About Me

My photo
I'm a 30-something wife to Gary, and mum to James (4) and Katie (2). After making loads of cards during my first year-long maternity leave, I'm now busy, busy, busy, with work and two kids. I'll get back to it someday though, I'm sure!

Mum-To-Be Card


I've made this card for my friend, who's expecting her second baby later this year. It's my entry for this week's 'Passion for Promarkers' challenge.


The stamp is 'Pregnant Willow'. I've coloured the dress using Pastel Yellow, then Tulip Yellow and Baby Pink to highlight the details. Her hair is Sandstone, Cinnamon and Cocoa. Shoes are Baby Pink. Skin is Satin and Blush.


I've added stitching (Tulip Yellow and Baby Pink) around the image, yellow gingham and card. The pink gingham was a download and yellow gingham is from the Papermania Sunshine capsule papers, as were the bows.

Easter Card


I've made this card using the free stuff in this month's 'Quick Cards Made Easy'. It's my entry for this week's 'Sketch and Stash' challenge.
The stamps, backing paper and ribbons were new this week. I've raided my stash for the Promarkers (Cool Greys 1, 2 & 3; Baby Pink; Corflower Blue), butterfly (which has been sitting patiently in my embellishments box for several years now!) and backing cards.
