they have asked for a card for a teenager.  I always find this age group the most difficult to buy presents for and usually end up giving them money or a voucher so I have made this pocket card which could hold either.

The backing paper has been printed directly onto both sides of white card.  It is a digi download I had saved but the site I got it from is no more I'm afraid.  The images are both from Meljen's Designs.  Frosty and Let it Snow.  You can download Frosty here.  I've coloured with Promarkers.  I've cut the mats and tag using my nesties and added ribbon from my stash.  I've added a few pearls and glamour dust to the swirls and a small blue brad to the tag.

I am also entering it into the following challenges:

Another Baby Boy Card

Hasn't it been a funny day today, freezing rain this morning then sunshine and then rain again.  I've made another baby boy card today, love doing these.

I am entering it into the Sketch and Stash Challenge which is a lovely sketch by Vicky and also into Meljens Designs Challenge which this week is 'hearts'.

I have used this cute 'Little Donkey' image by Meljen and coloured it with Promarkers.  The papers are a digital download but I am sorry I don't know where from.  Can you tell me if you know where please.  The colours are crisper and brighter in real life but couldn't get a good photo.

I am also entering this card into:

Fab n Funky - Delight in your Digi

Baby Boy Card

Well what did I say, I told you there were babies due right!!  Well one decided to make an entrance yesterday.  I made a baby girl card on Sunday so it had to be a boy didn't it.  I am daft really because all along I thought it would be a boy so I don't know why I made a girl card first.  I think the next one will be a girl, so we'll have to see if I am right. 

I have used this cute little giraffe image from Meljen's Designs and coloured with Promarkers.  The papers are Stamping Up, Ribbon and buttons from stash and sentiment printed off computer.

I am entering this card into Passion for Promarkers which luckily this week is baby cards and Simon Says Stamp Challenge - New Beginnings and Cupcake Crafts - Something New (thanks Denise), Top Tip Tuesday - Anything Goes
