Blog candy shout out and a couple of new bits

Evening all. Sorry I've not been about much, I've been a little preoccupied with other things....mainly my beautiful cousins Order of Service for her wedding this coming Saturday. I'll pop photos of those up this time next week.
Anyway, as you can see by the title I have a blog candy shout out for Sarpreet, who is a very talented lady and I do hope those of you that see this will pop along, follow her her blog and help to spread the word;-

Now onto the couple of new bits. The first is a baby boy card that my MIL asked me to make for the arrival of her neighbours new baby the other day.

I used Crafters Companion Popcorn kids CD and stamps, I also finally got around to using my cuttlebug and nestabilities....how on earth did I manage without those little babies!

The next bit is another twisty scarf. This one is more suitable for a super stylish young girl as it's a bit shorter as I did it in a tighter tension than the pink one.

Over the next week, I'll be uploading items to my Folksy shop and getting my website back up and running so people can see the sort of things that I have made in the past and order them in their own choice of colours and materials....after all not everyone wants cotton or acrylic :-)
Hope you like them both and please don't forget to check out Sarpreets blog candy.
Take care

Baby Ellie

I love it when a plan comes together and it has for this card. I have 2 challenges to enter it into and as I haven't got round to doing any lately so I'm chuffed to bits. It also goes towards my make as a DT member for Stamping Dragon and the digi and paper itself has been printed out for best part of a week (possibly nearer two weeks to be honest) and finally, my MIL asked me to make a card to welcome the newest member of the May family to this world.
So without further ado, here is my card.

I've taken the sketch from Sketch Saturday and moved the big circle over to the side a little so I could get the new babies name,date of birth and weight in on the front of the card as well. So I'm entering this there and I'm also entering it into Lexis challenge which is "Animals". For the inside, I've nicked an idea from my good buddy Clare AKA Threadbare and put another little ellie on the inside. It finishes it off I think.

If you like this stamp and paper pack (the paper I've used comes with it if you want) you can purchase it from Stitchy Bear Stamps who are having a huge HALF PRICE sale for the whole of this month. Also over on our group page at SNR  - http://snrcardiverse.ning.com/group/stitchybearstamps we have our sister challenge to OSAAT running which is to do a card for Mothers Day -  
"Since Mother's Day is next weekend, I thought that a project for mom/mum would make for a good challenge.  Stitchy has so kindly given me her breakfast with mom stamp to let you all use.  Now you must email me at tmt0221@aol.com with challenge is the subject line for the image.  Only get the image if you plan to do the challenge please.  Make any project you like using the stamp and post it here.  The challenge will run until next Friday, May 7th at 9 pm.  The winner will be chosen right after that and will win a free stamp of their choice from Stitchy.    I can't wait to see what you all create"  Wow a free stamp to use - even I didn't know about that one...I might have to do it just for the stamp lol hehehee. Tammy would love to see some of you guys join in with the fun over there as would the rest of the guys involved with OSAAT.
Okay, I'm off to find some pain killers now as I'm starting to get the headache from hell.
Have a lovely day peeps.
