First card pic posting

I thought I would try to post my first card pic and what better than the card I made for my latest great nephew?  So, here goes, fingers crossed!

The stamps I’ve used are ones I’ve had for years but haven’t used much recently.
The border is a Clarity corner stamp, my favourtie of their corner stamps I own.
The teddy is from the Stick and Stamp range from Rubbadubbadoo – I don’t know if it’s still available, from a set called A Star Is Born.
I used a Kaleidacolour ink pad, Blue Breeze, for the colour.
Dots of Butterfly Trails Diamond Sparkle glitter from Hunkydory, applied using the Quickie glue pen to the border.
As neither of my printers seem to like card of any thickness, I’ve used a peel off greeting coloured with a Stazon Blue Teal ink pad.
Blue gems from my general stash, got to have a good selection of gems handy don’t we?
The base card is A5 made by folding an A4 sheet of cream hammer card, matting is with Hunkydory blue mirri - my absolute favourite shade of blue, but then again I may be biased as my blue also happens to be my favourite colour :-)
I hope you like it and appreciate all comments, after all nothing beats a fresh eye on things does it?

New arrival

My niece had a little boy today making me a great auntie again!  I've only seen a photo but he looks gorgeous.  Just had to tell the tiny bit of the world that currently reads this (that'll be me then lol)  In spite of it being a planned c-section for yesterday, it was delayed until this afternoon.  I can't wait to see him.  Mum and baby doing well :-)

Learning slowly but surely

It's a beautiful sunny spring morning here and in spite of the house being in chaos have decided to play with blogger and finally add a new post.  Sometimes there doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day but there comes a moment when you realise you just have to make the time.  So please bear with me while I play and learn, you never know I might even post a pic next time :-)

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Hi My name is Kate and I'm trying to make sense out of Blogger at the moment. My blog will be about a number of things, mostly my crafting which i enjoy and spend a lot of my time doing.

Please call back and see how the Blog is progressing, hope to see you soon:-)
