Cardmaking Block - Christening Cards

A really good friend had asked me to make her 2 Christening cards and for the first time I was really stuck for ideas. I don't make a lot of baby themed cards so didn't have other designs I could adapt.

I make cards each week and have so much fun but I found the fact that I was making cards for an order really difficult - has anyone else found this??????

Here are the two cards I made (1 an easel card) - I hope you like....

Quick Make Cards....

Quick Makes Required!!!

My two children reminded me that they needed an Xmas card for their teachers and could I make them for Monday Morning!!!

So, I set myself a little challenge..... 1) The cards had to be easy & quick to make & 2) I had to use my craft supply which I had bought but not yet used - Papermania stamps, Spellbinders scalloped circles and Papermania Christmas paper - and here are the results.

Have any readers set themselves a similar challenge?
