Baby Girl Card

I love making baby cards, but I seem to get asked to make more boy ones than girl ones! lol. :(  I do love a girly card as you can bling them up with diamontes and glitter! 

So, after hearing that recently some friends welcomed their baby girl into the world, I couldn't wait to get started on making this for them...

Birthday Boy

Where have the years gone to? Can you believe my nephew turned 7 years old yesterday! It feels only the other day that he was coming home from hospital!

Anyway, he's gone football mad recently and a supporter of Arsenal along with many other teams, lol, so I made this card below using many SU goodies.
