Final week as Guest designer for LCI O Baby challenge and Baby Billie Bear stamp release

Incredibly 4 weeks have slipped by and I am here today to share with you my final Guest designer card for Kerry of Ladybug Crafts Ink. Remember that you have just one more week to enter the O baby, anything goes challenge here.  The closing date is 3 June. With perfect timing her little grandson Coen arrived last week. Many congratulations to her and her lovely family. Coen is such a little cutie.

In case you missed my post last week....did I tell you that I am going to be a Nanna ;0) Yes it's true, my darling daughter is expecting our first grandchild on 8 Nov. These baby cards have been such relevant practice for me to get my baby card making skills honed up.Thank you for all the emails,  comments,  good wishes and even cards you have sent me, what a great bunch you all are.

So here is my final card and this time it is a male version of Billie with rattle which I made for little Coen. This release is so sweet and there are 11 others in the set. I made another easel card and went for really bright colours.

The light has been awful this week and I really struggled to get the vibrancy of these colours with my camera, it is a really sunny yellow in real life.

Above is the inside, the easel front of the card rests on the top edge of the sweet duck tag when it is opened. I won these great baby cardboard embellies some months ago.
Below is a close up of my stamp; cute isn't here and you can buy him here for the bargain price of £1.75

Before I forget my 2 winning commentators from my post last week are

Jane  of The craft bucket
and
Lisa  of Ella's Designs (yes 2 weeks in a row, you must be on a lucky streak!)


Well done ladies, you each win Billie with rattle, please email me and I will send him right over.

I coloured Billie with my Promarkers and highlighted with my Prismacolor pencils. You will spot my great Memory Box precious stars die cuts which are a new set following the success of the precious heart dies..they are so useful.

I would like to thank Kerry and the Ladybug girls again for having me as a GD for a whole month. It's been great fun but quite a juggle for me to get a new card made every week. My dear Hb has been very patient...thank you Mx.

Amazingly I have received some Design Team offers but I am really sorry to say that at this point in time I would struggle to commit to being a regular part of a DT. I am truly delighted and thrilled to think that there are people out there who think my cards are worthy of such things! Thank you. However, as with Kerry, I am  interested in occasional Guest Design opportunities. I find these really great fun and fit in with my "other" job working as a musculoskeletal specialist Physiotherapist for the NHS. My crafting time is limited but please do email me if you feel I could be a worthy guest designer for your team.

So before we leave Baby Billie I thought I would put all my 4 cards together as a montage;

I hope you enjoyed seeing them here all together and if you have the time I would value a little feedback...which was your favourite? I find it so interesting how 2 stamps can look so very different.

Thanks as always for your kind visits and welcome to my new followers, I hope you enjoy your journey with me....exciting baby times.

Back soon,

Bye for now,

Jane x
