I'm Getting There...

Hi Crafters,

A late share this evening of this frosty card. 

I think I have now finished all my orders for Christmas - it was touch and go as to whether I would get them all done I can tell you with a last minute bulk order coming in the other day. So I have been burning the midnight oil as they say and can now relax a bit, although I have two craft markets to do yet - Friday and Saturday. Whilst I've been making Christmas cards I haven't replenished my stock for my stall so guess what I will be doing tomorrow?

:o)

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.

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.

You're One In A Minion

Hi Crafters,
No that's not a typo..he he, it's the caption on these cards I made for a family member who loves Minions and the film Despicable Me.
Here's the line-up....

These were all made using different sizes of  Stampin' Up circle punches and rectangles of card, don't they look cute, I love 'em.  I hand drew the 'boonana' after I had printed the caption on to the yellow card, cut it out and tucked it into the front pocket of his dungarees.

Aren't they a cheerful bunch?
Well that's it from me for now,
See you later,

Lorraine

A Simple Thank You

Hi,

This card is also dedicated to the lovely people who have visited my blog since it began in August 2013, and left some wonderful comments. I really do appreciate the time taken to look and comment on my work and look forward to more followers in this year ahead. I have thoroughly enjoyed this little venture in to the blogging world and have encountered such friendly and genuine people along the way who are always willing to give advice and encouragement, so

Thank you !

 

Back soon,
