Well, it's nearly Monday...

Ok, I know I said I'd post Monday but I didn't anticipate getting home from V Festival quite so late/early. I really should have booked the night off work!

I had such a fab time, but have you ever tried walking for more than a few hours in wellies??
Ouch! Feels like I've been on the treadmill for 8 hours straight... and I'm sporting a rather red and shiny forehead with burnt hair parting.. haha I really can't complaint though it was soooo good, seriously the best time I've had for a while!

Anyhooo, here are the thank you cards I made for my sister.
They are using Nursery Necessities and the sentiment is from Trendy Trees.

I punched out a circle from the blue layer and popped up the little elephant.

The fancy frame outside the word window punch is a fab little creation which I learnt from Jo D.
You can see it here, very creative!

I like to stamp a little coordinating image on the envelopes to finish them off!

And on a personal note, I can't get enough of my little nephew. Just look at this little sweetie!

He's so adorable I could spend all day just watching him!

Ooo, and before I go there is a mere 8 sleeps before we as Stampin' Up! demo's get to see the new catalogue! I can't wait for pre-order and be prepared for some sneaky peeks soon, eeekk!!

Thanks for stopping by,
take care.

I am still here...

... just a bit pre-occupied with my little nephew!!

He is just perfect, such a little sweetie and is soooo good!

I'm a very proud Auntie and will be spoiling him rotten!

Right, here's the card I made for the new parents - I love making baby cards but don't really get a chance to send them so I've kinda used all my baby stamp sets on the one card lol.

I've seen a few baby cards with little babygro's on a washing line and couldn't wait to give it a go.

Background is from Queue Up, Babygro is from All for Friends (Level 2 hostess) and sentiment is from Nursery Necessities.

I've made some little birth announcements too and will share them soon.

Thanks for stopping by,
take care.

Stamp with us challenge.

Happy Sunday everyone!

Here's the inspirational picture from SWU.

And here's my take on it:

I loved the bright colours with the white, so I decided to do some actual stitching. I know, the sew-a-phobic got the needle and thread out..!

I cheated a bit though, I took the mat pack and paper piecer to put holes in the card and then went in with the needle to pull the thread through.

I added a co coordinating button and stamped a little birdie from Nursery Necessities and a sentiment taken from Fun & Fast Notes and embossed them in white.

I hope you like it!
