So I was happy when the Daring Cardmakers blog challenge of the week was 'Child's Play' as it reminded me that this was something I'd need in my stash! I haven't linked to there in ages too, as not been able to get organised in time. Their challenges are lovely, so it's worth going to have a look! Their makers make absolutely stunning cards!
Card no.1 FINALLY uses a rubberstamp I have had for aaaaaaaaaaages! I saw this cute 'feet' stamp and knew it could be used in so many ways for baby cards. I am not fond of rubber-stamps but this one was different! I also used a set of alphabet stamps I bought when I'd not been long making cards! I punched the circles around them once punched which is a revelation as I am soooooo bad at cutting circles!
Card no.2 ALSO uses a tool I bought with the same idea in mind- a tiny foot punch! It looked a bit boring with just feet so I added little pearl accents with Pebeo touch, 3d paint pen! No matter how long I haven't used the Pebeo paints, they never dry up or clog the nozzle, unlike those horrible Anita's 3d paints which cake up after using the paints once, no matter how religiously I clean them! So, if you'd like 3d paints, go for Pebeo NOT Anita's!
You're wondering what's been recycled in the making of these cards? No? Well, a 'London borough of Walthamstow' prospectus guide has been utilised for the feet and the white card with feet on comes from a church holiday club left-over sheet (it has a picture of a mountain on the back!)
Also, I couldn't resist this necklace over the weekend!
I saw it and HAD to buy it! It was only £2 otherwise I probably wouldn't have!!x
Linking also to Claire Justine's Creative Monday

Lakota's Tah-Dah Tuesday (if she's moved in yet!!!)
With thanks to Miss Katie Hook Line and Sink Her for making me realise that I too, can have pretty backgrounds in my picture rather than dusty looking wooden tables!
