It's A Boy!!!

Hello to everyone in blog-land this lovely sunny Thursday evening. I wander if the Sun would be kind enough to stay for the weekend? Enough about the weather, get on with today's post.

A Baby Card for my Husbands friend from work, who recently had a Baby Boy.

Ingredients: 

 Card Base - Interactive Baby Boy Easel Card, from Clip Art Fairy

Image: Baby Fynn, from Digital Stamp Boutique

Image printed twice, then paper pieced stripe bath

Coloured using Promarkers and glitter

Marianne Creatables - buttons, (I used the Start shaped button)

Cord & ribbon

Wording done on Computer

And for such a Special Card, I made a box  which you can see below.

I had left over card, from the box, so made a matching tag, unfortunately the photo is not really letting you see the tag!

Ingredients for Box:

Bottom of Box:  white Card, 

Top of Box: Blue card

I used Cuttlebug embossing folders, swiss dots, to emboss the BOY letters which I cut using  Sizzix Alphabets.  I also embossed the tag with Cuttlebug Button  border.

Blue Paper Ribbon 

I am attempting to enter this into Digital Stamp Boutique August Challenge Blog (the last one I entered did not link properly, so fingers crossed).

Home Bakes

A treat for Saturday!

At least they look like scones, and even better they actually taste like scones.

My mum is an excellent baker, I thought I was clever and would make a batch of scones using a recipe I had copied from mum, however the scones didn't rise, in fact they spread so much that they all touched.  They tasted lovely.  I took a sample to Mum, to see where I went wrong!  Found out it was a recipe she had written in her book, but never tried!  When my dad saw them, he thought I did a "grand job" with my shortbread.  

I have practiced since then, and am so proud every time they actually look like scones.

Anyone for a round of Golf?

Good Evening, really I should be saying good night, and going off to my bed, but I had already typed up this blog, and somehow lost it, so determined to post something before I hit the land of ZZZzzzzz!

The brief for the Card, Uncle is 60, Beer or Golf!

So I opted for a few images from Digital Stamp Boutique:

Alf Playing Golf & Sports Accents - Golf Ball Accent

So here is a preview of the main image!

Coloured using Prisma Pencils

I printed a futher image, and cut out the Golfing Trolley 

and layered this using sticky pads, I did the same with the oversized golf ball!

The Finished Card!

BP is from Pink Petticoat, along with from my stash

Square Nestie 

and edges highlighted with chalk.

What do you think?

I am going to enter him into Digital Stamp Boutique August monthly challenge!
