High Hopes Baby Collage

The stamp used today is High Hopes "Baby Collage". This stamp could be used for a variety of projects and would also be great for a Scrapbook page or even to make baby announcement cards. It would be perfect for twins also as there is a space for two pictures. The sentiment sections are left blank so you can add your own wording. I printed mine on my computer. Coloured with my Primsacolour pencils using sansador and paper stumps to blend. The paper is by Basic Grey and is called "Oh Baby Girl" Karina. I also used Bazzill bling in colours Envy and In the Pink. The brads are MM Shimmer - Polo. The ribbons from my own stash. The little cutie is my daughter Danni when she was one. She is now 3 but still going through her terrible twos!

Laura Ashley Card

This card is made using the new gorgeous Laura Ashley papers. The Brad is also part of a set by Laura Ashley. The range can be found here and i'm sure you will agree that the paper packs are excellent value.

I also used twinkling H2o's which are just so beautiful. You can see from the angle that I have taken from the photo below that the added sparkle adds that little extra.

Traditional 'CJ Entry'

i have used the yummie Laura Ashley Collage stamp set, they are perfect for making corners and filling 'white space' or in my case blue :)

The papers are from the Traditional LA paper pack, the Sticky ribbon, and embellishment stickers too

For the monogram letters I have used the Bay 6 lower case alpha chipboard letters, covered them with paper and sand them down

High Hope Baby Rubber Stamps

Baby Boy
The baby's Blanket and the Teddy Bears Bow was coloured with Twinkling H2O's. I applied the paint with my Watercolour Pen. This is the first time I have used the H2O's and love them! They are so smooth to apply and the picture does not do the twinkle justice! I will certainly be buying more of these!

What I love about this range is that there are so many different embellishments, papers, ribbons and stamps to complement each other!

I have also used Millie with flowers in the 2nd card, she is one of Silly Monkey's own range of stamps :)
