Sailor Girl card (Cute as a Button image)

I was published!!! I was asked to do a set of cards using Cute as a Button images for an Australian magazine called Australian Papercraft Essentials.

Enjoying the Rain Birthday card (Cute as a Button image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Does this weather look familiar hehe? Not here in Oz today, we have a beautiful 27 degree day, the sun is shining, Spring is well and truly here thank goodness!

What do you think of my new look blog? It has taken me most of the evening to try and figure it all out. I can't seem to make my blog posts white even though I have saved it as white! I have made the card photos a little smaller but click on the photo to enlarge it.

I loved colouring this sweet image from Cute as a Button called Enjoying the Rain. My sister didn't want this cloud paper so I happily took it as I thought it would go beautifully with the raining images I have. One person's trash is another person's treasure as they say hehe! Lucky me.

Brown & Pink Shabby Card (Cute as a Button image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Me again with another card and this is my last for the day. I have been creating a few cards for an Australian magazine so I can't show them until the magazine comes out but just so you know, I have still been creating just not as many that I can post on my blog as usual. 

I coloured this gorgeous image from Cute as a Button. I cropped this girl to make it a portrait rather than a full image but I'm sure I will use the whole image at some stage as its a candyland style and really cute. I did a bit of inking and stamping to give the card a shabby chic look.
