Another Welcome to the World!

Hi Everyone!!
Another baby card! Another friend has just had a BEAUTIFUL baby girl! Can't keep up with these baby cards at the mo! Not that I'm complaining - they give me an excuse to work on something sweet and overflow with the cuteness factor LOL!!

This card uses the Midnight Madness sketch #35 & Sweet Stop Sketch (basically the same this week), and is that adorable Penny Black hedgie image - Baby Hammock.Thank you to Kris (Stamping in Kansas) for sending me these cuties!
I've used CM cardstock in Clay and Pink Lemonade, and the dp is also CM from a n/a customer gift.
I couldn't resist a bit of sparkle, with Yellow Stickles on the daisies, Waterfall Stickles on the butterfly, and Stardust Stickles on the tips on the flowers.
The Kaisercraft flowers, a few little pearls (thanks Janice!!) and tiny pink ribbon finished it off. :)

Sweet Lulla-bear

Hi Everyone!!
All my friends are reproducing like Wildflowers... so I need some 'Baby' cards!!
I decided to do a Baby Boy card first, because it seemed to fit in with some of this weeks challenges! (Yep - I've got the bug now!)
I used  Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge #55 (MTSC55) with a cute little image from a stamp set my sweet DH picked up for me, called PaperCraft - Bears, which I coloured with Prismacolour Pencils blended with Baby Oil.
The base is coredinations cardstock, with some designer paper from my stash as a background for sleepy little ted. I had to handcut the mounted circle behind the bear because I didn't have one that didn't look rediculously too big LOL!! The punch I used on the left is Fiskars Effervescent, and the Coredinations Vintage Cardstock was sanded a little for a slightly distressed look. The wide blue ribbon didn't quite look right on it's own so I popped a strip of brown down the middle.
I finished it all off with Stardust Stickles, a button and ribbon, and a couple of chocolate pearls!
There are so many Challenges at the moment for "something new" that I thought I'd see how many I can cover with this card LOL!!! Here goes:

Sparkly Polar Fun!

Hi again!
I made this card for a combination of the StampTV Sketch Challenge and Sparkle Creations 2010 Christmas Card Challege Week #4 (see how GOOD I'm being - I have such grand intentions!! In my dreams I have all my Christmas cards finished by Christmas and I'm not panicking at the last minute..... ahhhhh dreams!!!)

Anyway, this cute little guy is from Angel's Landing Digital Stamps - Polar Pals. This is the first time I've had a chance to use any of them and they are so sweet! I did 2 little bears, the second up on dimensionals to make him really stand out ;)
The background is Cuttlebug Embossed Snowflakes, with Stickles Stardust to make it all sparkly.
I used Prismacolour Pencils and Baby Oil for colouring, Coredinations cardstock for mounting, and Kaisercraft Chocolate Pearls to finish it off!
I'm also entering this card in the Digital Tuesday Challenge #39 Winter Dazzling Diamonds, Dare U 2 Digi Stamp Challenge 28 - Last minute Christmas cards, Fussy & Fancy Challenge 1: Something New, and Stamp Something - New Somethings CHALLENGE!
 Phew!

OK - now I need a nap LOL!!
Thanks for looking!!

Hello!!!
Well now I hope my Followers don't fall off their chairs! A CARD!! Yes - so far I'm sticking to my New Year's Resolution! YAY!!!

This card is for the Colour Challenge on StampTV, which was Pink, Brown and White. I used the Caardvarks New Year Kick-Off Challenge, with an exclusive sketch by Becky Fleck for inspiration.
The scallops are hand-cut (shapes made with an eggcup in lieu of a punch LOL!!) The top paper is Basic Grey Bittersweet, and the bottom is SU designer brown stripes. The base is Creative Memories cardstock. The ribbon is actually very thin pink stuck onto a brown side-stitched ribbon, with Kaisercraft flowers and Chocolate Pearls to finish.
 The Label is made with Nestabilities - Petite Scalloped Ovals, small, and Petite Ovals, small, and the sentiment is from the Papertrey Ink set Mixed Messages.
As the scallops are hand-cut I'm also including it in the Scrap and Stamp Cutting Challenge, and the colours also fit right into the Etsy Inspired Challenge - the cute little Muffin Tote is Pink, Brown and White!
Oh... and as it's for a friend who's just found out she has a little bundle on the way, I guess that counts as a "New Beginning" for the Stampin' for the Weekend" Challenge!

Thanks Janice for your help in getting me motivated and into the swing of challenges!!

I'll be back soon with - yes!! - another card!!
