A Birthday Giraffe (Doodle Dragon Studios image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I've had this cute giraffe from Doodle Dragon Studios for a while now, I wanted to link their store but it's not available at the moment. I die cut the banner with chocolate and cream papers then substituted the brown stars with the cream stars so they sit perfectly within the die.

Monkey Barrel card

I had a dilemna with this card, I thought I had made it a bit too fussy with my background so I chose to blacken it with my copic marker! I am showing both as I'm not sure which way I like it best, what do you think? I think I like it with the black background but my daughter prefers the messy background as she says that's what cheeky monkeys would like lol!!

The digi image is from Doodle Dragons, they were a lot of fun to color (but needed a few different shades of brown for this one!)

Dragon Valentine's Day card

Hello, here's another card I made this week, this one I made for my guest designer spot over at C.R.A.F.T. Challenge. The challenge this week is Love so I have coloured this cutie of a dragon in with copics. He is called Heart Dragon by Doodle Dragons, one of the sponsors for this week's challenge.

I created the hexagons and typed the sentiments on my computer - the font is "Fioles girls" just in case you like it as its one of my favourite fonts. This card has a lot of Flourish with a Bling on it so check out the products below the card if you're interested:
