Baby’s Bed’s a Silver Moon

I’m sharing another baby card today which features Sleepy Lamb Agnes from Lacy Sunshine.

Another colleague has had a little girl so I raided my stash of girlie papers and coloured up this cute little image.  I chose the colour scheme for my card based on the palette at Sunday Stamps of pink, chocolate and white.  They were the perfect colours for a new baby girl card.  I kept my paper choices fairly simple and carried the heart theme from the sweet Pion Design paper through to the sentiment and my embellies.

The layout follows the current sketch at Sketchy Colors, loved the matting and framing possibilities with it.  I did swap out the oval for a circle as that shape fit my image better.  The current theme at Crafty Gals’ Corner is all about girls, as I entered their previous all about the boys challenge had to get an entry into this one too.

Five, six, pick up sticks

My double layout from my baby book today features the adorable Noor from Lacy Sunshine.

Little Noor was a freebie recently and was drawn up by Heather to celebrate the birthday of a little girl whose mother runs a crafty shop.  Although Noor is supposed to be two I’ve done this layout up ready for a photo from baby’s first birthday.  As I’ve used little Noor I am entering this in the challenge at Noor Designs.

The layout is from the current sketch at Sketchabilities and allowed me to use up some of the scraps from the other pages.  There was lots of space in the sketch so I’ve used a stencil with a row of butterflies to fill it, this is the same stencil I used on the cover so it ties in nicely with that.  With my stencilling I am also entering this at Country View’s current challenge.

I’ll have the last two pages done up over the next couple of days and you can see the cover from this book at this post, the first page here, the last page here, a double layout at this post and another double layout here.

To hear the sea-maid’s music?

My card today features a cute mermaid image from Lacy Sunshine Stamps, this is Waverly Sun Kissed Mermaid.

I’ve played along with my favourite sketch challenge over at Outlawz with this card although I have taken some creative liberties with the two rectangular elements.  I’ve swapped one out for some lovely die cut waves, I thought these suited and it meant I didn’t hide the fabulous and very appropriate lighthouse image on the designer paper I used.  For the other I’ve used some trim I found in my bottomless pit of ribbons and laces that reminded me of seaweed and sea foam.  This formed the perfect backdrop for my embellies.  It was also in just the right colour and somehow my stash of paper came good too with the right colour for the waves and the base card, love it when my stash actually holds what I need!

What could be more perfect for embellies for a card featuring a mermaid but pearls and seashells?  I’ve also added a metal anchor charm as I needed something to hang as a counterpoint to the seashells and it suited my theme too.  With my metal embellie I am entering this over at Inky Chicks for their current challenge.

As my card features a Lacy Sunshine image and I have two die cuts, the frame around Waverly and my waves, I’m also entering this in the current challenge at Lacy Sunshine.

Be not sick too late, nor well too soon

I have the honour of being a guest DT  at Through the Purple Haze challenge this month and today is my first post for this week’s anything goes challenge featuring an image from the sponsor Lacy Sunshine’s Sadie.

Now did you think that I didn’t colour up Sadie?  Surely not, for that wouldn’t have been much fun and this is definitely a fun card.  All it takes is to pull gently on the handle on the top to give Sadie back her colour.
 

Pretty clever, isn’t it?

 

I followed a tutorial from Keren of Altered Ego; Keren has been kind enough to post up tutorials and patterns for a range of fab card designs.  Go check out her blog and her great take on this secret slider card.

To make up my card I took some inspiration from Die Cut Diva’s where they have an inspirational photo posted as their challenge theme.  Being an Aussie myself the colours of the rosellas and bush were very familiar and worked well for a get well card.

I’ve used my favourite embellies, flowers, to make up my card.  Lovely sunny coloured ones to help brighten someone’s day who is feeling, well, off colour.  With my flowers I am entering my card in the current challenges at Allsorts and Sweet Stampin’ (got the stamp part covered too).

Hopefully my card has inspired you to try something a bit different, even if it is just a different type of card like mine.  If so, why not join in the fun over at Through the Purple Haze.  The current challenge will run for a week and, as always, there are some lovely prizes on offer.
