Something New

The latest dare from Daring Cardmakers is for something NEW. I decided on a baby card, I had the photo stickers for ages and I've seen some cards with this layout and it seemed to fit. The papers are out of my scrap box and some of the rub ons I think are chatterbox. The card below was my first attempt using caardvarks challenge using a Becky Fleck card map and Daring Cardmakers challenge NEW but the finish card looks like a new home card for a haunted house and DD agreed with me. I used BG for it, why is it when BG bring out loads of new papers I pick the wrong one. For some reason the photo looks a lot lighter than in real life, its quite dark.
Now Sis has been concerned that I haven't had any parcels delivered which I just said that I haven't brought anything crafty, so just for my Sister I have brought something crafty from Amazon (sorry tried to link but it didn't work) Francoise Read 100 Great Ways with rubber stamping. I may now get into trouble for not checking to see if she wanted one too.

Wow they are so wonderful. Really nice work.

The baby card is absolutely gorgeous. The new home card could be for someone moving into a house which needs renovating - lovely papers though. The valentines card is stunning Debby, love the embossed hearts and the Tilda card is just fabulous.

Oh that baby card is just too precious! Love the way it has a hanging tag of sorts with the frames, very neat!! The other card is cool too, but of course as a grandma in waiting my attention gets totally sucked in by baby stuff LOL

I really love the new home card, it reminds me of how i always imagined the Weasley's house to look like in Harry Potter before the films were made, just imagine it in real life - painted in quirky colours - I'd live there - but then Iam a bit strange I think!!

Great cards, I love the framed baby stickers!

Great use of the photo stickers - I wouldn't know where to start with those. I do see what you mean about the new home one - I think that towering house is probably a bit difficult. Maybe candy colours on the house itself would help to shift it away from the Adams Family look?! I like the layout of that card, though.

Fabby cards and the baby one is stunning

Love your new baby card, the pictures in the hanging frames is a really great idea. Really like the BG papers on the second one.

Rhi said...

Fantastic cards. I really like the New Home one, I'm a sucker for BG papers! Happy New Year!

Interesting article. It is very unfortunate that over the last ten years, the travel industry has had to handle terrorism, SARS, tsunamis, flu virus, swine flu, and the first ever true global recession. Through it all the industry has proven to be robust, resilient and dynamic, finding new ways to deal with difficulty. There are always fresh challenges and opportunities to which the industry must again adapt and react.
