Happy Father's Day ... Grandad...

Here's the second card I made for Eli to give his Grandad.  It had to be a quick card as at the moment as you can imagine crafting is not very high on my priority list and it's way below the very important task of cuddling Eli.

As on my card yesterday I've used an image from the Forever Friends CD simply matted on to nestie scalloped and plain circles.  The base card is one of the large scalloped circles folded in half that I bought at Stamp Magic last Sunday topped with yet more of the fab paper from my Makin Memories paper pack.

A really quick card, but I think Eli's Grandad will approve.

My card is also for the challenges at...

• Little Red Wagon - for Dad (or maybe Grandad)
• My Mum's Craft Shop - spots and dots
• Papertake Weekly - Dad's and lads
• Cupcake Craft Challenges - boy oh boy

Off to do some shopping before going for more cuddles now.  Have a great day all and thank you for all your wonderful comments about how cute Eli is.  If you didn't spot the photo check out this post right HERE!  Ah how cute is he?  I'm one very biased Grannie!

Happy Daddy's Day...

Here's the card I've made for baby Eli to give his daddy on Sunday.  I took it to show him today and he really gurgled so I think he liked it.  Mind you at 4 days old I suppose it could have been wind causing the half smile and little gurgle!

I used the fab sketch at Sketch and Stash as a starting point for the design importing the Forever Friends bear image into Craft Artist to get it the right size.  The striped and plain card are by Makin Memories.  Love their paper packs.  The stars were cut out on my Cricut machine at the one inch setting and of course I used the Swiss Dots folder to add texture.  I really must use some of my other folders as I have so many, but always seem to reach for the same one.

Here comes a long list of challenges as nearly everywhere are asking for Father's Day cards so here goes...

• C.R.A.F.T. Challenge - Father's Day
• Craft Us Crazy - Father's Day
• Paper Play Challenges - Father's Day
• Alphabet Challenge - Father's Day
• Come and Get it Challenges - Father's  - eek no - it's green, brown and blue!

Phew that's enough for one card methinks.  Will be back with Eli's card for his Grandad tomorrow.  

Have a fun day all.

Whoops forgot to say that my new stash (for Sketch and Stash) is the paper pack by Making Memories.  It was a bargain buy from Craft Superstore and is just fabulous stuff.

Baby Boys are just so darn cute...

Well as a new Grandma I just had to create a couple of baby cards didn't I?  This one was inspired by designer paper from the DCWV Nana's nursery paper stack.  I've only got the small pack so was a little bit restricted by the size I could make the card.

It's quite an unusual colour for babies really, but I think I like it for a baby boy.  I created the washing line using chopped down barbeque skewers and resized the little digi baby grows on Craft Artist before adding the text.

Wouldn't it make a great card for twins - two pink - two blue - or even a mix I think would work really well?

My card is for the following challenges...

• Craft Your Days Away - Monochrome
• Crafty Emma - Inspired by a Movie - Baby (grows) day out!
• Poodles Parlour - Anything Goes 

and here is somebody far cuter than any card...

Introducing Eli Ryan...

How totally adorable is he and clever too as at only a few hours old he realised that it would save him a fortune if he asked Grandma to make him a card ready for Dad's day!  I better get this blog post finished and get into action.

Have a fabulous day full of cuddles.
