Another quickie baby card.

I've had this idea in my head for ages but couldn't find an image of a baby in a nappy. On last Friday's post I gave a link to a site which I've just found. There are lots of baby images ( some a bit blurred but most are OK ) including this one.

A bit different to the usual "welcome baby" stuff. The backing paper is from a stack. I've lost the cover but I think it could be DCWV.

The glue on my flower and the stickles aren't dry in the pic because I was going out and had to take the photo because it would be too dark when I got back.

Off to work now but before I go............
...........Target weight 9st 2lb. Today, 9st 3lb. One back on, lol.

RSPCC. Look away now!

I was printing out some jars and was looking in my saved images for something to go inside the jars when something caught my wicked eye. Well how could I resist, lol. I just had to make up a quickie card.

How cool is that! I wonder if anyone will buy it if I put it on sale?! The jar image is from Scrapping Turtle.

I can't find the original source for the baby but while I was looking at google images I found THESE and was well chuffed.The baby at the bottom is the one I used for this card and couldn't find it again. I printed the caption in "thread fun" font. There is a link to the cute buttons in my side bar.

Todays weight 9st 2lb (target weight).

Baby's First Birthday Card.

It will be our grandson's first birthday next week. It doesn't seem like 2 minutes since he was born. He is literally days away from taking his first steps then we can all look out,lol. I don't have many baby images so this one turned up on Free Digital Stamps last week just in time.

It's at Papercraft  Planet HERE.  I am a member at PCP and although it says it is a freebie for Sassy Cheryl's members , which I'm not, I still managed to download it. I'm not sure if I'm being naughty, but at least I'm sharing the link to the post and not just the image.

Isn't he cute. The papers were from a My Craft Studio CD ROM which I've had for years. The Card base is 5"x5".

I nearly forgot about my poor old blog this morning so it will be a mega quick post.

Image by Lili of the Valley. This is one of the cards i made for the bloke who wanted 7. He'll be picking them up today.     Right i'd best get ready for work.

New Baby Card.

Speedy's niece has given birth to a baby boy so of course a card is in order. I have just made it this morning and needed to take a quick piccie before it goes off to Australia tomorrow with the rest of the family's cards.

This, along with the baby girl stamp, both from Lilli of the Valley, is one of my favourite baby stamps.I was naughty last week and bought the Best of K and Company pad of 360 papers.They were priced at £29.99 but as the pad was a bit dog eared i got a fiver Knocked off. The papers are gorgeous though and i've been hankering for ages.

The glitter glue is still wet so it doesn't look too good but i needed to write it and give it to speedy (still wet and not in the envelope) to take to his mums. So off he's gone and left me in peace.
I'm entering it into the C.R.A.F.T. New baby challenge.

Hi, remember me?

I,m back ! I haven't really felt like creating this last couple of weeks, probably because of the pre Christmas frenzy but my mojo has been on strike. I dragged myself into my den this morning for fear of never wanting to go back in. I just made a couple of simple baby cards, then the guilt fairy kicked in. Speedy has gone back to work today and i've got my 2 days off so i should be doing the big post Christmas sort out. Anyway here's my humble offering.

I don't know whether it's the light or there's something wrong with my camera as my pics aren't that clear lately, a bit fuzzy around the edges. I won't know until we get a nice sunny day. The image is a digi from Pink Gem Designs.

The papers are from my towering scrap box which never seems to get any less full. I added a few punched flowers and some gems and stickles. The card base is 5"x5".
Right, "guilt fairy", you can have your wicked way with me for a couple of hours. I'll do a bit of cleaning and sorting then i'll see about skulking back into my den.
Thanks for visiting. I hope i can come up with some more cards today . I've even got Christmas stash money going mouldy because i'm not even in the mood for craft shopping yet.

Baby girl card.

Another dull day. I sort of kidded myself that August would be better than July but how wrong could i be.I'm so glad i didn't buy a load of new summer clothes, all you need in this country is an trendy umbrella,lol. It's not a case of  is it going to rain today, but what time will it rain today. And it's getting darker!!!!
Enough of that depressing talk, here's a girlie version of the baby boy card i made last week.

Elzybells stamp, paper from stash and stickers from Accessorise. My mojo is really suffering lately so i thought i'd play safe and "copy" a card i'd already done rather than risk a trashed craft room. In fact, that's an idea, i think i'll spend the next few days or so " casing" some of my older cards, yeah good idea, that's made me feel a bit better. I could maybe put a link to the original too.
 I'll be off out later with Speedy for my usual sunday barmeal. Ive been really good lately and having prawn salad.................and,erm.....................a bowl of chips, lol. At least i only let myself eat half of the chips and Speedy is banned from finishing them off!
     Bye bye for now. Di.xxx

EDIT for Gay, i get my Elzybells stamps from here but you need to be quick as she's closing down and is having a huge sale.

How sweet is this baby?

Say hello to baby Michael. He has melted the heart of the least interested person where babies are concerned,I usually just look and grunt ( a bit like a teenage boy) with disinterest. I looked into that cot at the hospital on sunday and was gobsmacked. He was only 6 days old. No wrinkled up little creature, not one bit.Just look at this.

How could i not be smitten. Although at the time i didn't know this. You see at the time i was sitting to the right of Speedy refusing to have a hold of Michael as he has a broken collar bone ( Nina was begging the nurses to get him out as nothing was happening, 1 hour later doctor came and said head is wrong way and baby is wedged behind mums pelvis and decided to yank him out) . Mum had 22 stitches and now has a hernia.The wedding in september will most likely be moved to a later date. But Nina and Michael are doing fine. Daddy Neil is starting his new better paid job on sunday. He has always worked hard in the hotel/catering trade and we are very proud of him. It wasn't until i started editing the quickie photos i took that i realised how cute this little chap is.  Talking of proud, look at Speedy, bless him.

Michael when he was born was 22" long, a third of the height of an average adult. I will hold my "little lad" when his shoulder is healed, i'd hate do undo any of natures work because of my awkwardness.
       Neil and Nina, thank you so much,  If Michael is ever naughty just send him to Nanny McSpeed, (just joking).       Di.xxxx.

Babies everywhere.

I'm one of those unnatural women who doesn't really do babies. There's only a handful of us in the world and most women think we're really odd, but that's the way i am,when i go anywhere where there's a baby i dread it being passed around,lol. But........i can feel a bit of a change coming on. We went to see little Michael yesterday and instead of my usual glance into the cot with a "yeah nice", i came over all queer and wanted to touch........not hold exactly......just touch ( i can hear you all now, but this is a giant leap forward for me) and look. He is a beautiful little thing and i must admit i was quite taken with him, actually he's not so little at 22 inches long!!  We've all been banned from uploading photo's until mum & dad have done theirs and quite right too.They've come home today so i'll wait a couple of days.
My ex boss has just had a little boy too so i made them this little card.

The stamp is Elzybells, nice and easy to colour.The paper is from my scrap box, origin unknown and the sentiment is Hero Arts stamped 3 times. The little bird sticker is from Accessorize. If you want to see more ideas with these stickers pop along to Helens blog It's all fiddle fart. She is the queen of stickers and the queen of bargain hunting,lol.
 I'm getting hungry now, i've just realised i've strutted 4 miles this morning, done a load of housework and forgotten do eat anything, i wish i could do that every day. I'll have a bit of crumpet i think as were out for a bar snack later.
    Thanks for visiting. Di.xx

Oh boy.

Oh bless!! My third Lilli of the Valley stamp has been inked up and what a sweetie he is.

That dog looks a bit ferocious though, good job he's glued to the cart! Maybe he's just seen the postman.

The card base is 6"x6" and the buttons and paper are from my stash. I think i'll save this card for when my stepson and his girlfriend have their baby which will be in the next couple of weeks.

 As usual on a satuday it's work until 1.30 then a few drinkies with my bessie mate(Speedy)

Oh Sweeeeeet!!

As usual, I'm always the last to get the latest stamp, papers etc and just as everyone else is getting bored with theirs,I receive mine through the post.This is my latest example. This little Lilli of the Valley baby girl stamp. I also ordered the boy which I'll have a play with later.

I used my fiskars border punch after forgetting I had it for ages.The buttons were a bit too pale so I coloured them with promarkers. The paper is from my DCWV stack number 6, not getting fed up with it yet as it has so many styles. The card base is 6"x6".

Before I can play with the little boy stamp I've go to make 10 more wedding invites as the bride and groom miscounted. Luckily I thought this may happen and have got some ready to assemble, I think I'll make a few extra just in case.

     Thanks for looking in. Di. xx
