Baby Boy #2

Baby card #2 features some of my Paper Smooches stamps and Instaframe die from Die-namics cut in my Cuttlebug.  Bit of bling and some card candy and that's it really!  Frame and ellies popped up on dimensionals.
My DP looks better IRL - there's some wee yellow polka dots on the blue that don't really show up in the pic.

Baby Boy #1

I am so seriously going to have to get my stamps organised into some sort of order and start putting them back when I'm finished!  I've spent about 2 weeks casually looking for this one every time I remembered about it!  Ah well it's been found (for the moment anyway!!) and I've a need for some baby cards, so this is #1

Image is from Wild Rose Studio - coloured with Copics and some bling added to the butterflies and flowers.
Sentiment from Paper Smooches.

Hey Hunny!

I'm not a big ribbon user, but had to have this one as I thought it would be a perfect match for this oldie High Hopes image - Hunny Bear
Image coloured with pencils, clear gloss added to his nose and to the honey.
I also had a 'Bee' text stamp in my stash, so I masked off my Paper Smooches sentiment, so that I could add it.

High Hopes 'Anything Goes' challenge will be running until 5 August, so if you have a High Hopes stamp in your stash get it out ... if you're not in you can't win :)

Sparkly Bubbles

When Mr Mojo's on the missing list (as he has been for the past week!), I often find that a good CASE sometimes brings him back, so off to Splitcoast Featured Stamper I went and found this fab card by Sarah-Jane.

I used Diver Dan from High Hopes - coloured with pencils, clear gems added for the bubbles, and clear gloss added to his flippers and snorkel.  I had another go at paint splattering for my watery BG and kept it a bit more under control this time ;)
Ric Rac border die from Taylored Expressions.

Flowers for sale

This is another of the cute images from Kraftin Kimmie that I chose as part of my Mojo Monday winnings ... isn't he a cutie.  Coloured with pencils, though I'm not overly happy with his hair, I'll have to google to see how to colour hair properly with pencils.  Couple of the flowers popped up on dimensionals.  I masked off my image and splattered the sky with watercolours, but was a tad splodge-happy!!

Sparkly carrots

Just a quickie post tonight ... I was out volunteering today at the World Police & Fire Games and I'm pooped ... its exhausting looking at all those hunky fire and police men ;)  Back again tomorrow and Friday ... its a hard life! Hahahaha

This little cutie is from the set that I was very lucky to win at the Mojo Monday challenge a few weeks ago - Dish the Dirt from Kraftin Kimmie.  Coloured with pencils; clear gloss added to her wellies and box; stickles added to the carrots and tomato (whadya mean you've never had glitter in your dinner LOL!)

Ruth's birthday card #2

We're still baking in the sun here, we're so not used to having temperatures every day in the mid-twenties and above, and it's horrible trying to sleep at night.  Down a few degrees would suit me just fine!  Shouldn't complain really, don't think we had any 'summer' at all last year :)

This is another card for my sister.  I'd got this stamp a while back for the intention of using it for her birthday card and very nearly forgot about it!  Coloured with copics and lots of sparkle added to the girlies' dresses, cupcakes and champagne.
