Megan's first birthday

This is the 1st birthday card I made for my daughter Megan who was 1 yesterday. I can't believe she's a year old already. Time has just flown by.

I am entering this card into the following challenges

Passion for ProMarkers blog challenge. The theme is special birthday

I love ProMarkers blog challenge. The theme is pins and charms.

 

The main image is from Fizzy Moon called Birthday Treats. I stamped the image three times onto smooth white card and coloured it in with ProMarkers. I cut section from each image and layered them up with foam pads. I added Glossy Accents to the buttons and Stickes to the cake and hat.

I cut squares of pink card and patterned paper for the background. I also cut a number 1 from the pink card using a Craftwork Card template. I also added the long greeting with ribbon.

Before adding the square to the card I attached a strip of ribbon across the top right corner. Onto this I attached a charm and ribbon bow. To finish the card I added my favourite faux stitching, white flowers and gems.

And finally this is the cake I made. It's a two tier sponge cake. I was very pleased with the finished cake. It was hard work though. It tasted yummy!

Megan's Christening invitations

I wanted to share with you today the invitations I made for my daughter Megan's Christening. I chose a pink and rose theme for the cards. Megan's middle name is Rose so I thought it was a great theme.

The rose patterned papers were both stamped using Baby Blossom stamp set from Stampin' Up. I used Rose Red, Pretty in Pink and Pear Pizzazz ink pad also from Stampin' Up to stamp the rose elements. I also stamped the wording in Rose Red.



The edges of the card blank were punched with an Eyelet punch and the front wording panel with a Decorative Border punch both from Stampin' Up. I attached the invitation wording inside the card mounted on a darker pink card panel.

Lastly I wanted to share a photo of my lovely Megan. She'll be 11 months old this week. The weeks just fly by. She'll be one soon. She finds new things to do and explore everyday.

Thank you

Just a couple of photos of my new baby daughter Megan who arrived two days early on Friday morning. She's doing well. I'm sure we shall spend many happy hours together 'crafting' in the years to come.
