Celebrating Little People at Crafty Purple Frog

Good Morning all

It's almost the end of our challenge over at 

Crafty Purple Frog

Where or theme for the month has been

Little People

I have a card to share that I made for my favourite littlest person - my Granddaughter Eva who was a whole one year old at the beginning of April - where did that year go!

I used the little Angels range from Crafter's Companion and lots of little embellies from

 Crafty Purple Frog


to make this card, together with a few extra dies - I was really pleased with the whole effect when I was finished - it was just so pretty and girly

there's a £10 prize to spend in store up for grabs!!

and here is Eva in full birthday pose!!
a little biased but i think she's gorgeous!!

Here's what I did .....

Giraffe die, Baby Accessoies dies, papers, ribbon and from Sara Davies Little Angels signature collection

Dovecraft Doily, buttons and clothes pegs from Crafty Purple Frog

Stitched banner dies from Mama Elephant

Circle and scalloped dies - Die'sire essentials form Crafter's Companion
