Nursery Necessities Baby Shower

I made this card and journal for my friends baby shower a few weeks ago. I had the photos all ready to go for my blog-just needed to find time & energy to post them!
I copied the idea of the card from an old Stamping & Papercraft magazine, the ribbon unties to open up to the middle of the card. I've used the new baby set-Nursery Necessities, using my Soft Subtle markers to ink up the separate parts of the boat. Below is a photo of the card with the Journal:
I've used some Flavia paper to decorate the cover of this Journal, then paper pieced the boat-copying the boat stamp used in the card. I just need to put Bub's name on the Journal now he's arrived safe and sound!
Charlie arrived Sunday 17th August. He's such an adorable little boy! Congratulations Kirstie & Dan! I'll be back to post his birth card soon-hopefully!!!!

Apple Cider Cards

Well, here are the cards I promised last week-a bit later than expected. My youngest daughter, Meg, and I have had the tummy bug so I've been out of action! I'm happy to say that we are almost back to full health, just building back up our strength now. Anyway, here they are:

These 3 cards have NO stamping-they all are made using the new 'Apple Cider' Designer Series Papers and many Stampin' Up! punches. Very simple yet stunning cards. I really love the colours in these papers. I've made a few more cards using them today. When they have reached their recipients I'll post them on here. I'd hate to spoil the fun of our card swaps, I love the anticipation and excitement of happy mail!
