Hi there, it's Susan again, It's been a long time since I made a baby card and I adore pink so I couldn't resist.
The backing papers I choose are from Nitwits. I used a really great sketch from Friday Sketchers for this card, I think it really suited a child/baby theme. I distressed all the edges of the backing papers.
This cute little girl image is a Stitchy Bear Digi Stamp, and I coloured it in with Pro-Markers, and aged with inks, before I distressed the edges to match the backing papers.
The sentiment I made myself on the computer. All the cute buttons and the nappy pins I used from our stash. The ribbon is from my local market.

Hi it's Susan again, what a great sketch this was from The Sweet Stop, simple but so effective.
The backing papers were from a CD rom called Cute Companions Summer Stories, I love these backing papers they are so delicate in the colouring, and as strawberries were asked for in the All Sorts Challenge the fit the bill exactly.
All the edges were distressed and glittered using Stickles.
The ribbon and lace is from my local market.
This has to be the most adorable stamp from Belles and Whistles, with the little kitten peeking around her legs.
I coloured it in using Pro-Markers, and a soft distressing ink for the background.
The label was made on my computer. I distressed and glittered the edges and inked the background to match the card.
All the flowers are handmade using a set of punches and shaping and colouring to get the effect I wanted. I love making my own flowers, and try to put some on most cards I make.

Hi there Susan here, hope you like this card, it was a totally different shape for me, I usually make square ones! Oh well life's about change, and I did enjoy working from the Fussy and Fancy Sketch this week.
The flowers are all from Wild Orchid Crafts, and the swirl is my own hand made version. I don't think I will ever be allowed near the pearls again, they were flirting all over the place when I was constructing this swirl, and as my family already know I'm not good near liquids, if there is liquids around I just seem to home into them and well you can guess what happens, now they know it is the same near loose beads!! Oh well I try.
The backing papers are from daisyd's, I've had this in my stash for ages.
This is the first one of my little Penny Black stamps, love these little stamps they are so charming...
Who couldn't love this little hedgehog swinging on a flowery rope...
And this little one, my favourite of the three, I've used her lots of times. I coloured all three in using Pro-Markers.
The ribbon and lace is from my local market.

Hi, Susan again, well I've gone all oriental with this one, I used a great sketch from Truly Scrumptious and joined it up with another challenge from Creatalicious, using one of my favourite CD's from Joanna Sheen, Tales of the Orient. The image and background papers are so gorgeous I just had to use them on this challenge.
I kept the colours to black, white and red in keeping with the Crafty Creations challenge.
This is one of the many images on the CD rom from Joanna Sheen, they are remarkable... love making cards using these images.
The flowers are my own handmade flowers using punches, I have also used a Multi-Shaper allDeco punch for the trim on the white card behind the image.
This tassel is from Joanna Sheen's website.

Hi, it's Susan again, well it's my Grandson Liam's 14th birthday on the 16th and because there was such a lot of challenges this week based on male themes I thought I would make his card early and enter it in them. He shares our crafting room with Emma and I, he lies on the spare bed playing on his PS3 and we all have a great time together!
I started with a wonderful sketch from Friday Sketchers this was an absolutely great sketch just right for what I wanted. The backing papers were from my bits and pieces box, lucky they were the colours I wanted!
This digi image I got free from HERE it was the ideal choice for me, I coloured it in using Pro-Markers. The sentiment I designed on the computer and printed onto the surround of the image.
The tassel and rope effect I made using embroidery threads that I had in my stash, it was supposed to match the rope bracelet that is on the arm of the boy in the image.
The buttons were from my stash.
