Snag a Canon or Nikon Camera Giveaway

Everyone loves a freebie, so I thought I'd share my latest find.

I've been using MCP Actions for quite a while to edit my photos, making the time spent getting them just right was reduced nearly by half. I am especially loving the vintage style actions.

So, here's their latest competition to win a Canon or Nikon Camera!

So who's in?

Card and a half sketch...

I made this cute little card for a gorgeous friend of mine who's been helping us out a lot lately.

I based this card on one of the gorgeous sketches from Card and a Half, and am loving the muted tones in these OA papers and the simplicity. I would've added a bow, but the style didn't really suit.

My bad

I've been so busy with life, that my poor little blog has been badly neglected yet again.

Lots has been happening of late, but something kinda scrappy and something cute coming up. A card for my gorgeous niece's 1st Birthday and Christening, and a cute photo of her at her little lady bug party.

Dedicated to Helen & the boys

This card was going to be for the Sketch Challenge over at Card and a Half, however I didn't get it finished in time. Then came some terrible news from the owner of the blog (a gorgeous friend), so I have dedicated it to her family xx

Forever Friends card

This card is for a friend who hasn't been well. I got the gorgeous Forever friends stamps with a magazine my MIL gave me. I hand cut the window so you could see him from the front, because he was too cute to hide!

Tooth Pillows

I've had my eye on this cute tooth pillow pattern from mmmcrafts for about 6 months, and since Aiden's first loose tooth was getting wigglier by the day, I thought I'd better hurry up! I ended up making it just in time, and also made one for his little girl friend's birthday as well. I used the basic pattern and dressed them up pretty similar to the examples, so I didn't have too much guess work.

Erin suggested we make the wings out of pink tulle (which turned out awesome), and she also chose the sequin ribbon for the ballet shoes. Lucky we have some left to make one for her soon!

Aren't they adorable!

Thanks to Larissa from mmmcrafts for sharing her awesome pattern for free! Make sure you check out the rest of her cute little sewing patterns in her etsy shop.

And here is toothless Aiden with his tooth officer waiting for the tooth fairy. He was so excited, and even more so because he helped me make this gorgeous little officer.

It's that time of year!

It's that time of year when everyone seems to be having babies! My niece just had a beautiful little girl, giving me an excuse to create a cute little girly card using these gorgeous Echo Park papers. I've also just heard through the grapevine that my cousin has just had a little boy, so off to the craft table again! xx

Jack's card

I had heaps of fun making this card for the arrival of a friend's little boy. Welcome to this world Jack! He's such a little cutie, even though he never woke the whole time we were there. Hope he doesn't wake his Mummy up too much tonight! You have one gorgeous little man there, Fiona!

Card Sketch Challenge

Another challenge over at A Card and a Half was to make a card using Helen's sketch. I used the sketch as inspiration for this card I made for our friends' gorgeous little girl, Emily. I love how it turned out, although it doesn't look much like the sketch now! LOL! Honest to goodness, I did start with the sketch! I used the girls paperie 'kitch' range, which is super cute!

A Card and a Half challenge

My gorgeous friend Helen has started a little card challenge blog - A Card and a Half. Her latest challenge was to make a male card using embossing and punches.

I chose to use the Spotted Owl Soup range from Jillibean Soup to make this card for a friend. I've kept it really simple and embossed stars on the spotty paper in the background, which I then sanded to reveal the pattern, and have punched the paper around the little owl.
