Finally A Few Cards

Sorry I know I have been slack. I have been creating but just don't have time to do everything! Well last Friday was Laurel's 11th birthday and here is the card I made for her.


If you look closely you can just see the Dazzling Diamonds on the love heart eyes and one tooth. Every girl likes bling right! Here is what I used:

Stamps: Just Jawing

Paper: Pixie Pink, Whisper White, Unknown DP

Ink: Basic Black

Accessories: DazzlingDiamonds, Ribbon, Brad

The next card was for a challenge over on Our Creative Corner - to use blues and greens to celebrate Summer. Well it is definitely not Summer here - it's freezing but I joined in the fun anyway! This was also using this weeks sketch (TESC118) from Taylored Expressions. It does look a little washed out in this photo though.


Here is what I used:

Stamps: Circle Circus, On Your Birthday

Paper: Soft Sky (retired), Whisper White, Kaisercraft Spirograph DP

Ink: Soft Sky (retired), Certainly Celery

Accessories: Kaisercraft Rhinestones, Dimensionals, 1 3/4" Circle Punch, 1 1/4" Circle Punch, 1 3/8"Circle Punch

This next card was for Inkspiration Sketch Challenge #29. Cindy is hosting this week as Makeesha is OS and she challenged us to use something from our stash. Now I love paper. I buy heaps of it but then I just admire it from afar and don't like to cut into it. So my challenge now to myself is to use those hundreds of sheets of beautiful paper I have! I have had this paper with the matching brads for ages and I think it is just perfect for a teen girl.

I have also been practicing those fab faux bows from the video tutorial by Teneale Williams - I finally did one I'm happy with! Here is what I used:

Stamps: Just Jawing (inside)

Paper: Old Olive, Whisper White, Skull Girl DP by Kaisercraft

Ink: Old Olive

Accessories: Skull Girl Brad by Kaisercraft, Old Olive Ribbon, Embroidery Thread, Pink Pirouette Button, Dimensionals, 1 3/8" Circle Punch

Hope that keeps you going for a little bit and happy stamping!

A New Addition and A Challenge

Well I had a little blogging hiatus. Was a bit busy producing a new son! Archer Thomas Byers arrived into the world on Tuesday 11th May at 4:02am. He was born by emergency c-section as things got a bit hairy there for a while. He weighed 3.6kg/7lb 9oz and 51cm long. He is just beautiful if I do say so myself and is just like a mini Oscar I think. Here is a picture of him with his dad just minutes after birth.




Archer is such a good baby that I have even had time to do some cardmaking! Decided to join in with this weeks sketch challenge over on Taylored Expressions (TESC113) to make this card for my nephews birthday which was Monday but I'm sure they will understand if its a little late (hope).


Here is what I used:

Stamps: Lots of Bots

Paper: Pacific Point, Whisper White, Unknown DP

Ink: Pacific Point, Staz-On Black

Accessories: Circle Scissor Plus, 1 3/8" Square Punch, 1 1/4" Square Punch, Dimensionals

I paper pierced the robot with some of the DP and then coloured him with my Stampin' Write markers. He is very cute I think.

Hope you have a stamping day,

Bec
