Bah Humbug......

Bah Humbugs challenge this week is through the window.
The actual 'window' on this card I made a very long time ago, hence the simple background through the window, a silver pipe cleaner for a christmas tree!
The window was created using an Ornar window template, pricked and window part cut away, then I left a border around the edge so that I could score and turn over to make an border so I could add the tree background The little angel stamps are from 'Judikins', stamped, coloured and then cut out. Pipe cleaner stuck onto white card shaped and stuck down to look like a Christmas tree, angels then put onto sticky pads and the window frame put over the top.
Ribbon added around the side of the window frame. A4 card with christmas backing paper on then I placed my window on top.
Hope this all makes sense!!!

A couple of pictures for you, one of 'Alfie' at 6 hours old and one with a very proud Grandad. Mum and baby came home yesterday lunchtime both are doing well.

Back to normal today and need to catch up on challanges and also get ready for our craft club meeting on Wednesday.

Fairy Bouguet....

Another image from LOTV. They have come in very handy this week as I dont have much time in my craft room.
Unfotunately the silver behind the image doesn't show up so it doesn't look very sparkly. Mounted onto SU designer paper, MS punch cross the bottom and the corners are also made using this punch. A little bit of glitter, ribbon and a few pearls and hey presto you have ready made card.

Great excitment this week as my daughters baby arrives on Friday....I'm I excited....oh yes, yes, yes.
Anyway back to todays post, this little cat is from LOTV, mounted onto nestabilities. Backing paper is from SU but can't remember what its called.
Quickutz corner dies, Martha Stewart trellis punch across the centre and the little flowers have been made using punches and I have just tipped the edges with colour, the leaf punch is by McGiill and the ribbon is from SU.

Right I had better get on and make a start on baby cards, one pink and one blue as they know what the baby is but we dont....

Thanks for looking.
