Dog with flowers card (Bugaboo image)

Hi crafty friends,

I hope you all had a lovely weekend. I have a cute little dog image from Bugaboo to show you today. He's rather sweet isn't he? I used some already distressed looking paper so distressed the other papers and inked them to match. My mum loves dogs so I might surprise her with this card when I next want to show her how much I love her :)

Congrats on your new job (The Paper Shelter image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I haven't torn paper in ages and I think brown papers go really well with this technique and I'd had the girl coloured up for ages, she complements the writing paper as she's an office girl. You can find her at The Paper Shelter. This is my last card for today, thanks for coming to check it out.

Love N Hugs to Tracy (Saturated Canary image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I hope you're enjoying your weekend (and long weekend in England I understand?) Speaking of England, that's where this card is going this week as it's my girlfriend's Birthday coming up. I wanted to create a shabby look but didn't want to add too many embellishments as it's cheaper to send if it's flatter. I used a gorgeous image from Saturated Canary which I have used before (see below).
