Hi Crafty Friends,

Thank you so much for dropping by to see my card, I have used a gorgeous Noah's Ark style image from Di's Digis. I tried my hand at masking on this card, I printed the image out twice, once on the colour blending paper and once on a normal sheet of paper for cutting out. I then lightly stuck the thin paper image over the top of my freshly coloured in image and using my homemade cloud template lightly brushed ink to make the clouds. I coloured the water and then added some texture paste for the sea foam.

(see bottom of post for how to buy and postage info)



Hi Crafty Friends,


How lovely is this image from Cute as a Button? I have distressed and inked the edges of most of the papers and embossed the bluey/lilac paper with one of my embossing folders that has just been sitting around collecting dust, not good when I just "HAD" to have it so badly 6 months ago! Do you also do that, buy something and then not use it?



 I have used a combo of pearls and the lilac flower are all from Flourish with a Bling

Hi Crafty Friends,

Oh how I wish it was summer here, it's so cold here in Oz at the moment as we are smack bang in winter! I love creating summery cards at this time of the year though as it reminds me that Spring is on its way soon and that's my favourite time of year.

I haven't used an image from The East Wind for ages and I am so happy to have finally coloured this sweetie up as she's gorgeous! I added her to some Echo Park papers.

Blue Rose Birthday Card (Bugaboo Stamps image)


Hi Crafty Friends,

I made this card for my lovely Nan who lives in England and is 92 years old this Birthday. Her favourite colours are pink and blue so I printed this flowery image in blue and found papers to match.
