I have a little spring in my step today, yesterday I received some VERY exciting news… not just one piece of good news but TWO pieces…. I was totally shocked by both and feel so happy I want to shout from the roof tops but I can’t….. and it is killing me already…. You will need to wait a little to find out. Plus I just realised yesterday I received the most comment I have ever received in ONE day… So thank you for leaving me some love.

Because I am feeling so cheery I thought I would post a cute and colourful card {well as colourful as I get}, I have used the boat from Nursery Necessities and the cute little clouds for from Sale-A-Bration Set Good Neighbours. I cracked open my packet of Carousel Notes to create a round card. I created the waves in the water with the ½ inch Circle Punch.

I will be back later today to update the materials list.

Another Baby card this time for a little boy, I have used Nursery Necessities and Jumbo Nursery Letters wheel again on this card and I love the little boat as much as yesterdays elephant on the girl card. This card came together pretty quick for me {as I am the slowest cardmaker ever}. I used this weeks sketch from the Sweetest thing Blog, Every week I check out the Sketches on this blog and always mean to take part in the challenge but… never end up doing it, I really should because I love Sketch Challenges as they take me out of my comfit zone and I think it is so much quicker to make a card when you have a sketch to build from.

Here is the Sketch I used:

My Card….

Inside is a little boring on this one but I thought I would still show you. Yes I put ribbon inside the card, And Yes that does make the card extra bulky but I just LOVE ribbon and I can’t help myself ….

I am about to enter “baby season” I know so many people who are about to have babies between October and December, but the most important baby coming is from my Sister who is due in a few weeks however I think she will have it early {like any day now}. Yesterday I went with her for the last ultrasound and I am SO excited for her to finally have this baby she has had lots of problems along the way so we all just want her to have the baby and know that everything is OK with her and the baby. It was the best ultrasound so far because we found out the sex as every other ultrasound the legs were crossed so we could not really tell and we got a pretty good look at the face and little hands….So cute.

This is not the card I will give to my Sister but it is going in the stash for one of the other babies that will be coming, I like to have cards pre-made for babies so it is already when I go and meet the new baby and see the Mummy. This was the first time I have used Nursery Necessities but it has been sitting on my shelf for a while waiting for me to make a Baby card, Once I mounted it I realised it really is not limited to a “baby card” I can use the Boat for a boy card and lots of uses for the star’s in the set but I LOVE the cute elephant which I had to use to start off with.

I am not totally loving this card because I feel like it needs something in the bottom right corner but not sure what, I played around with brads, pearls then little buttons in a line but it looked too much… So I left them off. Do you have any suggestions?

Here is the inside of my card, Just simple with a greeting from God’s Blessing which I think is such a lovely stamp set.
