No Squares Allowed!

No squares allowed????? Lyndsey, how could you do this to me??!!! For someone who rarely strays from a square card this was a real challenge for me. I did think I'd do a rectangle card but that really is just a square card that's been stretched lol.

Before I show you my card I want to thank everyone who entered our Winter Wonderland Challenge...you can see if you're one of the winners on the Challenge Blog. Also for all the lovely comments on our new Silly Snowmen release...there's a lot of Snowman love out there!

On to my card. I was extremely time challenged this week for all sorts of reasons but thankfully I remembered I had this card I made months ago and hadn't quite finished. All I did last night was add the button and the sentiment and voila! card done lol. 

This was my first time printing and colouring Baby Billie ABC...it's such a cute image. After colouring it with my Copics I cut it out with a circular Nestie and stitched it to a scalloped mat. I ran a pink circle through my Ebosser embossing only half of it with my button embossing folder then stitched around it before sticking it to the scalloped circle card blank.

The sentiment is a Lasting Impressions Senti-metal. I added Baker's twine to the button, Glossy Accents to the ABC and glitter to Billie's heart.

Nicole's friend had a little girl the other day so will give this to her :-D

I must warn you ....the following pictures are EXTREMELY cute ... well being a biased Grandma I would say that lol!

Coen is 17 weeks tomorrow and is developing a great little personality. Nicole has started giving him baby rice which he wasn't all that about at first but he's getting used to the texture and eating from a spoon. We're getting spontaneous smiles ... I love it when he looks at me and gives me one of his gorgeous smiles. Then there's the giggles...I LOVE it when he laughs and end up laughing too :-D

That's it from me today....I hope you have a great Tuesday!

Thanks for stopping by

Catch ya later x

Oh Baby Week 4 a little late

 Hello peeps! Yes I'm late but I have a good explanation...I was abducted by aliens...actually that's a lie lol. After I posted on the challenge blog my laptop decided to play up then Coen and Nicole came by and that was it...Glam'mas attention was no longer on cards lol.

Coen is a week old today...can you believe it????!!! I made him a card ... I had an idea in mind and it ALMOST turned out like wanted :-D The main thing is that Nicole and Ben loved it...Nic even went as far as to say it was my best ever card lol. Not sure about that but I'll take it ;-D

I've used B is for Baby ... I actually started the card BEFORE Coen was born. I thought I'd get a head start and make the base card and do an image suitable for a boy and a  girl then all I'd have to do was attach the appropriate one when the baby was born. I printed the B on pink and blue pp and cut out the blue one first, no problem (don't look to close lol) But for the life of me I couldn't cut out the pink...I printed it 3 times and messed each one up...I'm now thinking it was a sign lol. 

I cut out the heart with my Nestie then put it through my Ebosser with the button embossing folder. After coloring and paper piecing the B I centered it in the heart and stitched around it. I cut out buttons with my Die-namics button threading the holes with twine and gluing them to the card with my hot glue gun for a bit of dimension.

Hmmm...I think I'll be getting my magnifying glasses on the next time I decided to paper piece :-S From a distance it looks fab lol

 I cut out buttons with my Die-namics button threading the holes with twine and gluing them to the card with my hot glue gun for a bit of dimension. 

I wanted to cut out Coen's name but had sold all my alphabet dies...or so I thought. I had a light bulb moment, remembering I had a few Quick Kutz alphabets that I had planned on selling on Ebay...me thinks not now ... I love how his name turned out.

I embossed the bottom of the inside panel with the button folder but you can't really see it from this picture.

Thank you everyone for your congratulations and good wishes since Coen was born. Everything they say about being a grandma is true and I'm loving every minute. I can't get enough of this little guy...he is absolutely perfect though I reserve the right to retract that statement when he hits the Terrible Two's lol.

Catch ya later xx

Oh Baby week 2

I was hoping to give you some fabulicious news this morning but unfortunately there is no sign of a baby hmph! Nic was due yesterday but didn't have so much as a twinge hmph hmph!! She and Ben were over for dinner and Ruby never left Nic's side. Wherever she turned Ruby was there so it made us think that maybe she knew something was going to happen...or maybe not???

Anywho the waiting continues and so do the Baby Billie cards! This week I've used Twins....I just love this image. Let me know what you thunk...

I think it's pretty cute but it took time lol. I love the pp...it's from Forever Friends. I treated myself to the Boofle patchwork triboss folder I've used on the oval behind the twins. It was on sale in Hobby Craft for £3...a bargain :-D

I printed, colored and cut out the twins adding Glossy Accents and glitter to their hearts and Zig spica sparkle to the safety pins
