SWEET STAMPIN - PRETTY IN PINK

Well - apologies firstly for being a week late with my card for Sweet Stampin's Pretty in Pink - sometimes real life gets in the way even for us crafters and I had a bit of a family crisis.

My Pretty in Pink is a card I recently made for my daughter's baby shower - my darling girl was told she would never have children but this year she proved them all wrong.  Her little girl Hazel was born 6 weeks prematurely but mum and baby coped really well.  She is now nearly 10 weeks old and is such a delight.  My daughter didn't really want a baby shower - it's not really something we do here in the UK although it is becoming more popular but her friends wanted her to have one so we did a surprise one at our home.  

I cut out the shape by hand and used Stampin Up's Powder Pink card stock and their cable knit embossing folder.  My daughter loves cable knit jumpers!  The little images are from SU's First Steps set which I bought especially with baby Hazel in mind.

The ribbon is some I found in the Range - luckily we knew she was going to be a little girl!


 

SWEET STAMPIN - INTERNATIONAL DAY OF FAMILIES

May 15th was the International Day of Families and to celebrate Sweet Stampin have chosen this theme as their challenge this week.  I am so excited to be awaiting the birth of my first grandchild - something we didn't think may happen as my darling daughter has had a few issues.  But baby is due in July.  I've been playing with the Stampin Up set First Steps with this event in mind.  The pink may  just give it away lol!

I used the retired hearts embossing folder and some retired SU Designer Series Paper for the background heart.  Stitched framelits were used for all the hearts.
