A New Baby!

Friends of mine had their baby yesterday after a very difficult and scary start to the pregnancy. So little Lucy has been welcomed to the world and I am so excited for them. My baby days are long over and I feel a sense of sadness at that. My boys' father was not there when they were born and I feel a little cheated that I was not able to have that special moment and that it is passed and never to be repeated, ah well, life has too much future to have too many regrets!

Mini Stationery Box

This is my new project! A mini Stationery Book, it's so cute, is it too big headed to say I really love this, living in a household of just boys I love that it is very girly!

When you first open it there is a little area to write a message if this is a gift to someone and a flap to pull it open further.

When fully open there are three sections, each section holds two little note cards and their envelopes.

I designed three cards and made two of each design to put inside the book/box!

So there it is, a turoial will be available very soon!

Bits & Pieces...

I have been dabbling a little here and there with crafting this last week or so, much of it is CASED, but some is my own. here is a sample of what I have been doing. The photos are pretty shocking with regards to how the colours came out, sorry about that!!!

This first one is just so easy, I used Confetti White card as the main card, it is slightly thicker than the Whisper White and has some texture and used the die, Beautiful Butterflies to cut out some butterflies and then embossed them with an embossing folder in the Bigshot.

The big shot seems a large outlay initially but it is so easy to use and so versatile it pays for itself quickly!

These next three cards were just in my 'have a try' folder on the computer, when I see something I like or inspires me I save it for when I have that elusive 'time' or if I purchase the stamp set. I am not sure who created these initially but they are so bright and fun I love them and wish I had designed them myself!!!
