I'm an Auntie again!

And another excuse to make cute baby cards. Our little William now has a cousin. My brother and his wife had a little girl on the weekend, little Ava Jessica. I have been wanting to make one of these telescope cards for ages. When I saw this, I just couldn't resist and what better way to show off the new Little Additions stamp set - I just love it! I used ALL but 2 of the 21 stamps in this set. So I got busy recreating just changing a few colours for a girl theme. Here is a link to the tutorial if you wanna make one, super easy but love the WOW factor. I really love the new Mini Silver Brads too - too cute!

Got my Mojo back....


Ok I know its been a while but I have a VERY VERY good excuse....I am happy to announce that our little baby William was born late July and hence I have been a little distracted of late. Motherhood is FULL ON! However, I am glad to be back in my craft room doing some creating. I have recreated this gorgeous cute box from one of the projects created by Martha Lucia Gomez over at the latest Inkspirations4U. I am a designer for this group that is run by the fabulous Madeline Morcelo. I put this project together to showcase some of the beautiful new Designer Series Papers, Stamp Sets and Big Shot Designer Frames as well as the gorgeous new seam binding all from the NEW Idea Book and Catalogue just released this month. The paper on the front panel is from the new Mocha Morning Specialty Papers, it has flocking on it and I soooooo love it! Can't go wrong with butterflies if you ask me, this little beauty comes from the new Creative Elements Stamp set. If you too would like to recreate this beautiful box, come join the Early Fall Edition of Inkspirations4U and enjoy many other great project ideas. Look forward to seeing you in there.
