The first features a gorgeous Digi stamp from my mate Teri at Delicious Doodles, coloured with promarkers and matted onto some papers from my snippets drawer. The sentiment is from Waltzing Mouse. Very simple.
For my second card I stamped a scrap of white card with a gingham stamp from Waltzing Mouse with broken china DI, layered it onto some white card punched with a Martha Stewart border punch, and added a digi image from Squigglefly, coloured with promarkers. I added a bow coloured with broken China Distress stain, a button and a Sizzlet die cut sentiment. As this has a button and a bow I think it is eligible for Allsorts this week where the theme is Buttons and bows.
Both of these cards used up snippets, so I'm entering them in Di's Crafty snippets challenge. I'll be off to the playground with them and some chocolate limes as soon as I have finished here.Finally I will leave you with a photo of the latest babies on the river near my Dad's house - nine cygnets...

I love both the cards Sally. The image on the first one is so lovely and I do have a thing about gingham on baby cards for some reason, lol! It always looks so clean and fresh.
Beautiful photos of the swans. Thanks for sharing.

Love both cards Sally, and although the baby on the second one is as cute as can be, the first card is definitely my favourite - the image is stunning, and the soft colour choice is perfection.
Super photos too Sally - very appropriate for the Baby theme!

Hi Sally. oooer, chocolate limes. Lost count of the years since I last had those :) Yummy!
Love both cards here, the non-snippets one is a probable LIM winner in my eyes. And your snippets card really made me smile - so cute.
Great photos of the swan and babies too!

Nine young is quite an achievement, I ho hope they are able to rear them all.

Oh my Sally, both cards are adorable and the stamps are wonderful!
What gorgeous baby cards Sally! I especially like the first with its lovely serene feel. Fabulous photos too and I can imagine you certainly would need a good zoom lens, swans not being the chummiest of birds! Vicky x

These are both fabulous Sally. Love the loving image on the first and gingham on baby cards is always just perfect.
Beautiful photos of the swans. Using a zoom is wize, I can tell you those parents can and will bite and bite hard.
