Pretty in Pink!

One for the girls also . . . made in exactly same manner as previous blue card.  Finished off with glamour dust - gorgeous.

"Little Boy Blue"

A close up pic of one of the cards on the previous post.  These are just 8" x 4" dl cards and are very cute.
All you have to do to make these is just click and print off one sheet and it's all contained on that one sheet - simple but very effective.

New Baby Duo

These two cards are going into my box  . . . ready for new babies.  I made them using Plush Pals crafters CD rom that I've had for ages but don't use very much.  As I'm making several baby cards at the minute I wanted some variety - not all nearly the same cards and dug out this CD from my stash.

The little bears are decoupaged in three layers and single layer decoupage to the lettering.  Glamour dusted gives a lovely finish to these lovely little DL cards.  Inserts made to finish off the inside (but not photographed).

Men's Cards are never Easy

One of the several mens cards I've made recently  yet again made from a kit by theclipartfairy.  Mens cards are not the easiest of cards to do as it's sometimes difficult to tailor them to the person if they don't have an interest in sport . . .

. . . so this would be suitable for any man.  Peel-offs added to frame the elements finish this off very well.

Twisted Easel Baby Card

Here's another Baby Girl card, made with a kit available from  theclipartfairy.  I am trying to fill my box of cards up a bit before my new baby grandchildren make their entry into the world in the next few weeks as I'm sure I won't have much free time then!

I made this one up as a twisted easel which is very easy to make and very effective.  I sprayed all the elements of this with Crafters Companion Spray and Shine which gives a lovely sheen, added decoupage to the frame and baby in a basket.  Finished off with some lovely white fancy ribbon around the edge of the base of the easel and little white bow to which is attached a little silver butterfly and pink pacifyer (dummy).

First Scrapbook Page

This is just a quick first attempt at beginning a scrapbook . . . All from my new toy - Serif Craft Artist Platinum Edition.  I've never attempted any form of scrapbooking digitally before, I have kept files for my daughters, containing photos, certificates, newspapers etc all relevant to their childhood/growing up but now want to try with digital scrapbooking for my grandchildren.

This first attempt is a very simple click and print page (without any embellishments added). I used a lovely pic of my grandson, Warren in the garden over the Easter holiday.  To this I added a background, some graphics and some appropriate wording.

You can now go on to add any extra embelishments to add dimension which I will do with these scrapbook pages as I make up the books.  These can all be added digitally if you like, there's so much choice in what to use and how to make up the pages.  The children will love to look through these in years to come and remember what is shown.  My girls still flip through the folders I made up for them as they were growing up and remember specific times in their lives.
