Allsorts...song titles and meet Maisie :o)

It's been an exciting week in the Panda household this week. My step son Nicky and his wife LeeAne were expecting their little bundle of joyon 27th September, well the little mite was obviously very comfy and warm and didn't arrive until Wednesday 6th October, so meet little Maisie.

Some of you will remember the complicated family we have here, I have 3 step kids, Sarah 38, Tara 36 and Nicky 26. Being 35 myself I obviously had nothing to do with the girls childhoods lol but I have brought Nicky up since he was 10 years old. So although Ian my hubby has 7 grandchildren, Maisie is really the first one to feel like my own grandchild :o) And what a beautiful girl to have as my first granchchild she is a wee stunner. Here are a couple of wee pics for you .

Both taken yesterday so 2 days old.

So onto my card for this week:

It is my week at Allsorts this week and I have asked you to take inspiration for your card/item from a song title and I can't wait to see all the diufferent songs you like :o)

My card has an image from a baby themed font on the pc, paper is Papermania, brad and pearls from stash, yellow cardstock is SU. I made this card for my daughter in laws sister as it is her first time being an aunty. I also made cards for Nicky's in laws as this is their first grandchild and also one for Nicky's mum, I got a bit carried away lol Sadly the pics I took of the grandparent cards were blurry as I had the wrong setting on so I can't show them. I will be bak in the week with the card I made for Nicky and LeeAnne.

Allsorts week 70

Happy Saturday everyone, hope you are having a fabulous weekend whatever you are doing!

This week at Allsorts Fleur wants you to use at least 3 punches I was delighted to be able to use my new flower punches. I bought them to make the wedding invitations (any excuse lol) and I love them, so expect to see them a lot over the next few weeks :o)

The image is a Penny Black which was given to me in an image swap, I can't colour them though as the card they are stamped on doesn't work well with the promarkers, they don't seem to dry. The paper and cardstock are both Stampin up, punches are large and medium retro flower and a little daisy one I've had forever.

If you haven't entered the Penny Black at Allsorts chellenge this month why not combine them.....the theme for September is "Punch Away" so a perfect opportunity to kill two birds with one stone :o)
