Hi,

Yet another day with 2 posts...so, this is me, it's either 2-3 posts a day or none for ages! I should try to be more consitent....Should be on my list for 2013 of things to get done!

This will be a quick post, I just wanted to post these cute little baby tags I made for a friends baby shower. Unfortunately I was unable to make it, but the little cuties did!

I used the Ciao Baby Set from the Spring Catalogue and the Two by Two stamp with Noah's ark. This has been my go-to stamp for babies recently! The last one I did for my sister in law in England was coloured with Copics, and it turned out GREAT! This time I simply did not have the time! For those of you that know Copics, you know it can take up to 1hr to colour one image! And for those of you that have not coloured with Copics before, I have 3 things to say:

1. Yeap, it seriously does take that long! All that blending takes ages to get perfect...I'm still not there yet, but getting more practice

2. Where have you been??

3. Seriously, don't get into them, they are EXPENSIVE! Trust my (my husband's) advice, your husband will thank you! Mine is seriously really supportive and wants to make me happy! Love you hon! (I know he reads my posts) You're awesome, and yes I do really need them! ALL of them

Now, I digress, where was I? Oh yes, the baby tags!

Hugs and hope you like the cuties :-)

Some of the latest baby cards I made for friends that have been blessed with a little bundle of joy :-) (well, I should hope they are all bundles of joy!).

I will only list the stamp set/wheel used for each one as it would take me too long to have a proper list of supplies used for all of the cards. If you want any more info on a particular card, just email me and I will try to remember.

"Washday" Wheel

For the Baby Pram I used circle punches or various sizes Stamp Set is "Fabulous Phrases"

 Retired SU set, not sure of the name...

For the next 2 I used "Bundle of Joy"

 "Little Princess"

"Two by two" WITH COPICS

 "Baby Prints"

Hope you like them. And if you ever need any cards, invites or any other paper crafts, or you know someone that does, I am always available for special orders!

Hugs,
