Baby card

Hi all

Last wednesday, we welcomed my new niece Isabel :) She's adorable, little pink and has loads of brown hair, 7 lb 7 oz and is just beautiful! So obviously, I had to make some baby girl cards. I've been making them all through the year in advance, but I made one more the other day :) 

I bought loads of baby images, and I couldn't resist this adorable baby from Some Odd Girl, I think it's just the cutest little thing!
Those big eyes are just fantastic :)

Ingredients
Dies - Spellbinders hearts and scalloped hearts; circles and scalloped circles
Medium - Promarkers
Border - Martha Stewart Border Punch
Ribbon - Ribbon Girl
Lace - Ribbon Girl
Wooden Letters - Bunny Zoe's Crafts

Birthday card

Afternoon everybody

Well...it's been the most up and down week of my life I think haha, loads of really good things, and really bad things happened this week, so I don't know whether to be happy or not lol. I got a new niece, she's so cute :) Isabel is her name. Not going into the rest, it's complicated and not so nice!

Anyway, I made a card on Saturday for my pilot friend, who's an absolute legend. He's one of my oldest friends and one of the nicest people on the planet! I made him a card for his 16th birthday lol, I think the new one is slightly better :P Here's the one I made him then:

The upside-down 21 is the runway heading at our local airport, it's not just random numbers lol.

And here's the one I made for him over the weekend. I saved it til today to put up, as Lili of the Valley are having a Birthday Blog Hop and Birthday Card Competition in honour of their 9th birthday! So this is the card I've entered in :)

I think Andrew was suitably impressed with my improvement over the years lol :)

Blogaversary Candy

THIS IS A STICKY POST - please see below for my latest posts :)

Happy blogaversary to me, happy blogaversary to meeee...etc. 

Today is my first blogaversary. Yup. AND I have 99 followers. 

This is very exciting for me - I want to thank each and every one of you for actually clicking 'follow' on my blog - that makes me so proud that you actually made that effort, just for little old me. And on top of that, for always commenting on my creations and for making me feel special and like I have made something that even though I rarely like it, that maybe, just maybe, it's actually not too bad! 



So I'm doing a blog candy giveaway for you lovely people, I haven't got all the bits together yet so there's no picture, but there'll be a die, some ribbon and other nice things that I hope you'll like. 

I don't like rules so there's not many. 

In fact, pretty much the only thing I ask is that you're a follower, or become a follower, of my blog. If you want, you can put the picture in your sidebar, but you don't have to - this candy is to thank all you lovely people for following me, so I'm not too bothered about advertising it. 

Add your name to the linky then, and you're done :) It runs til Feb 14th and I'll pick the winner sometime after that. 

So thank you for your support, and good luck :)
