This weeks challenge over at Delightful Challenges is

PEARLS & SWIRLS!

this week we are being sponsored by Crafty Ribbons just look at the fab prize you could win!!

Two of my friends are due to give birth to baby girls next month, so I thought I would make a card for one of them....I have seen this fab fold of card quite a lot online & a few times on C & C!! So I asked my trusty hubby & he made me a template (if you would like a copy please email me!)

I will apologise now for the photo overload, but I think you will understand why after!!

This is the card standing up!

This is the inside of the card lying down!

A close up of the super cute 'Little Dumpling!'

Right this is the gate fold part which bends forward, so the side panels are the front of the card & the duckies are the back!

A close up of my flutterbut!

This is whats under the digi image flap thingy bit! lol!!

This is a close up of the inside, I decided it would be a good idea, as then its not just a card but a keepsake as well!

Hope you like it!

Stroppy Madam!

This is my second post for today please scroll down to see my DT card for Sparkles!....

Well I decided today I really just had to have a play with my new stash...I managed to use one of my new LOTV stamps & my new punch system thingy lol!! Which is just fantastic & as I have arthritis in my wrists & hands I was a bit worried about being able to push down, but its so easy!!!

Just need to get my hands on some of the corner cartridges then I can do the round the page things!!!

This image is so like our KT stroppy but just gorgeous!

When I came to stamp out an image today, I couldn't decide on which one to use, so I asked Nige (he had to mount them up for me, I can't cut through the u-mount stuff.....so he had seen them all last night whilst he was doing that)

he said do KT!! lolololol so I did!

Peter Rabbit!

This card has been made because whilst I was talking on the phone to Hazel (didos) about stuff we buy & don't use!! Yes I'm sure we are all guilty of that with this hobby!!! lol.....I went to the NEC last March & got the set of Crafter's Companion Peter Rabbit stamps & since then I have only used them once!!! Well my gorgeous hubby overheard our conversation (must remember to talk about crafty stuff when he's at work!!) & told me no more stash until I start using what I've got!!! Well I can't really complain as I don't work or claim a penny, so all my stash is paid for by him!!!! So when he gets home this cute little card will be put somewhere so he can see it!!! I just hope using this one stamp changes his mind, because I really want the new Gorjuss Girl stamps, well at least a couple of them!!!

Also some fab news I found out today my Sick Henry card that was ment to be C&S, has made me a winner over at Tuesday Trio
