New Baby card

A work mate of Lynne's has gone on maternity leave and is due any day now so, in prep, I made this card - have also done a boy's one too but will post that next as this one is for some challenges. Using a stunning image I got from a friend and coloured it with PMs, layered onto card from Papermill Shop and added ribbon and button.

Tiny Tiddler from Sugar Nellie

For this card I used all the papers I got half price when Hatfield branch of Papermill Shop was closing down - some lovely lady from DC forum set up a thread otherwise I would never have know about the bargains there! Sorry too late now - it is closed!! Using Sugar Bowl sketch, Passion for PM's 'Think of a Number and Charisma Cardz 'Metal Mickey' this was the result ~

I created the cream text paper with the words of 'One two three four five, Once I caught a fish alive', tore the edges of the fab iridescent brown/green paper and added two metallic brads. The image is so sweet I think - really enjoying these now and hope to buy some more when I visit at the end of this month!

Malcolm Mouse

Well we have another gorgeous day here in N London - tho there is a lovely breeze today that is just keeping the intense heat of the sun a bit more bearable than of late.
For those of you who follow my health problems - my neck does appear to have eased a bit. As a test, I have only taken half a dose of my strong painkiller this morning so I won't know til later on today how it is but fingers and everything else crossed that this injection has worked. Getting rid of or lessening this neck pain may or may not help with this fatigue I have. This card is for 2 challenges - Digistamp Boutique July competition and Moving Along with the Times current challenge.

I simply adore these images from DSB so I think I may have to get my credit card out and get some more. I used my Nesties Labels 2 for the first time too and have to say I am very impressed with the result.
