Merry Christmas 2012

Well it's that time of year again . Wow how this year has flown by. Well this has been the best year of my life as we welcomed our son Alex to the world. It has been the best 8 weeks of my life. So excited to celebrate Christmas this year as a family. How much does your perspective on life change when you have a baby. He's been such a blessing and such a good boy .
It's time to show you my annual Christmas card. I have stuck to the traditional red and green using cherry cobbler and gumball green to match this years dsp. I promise that next year I will challenge myself with another colour combo for Xmas. Just add inks last challenge for the year is to add Christmas so click here to join in

Nappy Cake

Hi,
Well being a new mum at the moment my life has become a world of 4 Hour intervals planing my day around feeding my bub and what i can get done in the down time while he is asleep. I seem to be managing keeping the house work in check and having some extra time to myself until he's a little more active.
I have had the time this week to put together this nappy cake which i am going to give as a gift for a friend who had her baby this week.
 I have searched the web for ideas and had a look at how a friend of a friend who does these for a business while shes on maternity leave.  Its not that hard you just need to be creative in what to put in your cake teirs. I have put this together very simply with some over supply of baby stock that i have received cause you dont need 50 bibs and wraps which is what i have from presents i received from family and friends.. I just have to finsh it off and wrap up in some celophane

Just Add Ink Challenge # 145

 Hi,
Its been a while since I've had the chance to take a little time with a card and not just whip one up in 5 min. Its been about 5 weeks since ive had the chance to update my blog as ive been busy learning how to become Mum. We have got little Alex in a pretty good routine already and we are only getting up 2am for a feed. So im getting sleep just in 2 blocks.
 Any way ,this card  I have made for a friend who had her baby last week. I have made the card to match a nappy cake that i have also made for her which you can check out in another post.

 So i have picked these colours to match the toy Elephant in my nappy cake. Very Vanilla , Early Espresso and Buckaroo Blue (trying to use up some of my old stuff). again most of my card is made from leftovers from other cards so that im not using up all the stuff that i have (so much unopened DSP). Anyway i have used this weeks Just add Ink Sketch Challenge for my card.
