Card for a Child

Hello, and welcome!

Oh dear........I'm afraid I couldn't come up with a snazzy post title.....not that I ever do...haaaa!....but today, I'm struggling to keep my eyes open, so this post might be a case of "spot the typo"...lol......

I've had a sore throat for a couple of days, and now my left ear is hurting, and my glands are swollen......and somebody is clickin' away on a keyboard, and it hurts my head......okay, that'll be me then, haaa......

Today's challenge at 

Card Crafter's Circle

is

CHILDREN

so we want to see a card (or any other creation) for a child.....easy-peasy!

Our sponsor today is the fabulous

 

and the wonderful owner, Mary Ellen,  is generously offering 3 of the images that have been used by our Design Team to the randomly chosen winner, so you need to hop over to the challenge blog to see what you fancy......all the team members have come up with some great inspirational creations, this week!

Our twin grandchildren, Adam and Freya, will be turning 4 in September, and I made this card with Freya in mind........just have to remember to make something for Adam, too....haaa.....

I really like making these step cards.....one cut, one fold....done!

How d'you like my new Spellbinder's Office Supplies dies?  I love 'em.....especially since they were FREE!  I won them over at the CROPSTOP, recently and can't put them down....too cute!

Well, you know what I'm like....freebies make up a lot of my crafty stash, and these papers are no exception.....they came with a magazine, and you might remember that I've used 'em before......yummy!

Isn't she a darlin'?  I enjoyed colouring her with the ol' Promarkers....some are running out (eeek).....and I love it when I can "dress" my images in outrageous colours....my kiddles would have divorced me as their Mum if I'd dressed 'em like this....haaaaa!

D'you see the drops on the ice cream.....and dribbles?.......my Sakura Glaze pen has run out, too.....(double eek), so I used dots of white Gesso.....worked a treat and gave a bit of texture and dimension........oh, I'm sooo arty-farty.........

This lovely two-tone ribbon was part of another win......Crafty Ribbons, this time.......and I gave it a little twist, and anchored with two cute ladybirds that have been in my button stash for yonks........fly, likkle ladybirds, fly.......!

Sorry.......I've been sluggin' back the Benylin.........haaaaa...

This likkle label is part of that new Spellbinder's set........looks great in kraft with a bit of inking.......sorry....that's on another card,  lol.........

I used a number sticker and some teeny brads on this.........

A die from another label set, with a rub-on sentiment completes the card......yaaaaaaaaay!

Right, I'm off to try to catch Babbit before she chews more of me petunias.....wouldn't mind if she actually likes 'em.....she just chews 'em up and spits 'em out..........wascally wabbit!

Hugs,
