Boys Overalls

I am so in love with this little overall suit at the moment this is the 3rd card I have made. This one is using Night of Navy, Riding Hood Red and Whisper White card stock. The sailing boat is from Lifes A Breeze. I used the Piercing tool around the pocket and added a little Riding Hood Red striped ribbon. The 'buttons' are the small star punch with a pewter brad in the centre.

I am going to have to find some time to come up with some other patterns as I only have so many people I could use this type of card for.

How Cute Is This

Well today I was faced with updating software on my computer, ironing, paperwork, filing or creating. Now that might seem like an easy choice to some but as hard as I tried to do my ironing, creating won out ( ha, as if).

This project was inspired by a photo I had printed out several months ago and when I attempted to attack my filing I came across it. (See there are some bonuses to attempting to doing my chores.) All I had was a photo so I had to turn my hand to pattern making which was more fun than I thought but did slow down my productivity a little. I am sure my ironing could have been finished but!!!

I used Pretty In Pink and Whisper White card stock and some of the Pretties Kit. I have made it so that you only need one sheet of A4 card for the little overalls and then a bit of co-ordinating trim.

I did a boy orientated one also which I will post a little later. I can't do too many posts in one day as you need time to get over the shock that I am actually posting and there is the ironing waiting. Now all I need is lots of friends to have some babies so I have an excuse to make lots more of these. Any takers?????

Boys & Train Sets

I don't think there are many boys (young & not so young) that have never had or dreamt of having a train set. There is always something quite fasinating about watching a train in motion. I have an ambition of travelling from the East to West coast of Australia by train one of these days.

This is a sneak peak from the new Spring Mini that goes live on 1st August. It is called "Choo Choo" and is a set of 5 stamps. The track is a matching small wheel and I couldn't resist either when I saw them.

The colours are Whisper White, Not Quite Navy and Kiwi Kiss. It doesn't show up in the photo unfortunately but I put Chrystal Effects on the clouds to add a bit of interest.
