Pssst.... did you hear?

Hiya Peoples!  I'm so sorry for my very sporadic posting... I actually have some news!   My husband and I are expecting our very first baby in March next year and things are going to a little bit hectic for us for a while.

As well as the normal pregnancy hormones that have completely stolen my mojo, we are also pretty busy with work and will be until we finish up here in Greece in November.   Then we have to find a way to move our stuff back to NZ, buy a house in NZ, cars, baby stuff and find a job for my husband all before March!  It's a bit of a stressful but happy time for us.  

So now you know... that's why I haven't been posting!  I'm finishing up on all my design teams now or shortly and will likely continue to only post sporadically for a while as my life takes a new direction.  I'll definitely update with some baby pictures in March though!

So... once again I don't have a card to share for Little Miss Muffet Stamps today, but I did want to let you know that there is an awesome new release over on the challenge blog today as well as a fabulous freebie in honour of Zoe from Make it Crafty's birthday!  Pop on over and check out what all the excitement is about!

I'll be back next week with some Some Odd Girl stuff!

Ciao!

Hi Guys!  So sorry this is s little bit late!  My lovely husband took me out for a birthday dinner last night and I totally forgot to schedule my post!

We are on to day two of celebrations and releases over at Tiddly Inks in our 2nd anniversary celebration and today I have a frame for you download, but first let me show you my card using Wryn Happy Heart, Wryn's Tree (currently a freebie) and my frame (you can download that at the bottom of my post).

I used Christy's PNG files again and put the tree inside the frame with Wryn just in front of it (all in Word with the images set to 'Text Wrapping - Tight' so I could move them around).    I coloured the scene with copics (see details below) and added Gold Stickles to the detail on the frame.  I drew the clouds in with copics as well.

The papers are a mixture from my stash, the ribbon is from The Ribbon Girl and the heart embellishments are actually staples from my new magnetic Pin It tool (see my post here).

Here's a close-up of Wryn Happy Heart:

And here are the copics I used:

And finally here is my frame for you to download!  Hopefully if you just left click on it to enlarge it, you should be able to right click and save it to your computer.  If it doesn't work, please let me know in the comments.
