After much waiting and drama’s along the way I am finally an Aunty again to a beautiful little girl named Ebony Rose she was born 7:30pm on Monday 19th October 2009. She is SO cute and such a good baby, Mum is doing really well and her big sister Bailey {who is 3 years old} is very proud, I was looking after Bailey when Ebony was born, It was one of the most special moments I have experienced, I had not told Bailey that her mum was having Ebony that night but she knew that her mum was in hospital because they were checking on the “baby”, once I received the call that Ebony was born I told her and Bailey’s little face just lit up and she clapped her hands and said proudly “guess what Aunty… I am big sister now” It was just so precious. Now whenever she is with Ebony she says “it’s ok Ebony, big sister is here”…

I have taken so many photos over the past few days of Ebony and I am back into my Scrapbooking so I have Scrapbooked a photo of little Ebony Rose from Monday a couple of hours after she was born and it was the first time my sister held her. The layout was inspired by a quilt that was made for Ebony by her Aunty Lucy and I just LOVE this quilt SO much, I took elements from the quilt like the damask design, the polka dots and blocks of pattern to create the layout. I even added a little stitching detail along the bottom. I was really happy with my page and even happier with having another CUTE niece.

Here is another photo of little Ebony Rose on the quilt that inspired my page.

Materials used:
Stamps: Fifth Ave Floral, Friends 24-7 and Baroque Background
Ink: VersaMark, Basic Grey and Pink Pirouette
Paper: Sweet Always DSP, Regal Rose DSP, Whisper White CS and Pink Pirouette CS
Other: Clear Embossing Powder, Scallop edge, Chipboard letters, Watercolour Crayons, Blender Pen, White Taffeta Ribbon, Pink Pirouette Button.

I am so happy with this card, It’s bold but still elegant. I stamped the Baroque background on whisper white card using a *very juicy* black StazOn ink pad, and touched up a few ‘dry’ spots with a basic black marker. Then put black cardstock over the fold of the card. I needed black ribbon and I did not have any so I dyed brown ribbon black using a black re-inker and heat set it. Wrapped the ribbon around the card and put a hat pin through the tie… I AM SO IN LOVE with pretties…

Materials used:

These colours look amazing together, I am lovely Purely pomegranate and the sanded background (which you can’t see very well in the photo) it has a great texture to the cardstock. I saw a similar bag on SCS and this set just popped into me head.
