Pretty In Pink Baby Card

Happy Monday from a very stormy and wet Luxembourg. I hope the weather’s good where you are?

This week marks a very significant change for me as next monday I’m going to be having a full hysterectomy done. Without going into lots of horrid details basically it’s something I’m actually looking forward to as it’s been a long while coming. By a twist of fate this weekend was Mothers Day here as if to make a point but I’m not sad about it, in fact I think I’m ready for this next phase of my life. I’ve had my beautiful girls and couldn’t want anything more. Grandmother-hood bring it on.

Funnily enough I was also asked to make this new baby card recently which also set me off thinking about grandkids.

Pretty, girly and sweet with a pinch of glitter was the brief I set for myself so that’s what I did using my WOW embossing glitter and some shiny Glintz powders to cover my die cuts.

I love the dimension too it really brings it all to life.

It’s up on the WOW blog today and if you haven’t taken part in the hop yet I suggest you go over there and first read my post and then find out about the hop. There are some super prizes to be won.

Anyway I’m off as I’ve a busy week ahead.

Lots of love

WOW Embossing Powders and Honey Bee Stamps blog hop

Hello there and welcome if you’re new here. I’m thrilled to be taking part in this hop between WOW and Honey Bee Stamps. I was sent this gorgeous package from Honey Bee and I couldn’t wait to play with the goodies inside.

They very generously sent me a fabulous flower border stamp and die called Zen Floral which has a very useful die to go with it. I used it to create this bordered card along with a Honey Cuts die called Hello Gorgeous Words.

Foiled Projects

We’re already half way through April and before you know it we’ll be in May and looking forward to Summer. That does scare me a little bit. When I was younger time seemed to drag by so very slowly I was wishing my days away but now I think it’s like being on a bob slay ride. I’ve still got lots of things to cross off my to do list from New Year and new things are being added all the time.  It’s the same for all of us I suppose. We just have to make every second count and try not to waste any.

The reason for the rant was because I can see from my blog that I’ve not been keeping my posts up as frequently as I should. Time has been going by so fast I’ve not had chance some weeks to sit and write.  Anyway, I think you’d much prefer the pretty pictures so here are a few.

Last week I had a project up on the WOW blog where this months theme is Foils. I adore using foils especially through a stencil as I did here.

At the same time WOW are also running their monthly challenge over on the their Facebook group where anyone can join in with a project. Again Foils are the theme and here I simply used the foil with some double sided tape to create a border around my April bullet journal page.

I’m practicing my hand lettering too and the more I do the better it gets.

Have a good week

Jaine xx
