Baby Suit

Hi Crafters,
Hope you are enjoying the Holiday Weekend and getting plenty of crafting done.
We have had another new arrival in our family and I'd like to share with you one of the cards that I made. I got the idea from that wonderful place - Pinterest. I drew my own template after seeing these three cards on Susanne Hansen's blog.

I cut the shape from plain cardstock and used the 'Up, Up and Away' papers by First Edition to make the top layer. Then I stamped the sentiments with a Clearly Besotted stamp set 'Baby Love' on to the banner and punched out the oval plaque with Stampin 'Up punches. The buttons and enamel dots are from my stash and the faux stitching was drawn using a green glaze pen by Sakura. I think it turned out really cute.

Challenges I'd like to enter:

Scribble & Scrap - Anything Goes #19

TTCRD - Anything Goes

Sister Act - Anything Goes #58

Creative Fingers - Anything Goes #37

Brown Sugar - Anything Goes #95

Diva's By Design - Anything Goes

 

Bye for now but will be back tomorrow to show the other baby card I made for my Mum to give to the new parents.

I'm Back !

Phew, it's been a busy 2 weeks. I've been beavering away in my craft room almost non stop since my last post trying to finish everything on an ever increasing list of Christmas cards, commissioned cards, and a Christening album. The latter is what I would like to share with you today. The Christening was yesterday so I can safely show pictures now.
Just a warning, there are quite a few....

The front cover

The album was made from chipboard and all the pages were covered with papers from the 'First Edition - Up, Up & Away' 8 x 8  pad.
I used silk ribbon and heart buttons for the binding and the flair button came in a set from 36 Shades of Flair .

I did some fussy cutting and made a raised photo frame.

 

Inside front cover has a pocket and gift tag.

First page has a verse

Next page - I've fuzzed out the name and details

Space for a photo, it just tucks under at the corners

Space for photo and journaling

Page for Godparents

Page for family photo

Page for guests photo

more photo's and journaling

Back cover

 

I was really pleased with how this turned out, it's only the second mini album I have made and I learnt a lot from the first one which made this one a little easier.

Well I will be back tomorrow to share some of the Christmas cards that I have been creating and maybe enter them in a challenge or two.

TTFN,

 

Lorraine
