Foxy Friends, Hello Baby CC&S Challenge #210

Good morning beautiful people! I hope you have all had a wonderful weekend,mine was a mixed bag, one day busy and one day very relaxed. My weekend is Friday and Saturday as I work on Sundays, and on Friday there was a lot going on, new doors being installed, camera's fitted, a date with my magic man who poked and prodded my back working out the kinks and my baby girl went to the vets for the day to be spayed. 

As for Saturday I had to keep our girl Luna separated from Rocket as he so wanted her to play but she needs to rest. So she kept me company in the craft room napping peacefully on the couch while I got to making some cards to share with you, and this is one of them.

For today's card I wanted to join in the CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #210, this is a sketch challenge that looked like a lot of fun. I have also been wanting to have a play with the Foxy Friends Bundle and thought this would be a fun time to do so.

          

     

I started this card by using the Fox Builder punch to make my big orange fox and built the card from there, I was contemplating for some time what to put in the two smaller circles and finally decided to fussy cut out two of the foxes from the A Little Foxy DSP stack. It wasn't until the very end that I decided this card would best suit a baby card and I pulled out this super cute Hello Baby sentiment stamp from the Moon Baby stamp set.

I'm often guilty of neglecting the inside of my cards as I spend so long focusing on the outside, so for this card I wanted to take the time to add just a small little something to the inside to really tie it all together. For this I simply placed a piece of white card stock and a scrap strip of patterned paper from the front on the inside and stamped this cute sentiment.

Although I had no clear idea where this card was headed until it was done, I am still super happy with the outcome. Sometimes you just have to start playing and see where it leads you, if you want to have a play you can find the products I used below.

Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with special guest Georgia Giguere

Welcome to the second Crazy Crafters Blog Hop for February, this time we are have the pleasure of being joined by special guest Georgia Giguere. After scouring her blog of amazing projects, I finally managed to narrow it down to one card I wanted to CASE (Copy and Selectively Edit) for today's blog hop. I highly recommend having a look around her blog sometime when you have time to spare as she has some amazing cards there, you can get to the blog post that inspired me by clicking the image below.

I hope you have been enjoying the blog hop so far, whether you have been with this hop from the beginning or have only just stumbled across it I highly recommend using the list at the bottom of this post to find your way to all the other amazing creators taking part today.

For today's card i was inspired by Georgia's layout and I wanted to have a play with it, my first instinct was to make a valentines day card with this layout, which I did sit down and do until I realized the day of this hop would be after the fact. I will still put a picture of that card at the bottom but I didn't want that to be the main card knowing it wouldn't help anyone until next year.

Instead I decided to play with the Dragonfly Dreams Bundle, I am in love with this bundle it is so much fun and as much as I love using butterflies in projects it's fun having the other option. So without further ado here is my card for the hop, I decided to go with a cooler colour scheme then Georgia's card using one of my favourite colours Island Indigo.

     

   

          

I had so much fun playing with this layout and am so grateful to Georgia for allowing us to Hop with her and CASE her cards. As promised here is the valentines day one I made as well, if I remade this one I would make the forward heart grey for a bit more contrast.
