Birthday Card for Oldest Twin

Image
This card uses a lovely digi stamp that I got from Saturated Canary Unfortunately this digi shop has now closed. The image is coloured with my spectrum noir trimarkers  Then matted onto a piece of yellow card as was the sentiment I used a woodware stencil, with yellow and orange inks to create the border My sister doesn't like ice cream so I thought this sentiment was funny  as shes older than me so to tell her that she has aged  because she didn't eat enough ice cream amuses me.

Reason for not Blogging ~ I became a Naughty Nanny

Image
I am sorry for my lack of posts. Skip to bottom of post if you want to see my make. My daughter and son in law had this little bundle of mischief on 11 Dec 2019, let me introduce my grandson Alfred. His birth ended up as a C section, but both him and my daughter are fine, he was a very healthy 9lbs 3ozs. I was with them all through it and saw him as soon as he was moved to the recovery room, truly a magical moment. As we have funny blood in the family they didn't want to take any risks with DD so I was travelling down to their house every evening after work to give a double dose of blood thinning injections. Anyone who has had these will know they are quite painful injections to have.  Alfie also had a 100% love heart tongue tie, he gained weight well with my DD feeding him but was choking and getting quite frustrated. So he was assessed then 5 days later had his tongue tie corrected, his still learning to move his tongue properly but is doing really well.  S...

Taggy Blanky

Image
I had some squares left over from the quilt so thought I would make a taggy blanky for my friends baby as well. These are basically soft blankets with lots of different textures. Firstly I made the 12" x 12" patchwork square with the leftovers from the quilt. I have a box that I keep all my snippets of ribbons in that I snip off from clothes, gifts etc. This came into its own to attach lots of assorted ribbons to the square. I backed it all with a piece of minky fabric that is so soft to touch. Everything was secured into place by running a couple of rows of stitching around the edge. This is for the following challenges: Pixies Snippet Playground ~ use your snippets Allsorts Challenge ~ Something for Baby Simply Create Too ~ Anything Goes   Thanks for looking

Hubby's Birthday

Image
For my hubby's birthday I brought him new glasses. I wanted a Card to reflect this and saw one like this on google no thought I could do that! I stamped the glasses and cut them out. Then used word to create the 'age test'. I then put a bit of blue card on my card base and then 'eye test'.  The glasses were mounted onto 3D foam and placed at the top. This is a quick and simple card but I am pleased with how it worked out.

This card uses a lovely image from Bugaboo . It is coloured using my Chameleon pens and then matted onto a piece of green card. I then used a scrap bit for the background.  I think this is the last piece from a pack I brought from QVC ages ago.  I had a couple of bits of the glittered floral paper left so used them at the edges. I finished it again with a sentiment from a old scrap booking kit I had brought.

At last I have some time to craft and blog. After my daughters wedding and then her house purchase, we have been helping them decorate and get their house sorted. Whilst we did that to surprise me my son decorated our now spare room and moved all my craft stuff in, so I now have my own room for crafting in - how lucky am I. This card uses a pre coloured image from Charmed Craft that at I have had for ages,  the charmed digi stamps where the first stamps I used when I started using digi ones. It is simply printed onto the card and then the text added using word. Inside the card the verse says Scientists have discovered that the longer people stay married, the more they begin to look alike. You better start putting name tags in your underwear!
