Happy Birthday Sister-in-Law

Good morning, hope everyone is having a lovely weekend. It's pouring down with rain here in Portsmouth and I can't craft as we're staying with the In-Laws. So just a quick post from me then we're headed out into the weather so I can try and locate a warm maternity sweatshirt/coat to cover my baby bump. I can't just buy a normal one in a bigger size as where I was so sick at the beginning I'm smaller now than I was before I got pregnant and my bump is so big already (I'm 5 months) that to get one to fit it would hang off my shoulders and over my hands as I'm quite short too.

Anyhoo, enough waffle, here is my card which follows this weeks challenge at Sketch & Stash (see below for sketch):

Patchwork Bunch of Balloons Card (2)  Patchwork Bunch of Balloons Card (4)    Patchwork Bunch of Balloons Card (1)

The image is Patchwork Bunch of Balloons from Lili of the Valley and has been coloured with ProMarkers and FlexMarkers. Patterned papers are from the Crate Paper Random 6x6 pad and the plain card is from my stash, all edges have been distressed with a mix of Worn Lipstick and Spun Sugar Distress Ink. The image has been cut out with a Nestie and mounted on a square parenthesis X-Cut die cut. The flowers have been cut with an MFT flower die available from Dies to Die for. The ribbon and pearls are from my stash.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Ice Cream and Pickles

I’m not talking about my cravings but this gorgeous image from Saturated Canary. The weirdest my cravings have got so far are cheese and beetroot sandwiches.

Some of close friends of ours (who also work for the same company as my hubby) are expecting a little boy in four weeks time and today is the Mummy-to-be’s last day at work today before starting her maternity leave. This is the card I made her…

Ice Cream and Pickles (1)

The image has been coloured with ProMarkers and FlexMarkers. The corner swirl and straight swirl stamps are from Lili of the Valley. Patterned paper is from First Edition Blank Canvas 6x6 pad and the textured card is from Core'dinations. All edges have been distressed with Weathered Wood Distress Ink. The sentiment is a Peel Off (OMG don't think I've used one of those for a while), on a little tab cut with the side of an X-Cut Square Parenthesis die. Pearls, bling and ribbon from stash.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

We are off to stay with the in-laws this weekend to celebrate Sister-in-Law's Birthday so I better get going with the packing ( and I need to finish her card as well).

Thanks for stopping by.

Cool Britannia from Kanban

As some of you know back in March/April of this year I became part of the first UK Design Team for Kanban Crafts. I started creating and my cards have been shown on Kanban Crafts Facebook page but due to the small matter of a growing baby bump and the dreaded Morning Sickness I have neglected to share my cards here on my blog. Well today that’s going to change and I’m going to start sharing the cards with you each week.

Here is a card I made using the fabulous Cool Britannia collection.

London Icons Card London Icons Card (2)

Kanban items used: Jubilee Parade Card 900219, Jubilee Sentiment Toppers 900171, London Icon On Parade Toppers 900179, London Landmark Toppers 900172, Red and Navy card and foam pads.

Also if you are a lover of Kanban Crafts there is a Facebook Group you can join here.

Thanks for stopping by.
