A long time ago I saw this creation by the very talented Ellen Kemper and filed it away to use with the Wicked tickets I had saved. Well, that day has finally arrived. The tickets have been sitting near my computer monitor mocking me so it was high time I scrapped them. Added motivation was also with the small oval punch retiring this month, which has now been sold out!

This past week I caught up with some girls I know from high school. Not only after having a fun time catching up we all got to have cuddles with my friend's beautiful 12 week old baby. As I hadn't seen Kelly since she had given birth, I made a little punch art creation for her daughter's nursery (that is decorated with Winnie the Pooh accessories.)
The punch art piece was actually in a frame but I removed it for the photo as I couldn't get a decent picture without my reflection in the glass! (Eeyore punch art instructions were provided by Ellen Kemper.)
I also made this pretty bow using the sweet and sour speciality papers to decorate the wrapped gift.
Materials list:
Inkpads: Ballet blue (retired), blush blossom (retired)
Cardstock: Ballet blue (retired), blush blossom (retired), rich razzleberry, whisper white, basic black
Punches: Itty bitty shapes, wide oval, large oval, small oval, heart to heart, modern label, 1 3/4" circle, owl punch
Accessories: Big shot alphabet

I hope my American readers have had a fantastic Thanksgiving. We don't celebrate Thanksgiving here in Australia but one day, I am not only going to have a white Christmas but also celebrate Thanksgiving. Kerri, we must be visiting you for a very long time... LOL especially since Canadian Thanksgiving is in October!
Today's sketch has been designed by Tammy Baldwin. For some reason, I had a clown in my head as the diagonal shape, the only problem was after I had made my clown it was a little bigger than I had anticipated. *giggles* so I had to alter the sketch a little....

Today's sketch is brought you to by ME :P As stupid as this sounds... I had serious trouble with my own sketch! When I designed this sketch, I had some sweet pea flowers in mind. I made some and sat down to make the card as planned and well, nothing happened. Everything looked off and nothing sat right.
After that no go-er, here is what I created... I apologise for the photo quality, it is a gloomy day here in Melbourne today. A top of 12 degrees or something equally crazy with grey skies and lots of wind.
Inspiration for the baby punch are was from Ellen Kemper. You can find her original card here.
Stop by and check out Sharon Field's blog for her card. In case there is a link not working, I am also including links for the other team members.

Sorry for the late post. I have been teaching for most of the day (from 10am - 5pm) and then finished my swaps for convention minus the recipe just now. Todays card is actually one I had scheduled for next week (as I don't arrive home from convention until next Monday) but since I ran out of time, I brought if forward as I don't like leaving you hanging.

Apologies as always regarding my late MMM card. This time I had it ready early afternoon only was waiting on crystal effects to dry. Seeing as it is a new month, I have a new theme I am creating to. This month, it is punch art.... :D I love punch art!!!!
Here we go with today's card. (I am cursing the cold Melbourne weather because after 5 hours, my crystal effects is still not dry!!! Hence the side on photo.)
