Cards for the Five Sister's Zoo Appeal on Do-crafts

Evening All,

After a lady on docrafts (JoyceMc) put an appeal out for cards to help raise funds for the Five Sister's Zoo after they had a devastating fire which completely destroyed their Reptile house.  I decided it would be lovely to help so have set myself a target of 10 cards to start with and then see where I go from there.

My card making has taken a back seat for the last five weeks due to the birth of my son who is taking up a lot of my time at the moment but he is doing well.  Here is a picture of him with his nan taken today.

Here are the cards I have made so far for the Zoo

The two animal images are from Delicious Doodles.
The houses are from Digi Stamp Boutique and have been coloured in with Promarkers.
Various embossing folders used.
Senitment have been computer generated.
All other card, gems, pearls and ribbon from my stash.

If you would like to know more about the Zoo please go to their website here.

Sympathy card for Sandra (Dec O Cards - Docrafts)

Good evening

The card I am sharing with everyone today is for a member of docrafts (Dec O Cards) who sadly passed away recently.  She will be greatly missed as she was always one of the first people to offer help or support to anyone who needed it.  May she Rest In Peace.

Introducing little John Alan

Evening All

I know this is not craft related but I thought you all would like to meet our new baby son John Alan.

Born by C-Section (Not by choice I will say)
On Friday 22nd March 2013
Weight 6lb 8oz

Gave us a little scare as he was sent to the Baby special care unit as his blood sugars dropped and went cold so they kept him for a couple of days.  Felt very odd not to have him by my side in hospital but he was in the best place to get him better.  We finally came home yesterday at 7pm after 6 days in hospital.

Thanks you cards for the Hospital

Evening all

I thought I would get ahead with making some thank  you cards for the midwives and my consultant that has been looking after me at the hospital for the last 38 weeks.  We are still not sure whether I will be having a c-section on Thursday next week or being induced on the Friday as little one was in the right position on Thursday last week but I am sure he has moved again.

So here are the cards that I have made so far: -

Digi Stamp from Digi Stamp Boutique
Centre Butterfly coloured with Promarkers
Embossed design done on my hougie board
Sentiment was computer generated using the Scriptina script.
All other card and pearls from my stash

This card was inspired by the samples made by Kerry (Pickle) over on the digi stamp boutique blog with my own little take on them. I hope Kerry I have done them justice.

I would like to enter these cards into the following challenges:-

One Stop Craft Challenge - # 220 - Anything Goes
Digi Stamp Boutique - March 13
Cute Card Thursday - challenge 260 - Anything Goes

First Mother's Day card.

Good Afternoon All

Well I am now in my second week of my maternity leave, little one is due on the 21st march and will either be born by C-section if he is still breach or I will be induced on that day so big changes for us this month.  I will admit that I am praying that he does turn round so I can be induced as I do not fancy a C-Section at all.

Any way that is my little news for this month and now onto the first of my mother's day cards that I need to make.
