Digitally sweet - and totally perfect!!

Hi all,

Well, he is finally here!!

My darling Grandson was born on Tuesday weighing 7lbs 10oz and after a long and difficult labour for my beautiful daughter he finally entered the world at 10:37 on 25.06.2013.

So to "Celebrate" I thought I would do the first of many many layouts to come and enter the current Digitally Sweet challenge.

So here you go then:

I have used one of the layouts from the Craft Artist kit - Bambino Thoughts.

These are three of the first pictures taken and I am totally head over heels for him already!!

100% Digital!!

I am sure there may be another layout to come very very soon!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Welcome Little One!

Hello bloggy friends.
Well, it is Monday again and that means it is time for another fabulous challenge at Ooh La La Creations.  Firstly, please let me say a big thank you for all the entries that we had for the last challenge.  Please stop by the Ooh La La Challenge Blog to see who our lucky winners were.  Remember, there is no Random Org here, the Design Team take it in turns to pick their favourite and two runners up - so if you won it's because we loved your creation!!

So, onto the next challenge and this time it is hosted by ME!!
I chose the theme of:
WELCOME LITTLE ONE!!
(Now I wonder why I chose that??? LOL)

Here is the card I made for this challenge:

I have used images and DP from the Everyday Occasions CD which you can buy here. 

Isn't this just the cutest little picture?? 

All the little embellishments are also from the CD.

Right down to the flowers and the bow.

Please remember to stop by the rest of the Design Team and see their fabulous creations (links on the DT tab at the top of this page).  They have all worked really hard to offer you some inspiration, so please remember to leave them some love if you pay a visit.

So here is my Midway creation for you:

So for my Midway Reminder I went with:

He ain't heavy... He's my brother by The Hollies (just love that record).

I masked Cuddly Siblings and a Magnolia background for this card and I think they work quite well together. What do you think?

Image is coloured with my copics and the sky is chalked using my Pan Pastels.

The papers are once again those beautiful Nitwits at Lili of the Valley and this pad is called Promises.

The fabulous spotty ribbon is from Crafty Ribbons - isn't it gorgeous?

All the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts as is the cute little pin.

I have used my Martha Stewart PATP on all the papers.

And the sentiment again is one of Lynne's from the now defunct Sentiments 4 You.

Inspirational Song!!

Hello all.

Well it's Sunday again and that means it is time for the new challenge over at Totally Tilda.

Please remember to hop on over to the Totally Tilda challenge blog and have a look to see if you were one of our lucky winners/Top 3.

Right on to the new challenge.

The theme for this fortnight's challenge is:

INSPIRED BY A SONG!

(Not Happy Birthday 'cos that's way too easy! LOL)

So, when we say inspired by a song, we want to see the song title in your card.  We don't want a card based on a memory of a song or a song that meant something to you at some point - the card must reflect the song! Bet that is as clear as mud eh?

Well hopefully my card below will show more what I mean.

This time we are lucky to be sponsored by:

The Pretty Little Ribbon Shop

The Pretty Little Ribbon Shop are having a huge closing down sale!! Everything is reduced to rock bottom prices including all ribbon, twine, mulberry paper flowers, rubber stamps and embellishments.  Hurry stocks are selling out fast - you can browse the sale HERE

Just wanted to say thank you to The Pretty Little Ribbon Shop for their sponsorship over our challenges.  Sponsorship is always very gratefully received and makes challenges that little bit more fun to enter so without sponsors the blogging challenges would be a little less fun.

Thank you to all our sponsors large and small.

So here is my creation for this challenge:

And the song I chose for my inspiration??

Turning Japanese by The Vapors

Hope you get the gist of the challenge now.

Anyhoo, I used Japanese Tilda and coloured her with my Copics.

Here's a little close up of my colouring, the background is sponged using Spun Sugar Distress Ink.

The flowers are all from my stash. I used my Martha Stewart PATP for the paper behind Tilda and also the lace effect on the "steps" of the card.

The gorgeous pin on the left there is from my lovely friend Mandy. Mandy sells these in her Etsy shop.  There is a link on her blog - you really should visit - they are beautiful. 

The parasol and the branches above Tilda's head are Clarity Stamps and the ticket sentiment is one of the lovely Lynne's from Sentiments 4 You that I have in my digi stash.  Sadly no longer running. Boo!

The papers are from an Ooh La La CD called Fleur D'Imagination and you can see all the wonderful CD's here.

Challenges:

Magnolia Down Under - Anything Goes

Midweek Magnolia - Favourite colours (I love the pink/black combo)

Tilda's Town - Use your stash
