Sweet Baby...

Hey & Happy Monday!

I do hope that your week has started well?

Mine started EARLY, 5:45am to be exact, all thanks to a little bean that decided it was time to get up and was refusing to go back to sleep even in mummy and daddy's bed. He was shortly joined by his brother and they were demanding breakfast! There is one thing I've learned with these beans and that is when they are hungry, they are HUNGRY! 

Anyway, onto some baby talk (nope, I am not pregnant and nor will I be anytime in the future!) a CCAD college friend of mine Abbie, who also did some work experience with Uniko back in 2013 recently (8 weeks ago) had a baby boy... Rory James Paul. 

Yep, I am a super bad at taking this long to make a card :( but here is what I made in the end...

Of course I had to give Sweet Baby a dust off and ink up AND no surprises really that I made a shaker card too ;) I had planned on sharing this card on Friday and to link up at last weeks Less is More challenge, but I simply ran out of time. Story of my life at the moment!

Short and sweet tonight as I've still a few emails to catch up on and this mummy needs some sleep! Thanks for stopping by and see you tomorrow for my CAS Colours & Sketches card.

Hugs

CAS - Colours & Sketches #155

Hey & YAY!

I can finally share my exciting news...

I am super duper pleased to say I am again part of a challenge Design Team & this time for another of my favourite challenges, CAS - Colours & Sketches. 

As you know I am a huge fan of challenges & they really help me to spark my creativity and I have missed being on a challenge DT since I stepped down from the TIME OUT Challenges DT.

Just a little FIY too, Uniko is sponsoring the TIME OUT Challenge HERE and you can see my post about it HERE. I've used the challenge colours below too, so more inspiration for you ;)

Anyway, back to my excitement! Along with me joining the team at CAS - Colours & Sketches they are also welcoming Caroline, Karen & Liz to the current team of Patricia, Stef, Jane & Louise. I'm excited to join this challenge & the fun begins today with a colour challenge...

What a lovely colour combo, don't you think? Suitable for so many occasions as you will see from the CC&S DT HERE. 

This is what I came up with...

One of my 'mummy' friends who has a little girl 2 months younger than the beans had a little baby boy just days before Christmas and this is the card I made to congratulate them. 

I have used Uniko's Sweet Baby clear stamp set along with a Papertrey Ink die that I have adapted to create a window. I added some clear Wink Of Stella to the die cut and some sparkly stars to add a little sparkle to the design. The teddy bear is adhered to the card using foam adhesive for added interest & dimension.

Ok, that's all from me today, I will be back tomorrow with more to share. Until then, thank you for stopping by and hope to see you joining in on the challenge :)

News...!

Hey!

What a gorgeous Spring day it is here in the NE of England :) the sun is shining and it's pretty hot out there! I do love the sun and warm weather, but this afternoon whilst the little beans are napping I've been making a card, so I am back as promised with this to share & some news...

So, I am a little late sharing the news here at Uniko Studio, but our lovely Gillian & husband welcomed their precious baby boy James George Ross into the world on April 1st. Congratulations Gillian he is so cute. Be sure to stop by Gillian's blog HERE and send your best wishes.

It was only right that I inked up Sweet Baby and as always I couldn't resist using the bear ;) I coloured him simply with SU! markers and fussy cut him out before adhering him to some note book die cuts. These are mounted to the card base using foam adhesive.

CASology even said it themselves, but they have a rather fitting challenge on their blog this week, the theme being NEWS! Gillian is a DT member over there too, so they are having a little celebration & it's only right I join in & link my card up over there. Be sure to check out the challenge HERE.

Ok, that's all from me today, I can hear and see movement on the bean monitor! I'll be back again on Saturday with another card to share & a Design Team Blog Hop :) 

Until then, thank you for stopping by today.
