Baby Shower

Hello,

I had the pleasure of attending a friend's baby shower on Saturday afternoon, so of course I had to make a card to go with the gift. I used this weeks layout challenge from Inkspirations for the inspiration for my card. Here is the layout challenge:



I knew that I wanted to use some patterned paper in the background so I decided on which paper to use first then picked some colours to go with it. I didn't want the card to be over the top baby, as that is not me or my friend. I was quite happy with what I came up with.

Alice turns 2!

Our lovely God Daughter, Alice recently turned 2 and of course there was a celebration in honour of this event. I thought I would utilise the Inkspirations Colour Challenge as an inspiration for the card for little Alice. Here are the colours:



Here is the card I made, I used a technique that was shown at the Stampin Up Convention, double cut butterfly by the lovely Kirsty (hopefully there will be more about convention later).



Kirsty also showed us a gorgeous butterfly banner, which I just had to make for Alice.






Of course there was cake to be had and then fun on her present from her mum, a trampoline. Needless to say Alice was exhausted after all that birthday fun and I am told she was that tired, she took herself off for a nap!

Tim and Alice go in for some birthday cake.
