It's a girl

Afternoon all

Well it's not a very nice day today so I am in my craft room again.

Hubby gave me permission to buy myself a Gemini machine as my eBosser

wasn't embossing very well so I wanted to try this gorgeous little

die to see how well it would emboss and I am so happy with the result.

My base card is approx 7" x 7" and I have layered it with

white linen card and Pink baby feet 1 card available from

"Limetree craft"

The giraffe die is one from China and you can buy it from

www.aliexpress.com I think it cost me about £1.70, I used

"Gathered twigs Distress ink" before I removed the die

The lace is also available from AE and I got 14yards for £7.50

It's a girl die is from "Sue Wilson Creative Expressions"

I added a bow and flat back gem also from AE.

Thank you for looking in and any comments you are kind enough to

leave as always are greatly appreciated.

Baby keepsake

Afternoon all.

Another lovely day for us here in Leicester, it's warm and the sun has been shining

so what am I doing in my craft room? I ask myself that sometimes

but I just love making all these lovely keepsakes, so here is another one

I made, this time I have made it with the hood up.

I have made this the same as before from the "Arty Farty" template.

I used white hammer card and double sided centura pearl card, the handle is made

from a plastic drinking straw.

I have added peel offs to make it look prettier and the lace is a must.

Added some ribbon, put some netting inside the pram and that's it!

As always thank you for looking in and any comments you are kind enough

to leave are always hugely appreciated.

Baby's 1st birthday

Afternoon all.

Well it's a beautiful day today & we have had sun for most of it, that is a 

rare sight these days.

My gorgeous little great nephew will be one year old on Friday so i am 

sharing the card I made for him.

The base card is approx 7" x 7"

I have layered the card using Blue Centura pearl and white linen card

The train die I have used is from "Marianne design"

I have used gorgeous white lace from "Arty Farty" to edge my

center piece of card.

The ribbon has been printed using my new

"Brother P-touch Embellish" and i have added

some pearls for decoration.

Thank you for looking in and any comments

you are kind enough to leave are always very much appreciated.

Twin baby keepsake

Hello everyone

Well I was thinking the other day what can I make then I had a bright idea,

what about a pram keepsake for the expectant mother of twins.

Good idea except it took a while to make it with all the fiddly bits but I think it was

worth it in the end.

I made this using a template from "ArtyFarty Designs"

they are very easy to use and there are written  instructions as

well as step by step pictures.

I decorated the hood with some lace and also the pram

centre apron.

I bought some lovely material from "The Range"

and placed it inside the pram

There are step by step instructions for making the box as well.

I had to finish it off with my favourite Dies

"Poppystamps triple stitched bloom"

Thank you for taking the time to look at my blog and any 

comments you are kind enough to leave are as always greatly appreciated.
