Some Odd Girl - New Baby

Hi guys!

I have a new baby card to share today! One of the girls I work with had a beautiful little bundle of joy yesterday, they named her Summer! I wanted to make a special card to take to work, for everyone to sign, to congratulate her and her partner on their new addition... So, here it is -

As soon as I knew she'd had the baby, I went looking for a specific digi stamp, I knew I'd seen in the Some Odd Girl Shop... I found Baby Snuggle Kaylee, and knew she'd be perfect for the card that was floating in my head!

I printed her out on some plain white cardstock, and coloured her up using my Spectrum Noir Markers. I tried to make her look as much like my work mate as possible... I don't know if it worked though.... I then built my card... I used scrap pieces of patterned paper, mostly from My Minds Eye, and die-cut a bunch of Hexagons (MFT Die-Namic) and doodled around the edges before layering them on to Kraft card. I embossed some more white card, and layered up my hexagons. The sentiment is from SU! and was die-cut using my favourite banner die. The "button" is just a circle die cut from some glitter cardstock, with two holes  punched into it, and twine tied through. 

Here is the close up -

Scrapbooking with Project Life - Giveaway!

Hello!

I'm here to share a scrapbook page made using some bits from a Project Life kit that I bought from the store... I bought lots of little bits and pieces, for my Smash journal, and have yet to get into Project Life, so I was thinking of other ways to use my bits and bobs on cards and scrap pages... Here is what I made today!

I started out with a piece of patterned paper from Echo Park, layered it up with a chipboard overlay, which I've left raw.. I gathered my supplies... I used a piece from Photo Freedom (EPP), and one of the reverses of OA Midway Journaling Card.  (it's the silver stars)

I used some of my favourite washi tapes - Black Chevron and Yellow Stripe, then added a crochet doily and flower, a button and a wood veneer in the shape of a heart, as well as a hat pin. Above the washi tape - there is a Amy Tangerine sticker.

On this side, there is a findingnana button, from Honeycomb & Chevron, a speech bubble from WeRMK stamp set, called Text Messages (keep an eye on the store, they'll be up soon), and the little hearts are from The Alley Way Stamps, which I have coloured in with my Spectrum Noirs 

I am entering this into the Stuck?! sketches Feb 15 Challenge

Now, I do have a giveaway too.... 

Want to win the 2 rolls of washi tape I used on this page?!

All you need to do, is comment on this post (at the Stamp Spot blog) before the 28th of February... I will draw a winner from the comments! So, comment on!
