Yer 'avin a giraffe!

Just had to run up a quick card today, for a 1 year old.

I don't make many cards for little ones, so I was a bit stumped.

Hope that this giraffe fits the bill  :-)

When I need to make something quickly I usually turn to a sketch for inspiration - and this fab one came from Tracy Shultz over at Card Patterns.

I am also entering this for the challenges at Papertake, who have a 'Creature Comforts' theme and Ladybug Crafts, where the theme is 'Animals'.

Ladybug Crafts has gone Digi this week, so they also have a new release and a fun blog hop.

Supplies -
Digi Stamp - Dustin Pike, Birthday Giraffe, coloured with Copics.
DP - DCWV Nana's Nursery, Baby Boy/Girl
Martha Stewart Lace Border Punch
Sentiment from Craftwork Cards.
Ribbon from my stash.

New House Party

Hi there everyone....
My youngest daughter is moving out soon.

She will be starting her 2nd year at Uni and is moving
in to a new house.

She is sharing with 1 other girl and 3 boys,
so I made this little gift as a house warming present for them
and tried not to make it too girly.

For the card I followed a great sketch over at
Stampin' for the Weekend.
Pop on over and check them out -
they are a fab challenge blog with lots of brilliant work form their DT.

Card Recipe:

Digital Stamp - Dustin Pike, coloured with whispers pens
and added glossy accents.

Design Paper - DCWV, Nana's Nursery, Baby Girl
'Party' stamp - My sentiments exactly, Adrienne's.
I made the other text up on my comp.

I made a small tag for the Jack Daniels,
using the same design paper
and again made the text up on the comp.
I wrapped some paper round the cokes and added another
Dustin Pike image.

I know the pics aren't great,

I really must practice my camera skills.
It's on my long list of things to do!!

Have a good weekend.

random containers, then this is the challenge for you.
