32 weeks and counting.....

we had a sizing scan this week and bubs is currently 32 weeks old but is measuring about 35 weeks. so another big bubba is on its way!!! convention has been and gone but i thought i had better show off the 'purple frankie' swaps i did for it. i had a ball making these and they are an adaption of my previous green frankenstein ones i did earlier for an essential baby card swap. these were made with some lovely lilac , basic black and gloss white card stock. i punched out the eyes and nose and added some frayed edge hair-you know the kind you loved making at school : ). then i put the mouths and scars on with black journalling pen-i got bored doing the same face so had a bit of a play with different expressions...some of my frankies are looking a little stoned : ) these next cards were made for an essential baby card swap. these were the other ones that went with the little miss naughty ones i showed you all before. they are trifold cards and i used up some old patterned card stock (not su stuff...ssssshhh). the front has the pretty as a princess stamp set coloured in with water colour pencil and a dab of glitter. this was cut out and stuck onto glorious green card stock which was then stuck onto cameo coral which then had a plain thin white ribbon attached to it and stuck onto the front. i used the scallop edge punch and poked holes in the scallop part to add some interest (oh and to meet the optional extras of the card swap which was paper peircing). the next fold has the princess phrase on it and inside the card is happy birthday with the wand and flower images stamped in lovely lilac ink. these next cards are for this months card swap. the theme is 'just a note to say...' and the technique was masking. these cards are envelope cards with the template from mirkwood designs http://www.ruthannzaroff.com/mirkwooddesigns/templates.htm). this site rocks and always has great templates that are user friendly. i also cuttlebuggged the inside card with some embossing folders and rubbed over them with some ink and a dauber. i have done them all in different colours as i wanted to use up some old existing non-su card stock i have lying about. my masking was done with retired stamp sets and the writing was done on the computer with word art and then punched out to add to the flower with a brad from my stash. then i added some ribbon to each card and dibby dabby daubered around all the edges where needed. cheers ears Chicken: [trying to cheer up Cow] I know you hate being ugly, but someone has to make everbody else look good.
