Baby Boys

Morning guys. :)

It's April.

I'll let that sink in for a second.

Yip. APRIL! A nip and a punch for the first of the month!!

The first of the month means it's time for A BRAND NEW CHALLENGE AT MY MUM'S CRAFT SHOP.

The theme this month is ANYTHING GOES! Easy peasy. :)

I just had to break out another Hobby House topper. Love these little guys! :) 

The Hobby House Wee Toppers - It's a Boy

I paired him up with some older My Mind Eyes papers (had trouble matching him with stuff).. and went CRAY-ZEE with the embellishments. I added die cut stars, organza ribbon, button brads, buttons, sequins, Stickles.. you name it, it's probably on there!!

I cut the '1 today' using my Cameo. I recently discovered the offset tool and I'm in love with it. I went a little crazy and created the sentiment with three layers! Hah! :) I added the rest of the sentiment using my Lawn Fawn alpha stamps! :) 

I never thought I'd get this card completed, the purple-y hue in his baby grow totally threw me off, but with some patience, some stash shopping and the littlest sprinkling of lilac embellishments and I was happy!

Be sure to stop by the My Mum's Craft Shop BLOG and join in with your ANYTHING GOES challenge this month! xo

For You

I'm back today with some more inspiration for you guys using the Art Pads from Lili of the Valley.

I thought I would really struggle matching papers up with these, but it's actually easier than my OCD first thought.

This time round I used the gorgeous dog and bunny hugging.

I dug out some older papers from Teresa Collins that I hadn't even broken into yet *slaps hands* and went to work. I LOVE that grey floral paper, and the B side of that was this coral coloured hexagon pattern so I just had to use the two sides together.

Happy Birthday, Cutie.

Hey everyone. Happy Hump Day.

It's my turn to provide some inspiration for you all using My Mum's Craft Shop goodies.

Have you guys seen the new release of TOPPERS from The Hobby House?! 

Get your butts over to MMCS now and LOOKIE! There are some real cuties.

For my card today I used It's A Girl. Adorable.

The pinks and lime greens match perfectly with Everyday Eclectic from Echo Park, so I teamed the image up with those papers, matting stuff onto Blushing Bride from SU!

I added a sentiment using a Lawn Fawn alpha stamps, and embossed it with clear embossing powder. LOVE how that looks. :) I used a MFT Pierced Tags STAX dies to cut that out and I adhered it at a jaunty angle (that's two this week, what's wrong with me?! LOL!!).

I cut a big '1' with my Cameo from the same patterned paper pack and added it to the left hand side of the card. Then it was time for embellishing. 

I added a little pink button, and a pink gem dot, and a couple Hobby House pearl brads. Then I dug my charms out, as I haven't used any for ages. I came across this little comb from Marianne - I think - so I attached that with some pink bakers twine from Doodlebug. Some standard Liquid Pearls and Stickles and it was a good'n. 

That's all I got for ya. Happy Wednesday. Thanks for stopping by. xo

Dawwwwhhh, not HUSKIES!

'Cheeeaa. I loves them. This is one of my favourite images from all of my Christmas cards this year! 

This is from a topper sheet produced by The Hobby House from Mo Manning. 

I kept it suuuuuuper simple and only added a sentiment from Amy R Stamps and a strip of punched scalloped paper. 

Hope you likey. Thanks for stopping by. xo
