A quick post!

Just quickly wanted to share 1 of the many baby cards I"m to make. It seems there's a baby boom on at the moment!! No and don't go looking at me! lol. They are lovely to hold though ;)

I made this one a litlle while ago and just waiting for that right gift to accompany the card in the post!

Hummm, don't mind the little bit of bling that decided not to sit right on the butterfly will you? lol. I'm a little ashamed to say I hadn't even inked up this cutie before but I've made it all right with the universe now, haven't I?

I love the bib bling which reads "Spit happens". hee hee.

What a trip to school this morning!! My little girl and I both got absolutely drenched!! I had to make a trip back home to get her some dry clothes for school. In the meantime my runners are drying out. Do you know how uncomfortable it is squelching around in your runners?? We're both dry now and ov course it's only a light shower out there now. School pick up time I'm sure will be a different story!!

Anyhow, so much for a 'quick' post. Sorry (:

Keep dry and keep creating, Kylie ox

"Baby Love"

The only thing to get excited about on a Monday is a challenge for all the crafter's out there at Pollycraft!
It's even more exciting this week as it's my turn to choose the theme!

With all the chat about babies and our very own DT girl Emma due to have her baby in only 5 weeks, I thought I'd set the theme as...

"BABY LOVE"

My sister has also just had her baby, a tiny, tiny bundle of baby blue!! Hopefully my scheduled post here has worked and I've made the trip to visit them and having snuggles as you read this. hee hee.

*no, haven't left yet. :( They're still in hospital after a little trouble but both are doing well now*

I've used one of the images from the fairly new Baby Love Collection.

I've already completed a baby boy card for my gorgeous new nephew so I thought I'd do a 'pink one'.

I loaded it full of flower power added some lace, a bow, pearls, charm, butterflies with some trailing liquid pearls. I'm so addicted to this stuff now! So much so I didn't add an old favourite of mine....a button!?

I also put some glitter on the flowers but it hasn't turned out so well in the picture.

I know I say this every Monday, but really? Monday again already??? Where the heck are my days going to?
There is always one good thing to look forward to on a Monday though for us crafters and that is another Pollycraft Challenge!
This week our very talented boss lady Paula has given us all a sketch to play with. I just love sketches and this one is just awesome!

I've created a card for you using one of the newest images in the Pollycraft Shop. This one is called Super Star from the Little Stars Collection.

The little sentiment I've added to the middle of the star is from one of our teamie's blog, Marit. She has a heap of great sentiments over at ther blog here.

Oh and yes, it has some buttons of course and a cute litte ABC charm from my stash!

Heres the sketch for you.

its an 'in house' prize this week...

Pollycraft Challenge #55-"Fit for a Princess"

This week's challenge over at Pollycraft is to make a card "Fit for a Princess".

Pollycraft's own Princess, Ria, set this weeks challenge for you all.

Here is my take on the challenge.

My card isn't the 'traditional' kind of princess card but it was made with a princess in mind.

Congratulations to Nikita and Scott who welcomed their first child into this crazy world of ours, Eva Maree.

The dp is Grace Taylor, doilie, lace and charm are from Tickled Pink Stamps,flowers from Bizzy Becs and the buttons and ribbon are from my stash.

Our sponsor this week is The Creative Cottage. You get to choose 2 kits!!

Can't wait to see YOUR princess creations at Pollycraft this week.

Don't forget the Pollycraft Summer SALE over at the store NOW!!

It's a boy!!

We got to welcome a new addition to the family recently. No, I didn't make the new addition, but I did make the card! lol.

As you can guess, the baby is a boy!

I got to ink up this little cutie called 'Ashton' from the CC Desings,Baby Buds collection available at Tickled Pink Stamps.

Kellie challenged us to use buttons so who was I to argue?? I luuuurve buttons on my cards. The problem is, I NEED more!

I used spellbinder dies to cut around Ashton and also the sentiment. I coloured him with my copics (MY babies hehe)

There is so much exciting news at Tickled Pink Stamps so jump on over and check it all out. You don't want to miss a thing. Have you seen the sneak peeks?? Oooooh.

Baby Card

Hi there. A quick post today. Just letting you know I'm still here ;)

I've been busy. I know it's Autumn but I've been doing some 'spring cleaning' and some rearranging. I've given up trying to clean my craft desk. Even after making just 1 card, you can't see my desk! I work better in a mess so I've decided to leave it and concentrate on the rest of the house!

Here is a card I made for my dear friend and her family after having her 3rd child last week.

"Welcome Shelby"

I made this when my desk was clean and I just couldn't find anything! This is a Pollycraft digi image called Family. I've inked around all the edges and then did some faux stitching with my white gel pen. Something I haven't done in a while so it was good. I've kept this card fairly simple as Kerrie is a more contemporary kinda girl. Maybe that's why I messed up the edges a bit, you know, just to tease her :)

Well after all of that, it wasn't such a quick post after all!!

Hope you're all having a great day.
