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.

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.

Baby Boy Keepsake

Evening all.

After I posted my Baby girl keepsake my friend saw it and asked

me to make one for her niece who is expecting a boy, so here I am sharing it with you.

I used the template from 'Artyfartydesigns' the same as my last post, the only thing

I changed was the card. Instead of using papers I used card from Lime Tree and I also 

made a pillow for this one, I have applied loads of bling to it and added some 

'Poppy stamps Triple stitched blossom trio'

I also made a pillow for this one, I downloaded a template

from Pintrest and added a bit of lace round the edges

Plenty of bling

The cot end pieces look effective with the 

die cuts I have added

Thank you for looking in and all your comments are

always very much appreciated
