Baby Cards & 50th Male

Neutral Baby Card
In a Marathon Run I managed to get all 4 cards done, they are simple but hey to the person I created them for they are wonderful, she was tickled pink, green and brown LOL

Brown & Pink Baby Girl
All Pink Baby Girl

















All cards are a huge A5 in size as they needed room for lots of signatures for people.  I used KaiserCraft papers on everything, can't remember the name of them as I have had them for awhile and probably got them in the factory outlet when shopping with Dede. The flowers are from my stash I made some for myself ages ago and some are from purchases at shops,  I'm managing to use them up.  I like to have supplies on hand for moments like this it makes life so much easier to throw creations together.  The Die cuts are Sizzix and old too, I just keep on bringing them out time and time again.  As for the 50th card the celebrate, numbers and die shape that the number is sitting on is all cut with the Scan n Cut Machine and are part of the collection of cuts supplied with the machine.  Again the corners are the same ones used on the baby cards but inked in brown, so versatile they are.

Masculine Male
 I didn't realize the challenge that I had set myself, I was really under the gun so to say, but going from doing pretty and frilly, to masculine male I found that the hardest.  I tend to fly by the seat of my pants when crafting, I never plan things out on paper unless it is involving measuring and making things all fit.  I just picture something in my head and then it all evolves from there.  Do you craft like this? or are you like me and fly along and do whatever makes you happy along the way?  I suppose when I work with structure, rules, conditions and control I tend to want to go the opposite when crafting. This is my release from the structure,  I think that is the main reason behind my style.

Anyway hope you like them, I know the lady I was creating them for said they were perfect.

Have a happy day crafting and I would love to hear what you think.

I constantly fly by the seat of my pants Eliza ;D
There's nothing wrong with that when you produce such gorgeous cards as these.
Great cards that will surely be treasured.
Enjoy your weekend and thanks for calling by my place earlier.

Really lovely cards you've created...each one so special.
I like your collection of flower frogs too...they have great patina.
I hardly ever plan what I am going to make other than maybe have an image in mind or some inspiring words perhaps...
the fun for me is to get lost in the making and see what comes at the end.
