A new layout of William

I have not made as many layouts of my son, as I have of the girls, so I thought it was about time I made another one for him. And since Maja Design has some great boyish papers I decided to use some of that with some school pictures from 3 years ago. And considering that I think it is really hard to make masculine cards and layouts I am very pleased with the outcome.

A few close-ups:

Baby card

One of my colleagues had a baby boy at the end of March. The little boy wasn't due until here in May, so they were at the hospital for a while, but now they are at home. Due to the virus my colleague had to stay at the hospital the whole time, so we haven't seen him yet, and don't know when we will see him again, since we are all pretty much still work at home, but I have made a card now for them, so it is ready for when we can give him the baby's gift. This also gave me the oppurtunity to try out a new die set that I got for my birthday – the baby clothes line from Marianne Design. I am really happy with the outcome of this card, it's definitely one I will be making again.

Materials used:

ScrapAndMe – Blossom Blue collection

Cardstock – White, cream, craft, black and blue

Sue Wilson die – It's a boy

Marianne Design – CR1502 & COL1422

China dies – Doily and bow

Birthday cards for boys

My son was invited to a double birthday party so that required 2 cards. It was kind of last minute I made them, so to make it easy for myself I decided to make the 2 cards identical.

I used paper from UHK Gallery and the sentiment is also from them. It is actually from a Christmas collection, but can also be used as a birthday greeting. The squares are as usual cut out with dies from Spellbinders and for the numbers I used a Marianne Design die. The straws I found at a local supermarket.
