Over at a A Spoon Full of Sugar this week we are asking you to make a Baby card. Now we understand this is something we don't all need to make so maybe you could make a card for a Mum to be, new Mum or Pre-schooler.
We have the above fabulous prize this week which has very kindly been donated by Lori from Scrappopotomus.
I have gone with the Pre-schooler option and made the above card for my niece who will be 4 in March. I have been dying to ink this new stamp which I got for Christmas. Isn't she gorgeous and is called Mermaid Anya. This stamp is from The Greeting Farm. I have also used one of my favourite HH sentiments. She has been coloured with a mixture of Copic sketch markers and Prismacolor pencils. I have paper pieced her outfit with the dp used on my card. I added a little stickles for some added sparkle. The gorgeous papers are Brenda Walton's Speciality for K&Company. The punches used are SU ticket punch and Martha Stewart embossed Zig Zag.
We have a great Guest Designer this week... Debbie - Passion for Crafts. I am a huge fan of Debbie's gorgeous work and if you haven't come across her blog before you must click the link! Thank you so much Debbie for your sweet comment on your blog and for all the wonderful awards you passed to me. It was such a lovely surprise yesterday!
Thank you to my dear friend Jakki for sending me the above gorgeous card. Jakki has been using lots of The Greeting Farm stamps recently and rocks them! If you get time do check out her blog!
I would like to thank sweet Heike for the above award.. you really spoil me!
The above award was given to me by a very talented 12 year old called Georgia. Her creations are beautiful and she has the most cutest blog header too! Please go and visit her and say hello if you have time.After my busy week I will now slow down my posts so see you in a couple of days with my High Hopes POTM.
Hugs,
