Welcome Little One - Yellow Version


Hi everyone. It seems I have less crafty time these days. Work has occupied most of my time...plus being tired after work really does it and with the weather getting hotter each day makes it more exhausting. Well, this is middle east after all!  

Anyway, today I have a card to share. The card was requested by a co-worker for her brother and sister-in-law who have a new baby girl. She wanted a yellow 'Welcome Little One"card.  


 I wanted to play along and create a card quickly and a sketch is a really great help so I use Mojo Monday 244  sketch.

Here's the card I have come up with using the sketch...


Welcome Little One
 


Other challenge blogs I love and wanted to share this card are:
Make It Monday #92 - Linky party  
Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes.  

This card is a yellow version from the Welcome Little One pink card  with a baby pram I created and posted a few weeks back. I sure have fun creating this card. 

Have a great and crafty day! 


Cheers,
irene

Welcome Little One - Pink

Hi everyone. Days have gone by so fast and it's been awhile since my last post. Was a bit busy with work. Well, today I have a card to share. One of my closest friend gave birth to a healthy baby girl. This is her second child; I'm the Godmother for the first one.

I used Mojo Monday 242 sketch for this card.


First, I needed to create a card quickly and the sketch was a great help. My card was done in no time! And second, it's been awhile since I played along. Here's what I have created...

Welcome Little One

I used different shades of pink cardstock and the pattern papers are from Graphic 45 Little Darlings Collection (Heaven Sent), Sweet Baby Love (Tickled Pink) which I got as freebie from Papercraft Inspiration Magazine and the ones on the pram wheel behind the buttons are from Basic Grey kissing booth (Heart Breaker) which were scraps from a previous project.


 
It's my first time to make a baby pram but I sure had fun creating it. I was quite happy too how the pink checkered button fit nicely with the brown button which I have secured together with a hemp cord. Added a strip of lace and ribbon. Finished the card off with layered fabric flowers and some die cut leaves.

 I am also sharing this card with Make It Monday.
 

 Challenges:
Mojo Monday 242
Make it Monday #90

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Cheers,
Irene
