A card and something far more adorable

Good morning blogger friends.
 
Hope you are all well and having a lovely weekend. I am still off work until Wednesday. The time has flown and I haven't got half as much done as I wanted. My intention whilst I was on holiday was to take pictures of all the stamps I do not use and put them on my blog to sell. I have loads of Clarity Stamps and I would love them to have a new home so that someone can enjoy them.
 
We have had Evie for the last couple of days. She is such a delight - smiles all the time. I cant believe it will be her first birthday soon.
 
I have another card today using my well loved stamp Happily Ever After by Tiddly Winks.
A full product list will be at the bottom of this post with a link to the on line shop.


The scummy papers are by Michelle R Designs. I love these papers and seem to buy a new design each time I make a card. I don't feel guilty in the least as they are downloads and so affordable.


The couple have benn coloured with Distress Markers and Frantage has been added to the mat


The flowers are from WOC and LLC. The ribbon is from my own stash.
 

The sentiment on the pull out is from Pink Petticoat. The heart die from Doo Hickey has been stamped with a Love stamp from Magnolia. The heart on the ribbon is from LLC.


I have added two rings amongst the flowers.

And now for some pictures of the adorable Evie Maie. We have had her for a couple of day and is was pure joy. She was a bit restless the first evening and at 1am I gave her a bottle. I used to love night feeds - just you and the baby having the most peaceful time in the dark. It took me back 22 years and was such a special moment.
 
 
Love it or hate it and Evie loves Marmite!!!
 
 
And her beautiful smile.

A new challenge at Diva's by Design.

Good morning Blogger friends.

I hope you are all having a lovely week.
 
Today sees the start of a new challenge at Diva's by Design. The theme for this week is charming. You could interpret this as the image, design or an actual charm. We are being sponsored by one of my favourite craft stores, Live and Love Crafts.
 
I have used an image which I won in a challenge from A Day For Daisies. I love this image - she is so elegant.
A full product list with a link to the online store will be at the bottom of this post.


The template is from Dutch Doobadoo. I love these because they are such an affordable way of creating a card base. If your cutting out is not expert then you can use a Tim Holtz distressing tool to cover up the uneven edges.
I have used Distress Marker to colour her. I have just bought the Distress Marker Turorial from Kit and Clowder and I can't wait to get started.


I have paper pieced the image. The birdcage is from The Range but I cannot find the product online to reference it.


I have made my own sparkly embellishments which are on the butterfly die and in the flower by dropping some glue onto my glass table and covering it in Diamond Sparkles. The image has been paper pieced.



I would like to enter this card into the following challenges.
