Welcome Little Princess

It's been a while since I made a baby card but my cousin just became a grandma, so I finally had an excuse to make something.   It's amazing now to have 4 generations alive in my family. I'm not sure it's happened before, or at least for a very long time. 

I have used the very cute 'Little Princess' from A Day For Daisies, plus the following products:

• Cream cardstock
• Recollections designer paper
• Pearls
• X-Cut dies - New Baby Icons
• ProMarkers - Satin, Almond, Mustard, Tulip, Carmine, Rose Pink, Baby Pink, Blue Pearl & Powder Blue

I am entering my card into the following challenges:

1. The Ribbon Girl - September Card Challenge AG
2. Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge - September AG
3. Pammie's Inky Pinkies - #1737 AG
4. Crafty Gals Corner - #140 Add A Heart

April Challenge at Crafting With An Attitude

It's time for a new challenge over at Crafting With An Attitude. Our sponsor this month is A Day For Daises and I'm sad to say that after this they will no longer be sponsoring any blog challenges. The winner will receive a $12 voucher to spend on anything in the store. 

I had a birthday coming up for my friend's little girl back home, and I chose the perfect image for her. (I've been told that she thinks it's her in the picture, so a definite win!). 'Holding Fireflies with Wings' is actually a freebie in the shop that I downloaded a while ago and hadn't actually used yet. It's such a sweet image for a little girl. I dressed it up with a simple background of grass and sky. 

Products I have used to create my card:

• Michael's Kraft card blank
• Embossing folder (free from a magazine)
• Spellbinders frame die
• DoCrafts sticky ribbon
• Yellow Ranger Stickles
• ProMarkers - Apricot, Saffron, Blush, Satin, Raw Sienna, Mustard, Tulip, Buttercup, Antique Pink, Pastel Pink, Pale Pink, Black, Aegean, Cyan, Duck Egg, Cool Aqua, Pumpkin, Amber, Cool Grey 1 & 3, Powder Blue, Pine, Forest, Apple, Cobalt, Sky Blue & Canary

2. TTCRD - AG April 4-10
3. 613 Avenue Create - #196 AG/twist Spring
4. Crafting By Designs - AG April

Into April and it's actually starting to feel a bit like spring here in Saskatchewan now, although there is still some snow about.

I am using 'Pearls In My Hair', as after seeing it on a few cards recently I had to have it! I've made a birthday card for my friend, which I've already given her so I know I'm safe to share it online!
