For my card I chose Frieda Flapper  from Kenny K and she can be found here.

I had so much fun making this card. I was hoping for a cabaret feel to it.  I have a friend who is in a senior dance group that puts on a production every year.  I know she will appreciate Frieda for sure.

New Baby Card for Twins

Hi everyone,  Hope you've had a good week and have something fun planned for the weekend.

We're off to a wedding tomorrow and I'm so looking forward to a party.
 It's been ages since we took a spin around the dance floor...hope we still remember how.
Weather looks like it might co-operate in the afternoon...keeping fingers crossed. 

Today starts a new challenge at Totally Papercrafts and the theme is Birthday or New Baby card.

Our wonderful sponsor this week is

 

  I needed to make a baby card for the principal at my granddaughters dance school....she gave birth to twin boys and they are absolutely gorgeous.  I'm happy she liked the card and has given it a prominent place in the babies room.

Once again I used my Graphic 45 papers from the Lullaby collection.  I also used the core-dinations matching cardstock and distressed the edges.  Love it when papers match.  The base is SU very vanilla, cut using SB Grand Labels One die.  The inner layer was hand cut.  SU Radiant Rectangles used for the sentiment panel, created in Word.

I would like to enter the the following challenges:

DT Card for Totally Papercrafts Challenge #183

Hi everyone, and happy Friday. It's been so much cooler here this week. I do love the sunny days and cool nights of late summer.   I'm off to buy some fresh Niagara peaches at the farmers market later this morning....mmm they are so good this time of year.   Perhaps they will find their way into a pie this weekend.

**********************************************************************************

We've a new challenge starting at Totally Papercrafts and our lovely Cathy of (Kraftykookat) would like to see Red/Black plus the option of white.   Our fabulous sponsor this week is one of my favourites "Delicious Doodles".   I've used an adorable image by Teri called "Panda Love".

I've made a gatefold card for a change.  Image was coloured with Copics C9, C7, C5, C3, C1 and a small amount of 100.  I dry embossed the red paper with M-Bossabilities Decorative Fancy Tags Two embossing folder.  I found by placing the folder on top of the BigShot Platform, adding 1 pc. of cardstock for a shim, then placed one acrylic plate on top it worked for me.  I wasn't going to buy the raspberry spacer plate since I am nervous of using my 2nd Grand Calibur after the first one broke.  I keep it only for my GC dies.  The corners were made using an old ProvoCraft corner die and the medallion is SB Lattice die.  Card measures 6x6 in.

I would like to enter the following challenges:
4 Krafty Girlz Challenge #1 - Anything Goes
Addicted to Stamps and More - Anything Goes
Simon Wednesday Challenge Blog - Animals
Make it Monday #156
Crafty Little Fairies Challenge - Cute n Cuddly

Thanks you so much for stopping by. We'd love it if you could play along with us this week - there is a great prize from Delicious Doodles for the lucky winner.

Hugs,
