No not me silly! Having said that I do have two adorable 4 month old kittens. Bamboo and China were rescue kittens and we adopted them from the Cats Protection Axhayes Centre, near Exeter. They are beginning to settle into their "forever home" with us.
Both are very timid but will eat out our hands if we offer a treat in the form of a biscuit. We renamed our kittens Misty and Milo. At first Misty would snatch the biscuit with her paw because she didn't want to get close but now she takes the biscuit from my fingers. Her brother Milo is a little less timid although neither are ready to be picked up.
When they are both distracted with bowls of food we sit on the floor next to them and stroke their backs. They don't seem to mind this and hopefully it is having some affect in socialising them.
In fact today has been a breakthrough for Milo. I came down to give them their lunch and they were both sleeping in their beds. Milo woke when I got close to him and rolled over and allowed me to gently stroke his tummy. Then after feeding them both Milo stayed by my side and allowed me to stroke him for a few minutes.
The strangest thing happens when we feed them something other than cat food. We have cooked them chicken and they both produce a very strange growl in excitement. We know this isn't aimed at each other. It is rather quite odd!
So the real reason for naming this post "New Baby" is that I am going to share with you cards I am making which have a "new baby" theme.
I have some new dies from the Signature Collection by Sara Davies at Crafters Companion that are perfect for this called "Little Angel". They even match a paper pad that I have had for several years that has elephants and giraffes on too. I have been wanting a giraffe and elephant die but until now had been holding out for ones I really liked.
I am going to challenge myself to see how many cards I can make from these dies before I get bored and post them on this page as I make them, starting with the first which is this one.
Crafters Companion's gallery of Little Angel sample cards can be viewed here . The other day I made washing line cards and today it was chests of drawers.
I used my Cameo Silhouette to produce the card templates from a template I downloaded from the Silhouette Design Store. I also downloaded a coat hanger and resized it to fit my clothing I cut out from the dies.
I really want to have a go at a wardrobe next based on a stepper card design.
For this washing line card I used a peeloff sticker and had some leftover peeloff bits that worked well as pegs. It made the card less bulky than using tiny small pegs.
Be sure to let me know what you think.
Sunday 16th October - here are a few cards I have made during the week/weekend along the same theme.
This embossing folder by Crafter's Companion reminds me of a baby blanket.
This background has been created using an embossing folder with clouds on by Crafter's Companion. I chose yellow to match the paper's background.
The long awaited baby's wardrobe card!
Combining my new dies with existing card stock to make fun cards.
This is a tri shutter card I have made using a template and cutting it out on my Cameo Silhouette.
