Love you card (Bugaboo sentiment)

I made this card using a lot of products from my company, Flourish with a Bling. You can find the Elise flowers (large white, pink and hot pink flowers), and the Jasmine pale pink laser flourish on our website (they all come in a range of colours).

Sending Fairy wishes (Saturated Canary image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I'm so happy to be back in Blogland after over a month off. I was overseas on a European family trip of a lifetime, it was absolutely wonderful and we had such a great time. 

So now I'm back and I have a few cards to show you. This one is created with a Saturated Canary image, isn't she sweet? I've noticed Saturated Canary have now closed since I've been away which is such a shame, I'm glad I bought a few more images before I left.

I wish this was my summer selfie! (Saturated Canary image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Oh how I'd love to look like this in a bikini hehe, those days are gone sob sob. I used my new Lawn Fawn frame die and I used some foam tape to give it height. I have had this floral paper for the longest time, I have way too many patterned papers that are beautiful and all sitting in pizza boxes hidden under more papers. I keep telling myself not to buy more but occasionally I just can't help myself if I see really loves new ones hehe. So I'm really pleased I have gotten around to using these ones anyway as they are a lovely colour combo. The image is another gorgeous one from Saturated Canary.

Chloe's 16th Birthday card (Kenny K images)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Well, it was my darling daughter Chloe's 16th Birthday last week and it's a challenge each year trying to outdo myself with her card! But as soon as I saw these Kenny K background and girl images I knew these were perfect for her. I used the png versions so I could add the girl into the scene. I coloured the girl as if it was Chloe with blonde highlights and hazel eyes. She loves the colour teal hence the main colour. I then found all my fashion embellies that would be perfect to border the scene. The "Love" and "16" look glittery and lovely in real life but not so much in the photo lol.

Lilac, Purple and Teal shaped Girly Card (Make it Crafty image)

I thought I'd try out a snazzy new shape using my die cuts. This took me a while to arrange as I wasn't happy with it at first so I had to keep cutting/moving bits and now I love how it turned out!
