Summer babies

Hello Everyone,

Hope you're having a lovely Sunday. The summer is finally here, how amazing is that?! Even with my growing bump, I am delighted! Thankfully, "summer" in Ireland mostly doesn't go in line with huge heat waves or anything, so all the pregnant ladies out there, myself included, can enjoy a lovely sunny weather without too much suffering :o)

It seems like "summer babies" is a bit of a common phenomenon as I have been asked for quite a few cards for newborn babies - love making pink and blue cuties! 

Today I am sharing a card for a little Lady made with a cute LOTV stamp (Baby Blanket). Some paper piecing, colouring, glossy accents & Wink of Stella later - this is what the card looks like. And, since it's summer, I decided to add some flowers, bling and butterflies, cause who doesn't love these?! :o)

I am entering the card into the following challenges:

A Gem of a challenge - Summertime

Inky Impressions - Summertime

Passion for Promarkers - No squares allowed

Inky Chicks - Butterflies

MAWTT - Inspired by a song (Security/ Don't wash my blanket)

Hope you are enjoying your summer, too!

Hugs,

M.

Finally back! :-)

Hi Everyone,

I am finally back! It took me a few weeks to unpack the craftroom, but I am now 95% done and ready to go again! Unfortunately, I have to share my room with the hubby now, as the nursery took over my husband's den, but we'll hopefully manage, LOL! Not 100% happy with how crammed everything is now, but hey - one has to compromise! I guess I was just very spoiled with the room all to myself! Here's to hoping we'll get a bigger house in a few years and I'll get some of my old space back... :o)

Today I am sharing a Father's Day card with you. Yes, it's that time of the year again! It's a little easel card, I hope the recipient likes it. I paper pieced this cute image from The Greeting Farm (love colouring and paper piecing these, it's so much fun!), added a little bit of Wink of Stella here and there (at the end of the day it's a masculine card, so not too much space for glitter!), and hey presto - the card was ready in no time! Well, maybe apart from the drying time of those liquid pearls around the card, LOL. 

I am entering the card into the following challenges:

QKR Stampede - Father's Day

I Love ProMarkers - Anything goes

Passion for ProMarkers - Masculine

A Gem of a challenge - Something blue

Hope you like it. Happy Father's Day in advance to all the Daddies out there!

Hugs,

M.

Shaker card for a child

Hello Everyone,

How have you all been? I hope all's fine with you? 

All OK here, although I have absolutely no idea who is stealing all those hours from my days - it's simply impossible that I still have all of the 24 of them to use?! My bump is growing, the big due date time is closer and closer... and yet I feel that even though I am trying to catch up on everything, I am still nowhere with all the stuff I want done! LOL... Well, I'm kind of getting there, I guess... Most of the house renovations are finished and the nursery is starting to resemble a nursery more and more each day, so maybe I'm not doing too badly! 

My craftroom, however, is still mostly in boxes! Gotta work on unpacking over the coming week or so! 

Today I want to share with you a birthday card I made for a little 2 year old - even though the card is for a birthday girl, I was asked not to make it in girly colours. And the theme was... SUNGLASSES! I decided to go for a shaker card, and have to say that I am quite pleased with the result. Simple, of course - you know me! - but sufficiently entertaining for the little one. Hopefully the birthday girl likes it, I know her mammy does! :o)

I wouldn't be myself if I hadn't added some Wink of Stella and some Glossy Accents, of course! 

I am entering the card into the following challenges:

QKR - Children's birthday card

Runway Inspired Challenge - Custo Barcelona

(that outfit would do with a shaker element in the "window", too, LOL)

Little Miss Muffet - Anything Goes

I will probably need another while before I'm back to regular crafting (unless someone does the unpacking for me!), so bear with me! 

Have a great week,

M.
