A non pastel baby card

Hi everyone

Just a quick post to show you a baby card I made recently for my niece. I love the Bundle of Love stamp set, but wanted to try something different with it so I combined it with the very useful Dot,dot,dot  mini background stamp.

The colours I've used are Cherry Cobbler, Baja Breeze,Very Vanilla and Basic Grey. The tiny stamps in Bundle of Love make a cute background  and I've added a little bling with some of our rhinestones.

Well, it's too nice today to stay indoors, so I'm off down to my allotment to sow some seeds. See you soon!

So much fun!

Well I haven't posted for a while, because I've been busy having the best time learning lots of new things with Stampin' Up, (among other much more boring stuff)

My first couple of workshops were great fun and I really enjoyed making some small projects with the guests. They loved trying the 'Flight of the Butterfly' stamps with matching punch and were amazed at how easy it was to get fab backgrounds using the 'Stampin' Around' wheel. 

Today I managed to get a whole morning crafting with my best friend, Helen. We made a few projects that I found on the web, but I am most pleased with this one. The tutorial is from Kazzells Craft and it was easy to make, once you get the hang of how the card goes together you can decorate it any way you want.
