Red, Black & White Sassy Birthday Girl card (The East Wind image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I hope you're all enjoying your weekend. I'm sadly still stuck indoors trying to get rid of my cough, I can't believe it's been a month! I have had 2 nights in a row no coughing now so hopefully I'm over it. I am going to see my "boyfriend" Adam Lambert in concert tomorrow night so I'm desperate to get better for that. 

So this is the reason why you have seen a million cards from me this month (or what might seem like a million cards hehe), I have not done much else! Here I am with another 2 cards tonight, this one is using a sassy image from The East Wind. I have also used a red Maddison flower from Flourish with a Bling, my company where we have a huge sale on, please see below for details or click on our name.

Flourish with a Bling is selling all their products for $2 each this month, that's more than half off most products!! I hope you'll check out our website as we have our own unique products and we post worldwide.

Lilac & Blue Birthday card

Hi crafty friends,

I know what you're thinking, is this a Lucy card, it certainly doesn't look like one hehe! You are not seeing things, I do realise there is no coloured cutie on my card, I created this for my Stepmum and I thought she'd appreciate this better. The Birthday sentiment is a stamp and I used a stencil as a mask and sprayed to make the background. I have used a gorgeous Maddison lilac flower from Flourish with a Bling who are having a huge sale, please see below for links and details. 

I have some of my usual style cards coming straight after this post :)

No Lines Little Girl Card (Ppinky Dolls image)

This card is for sale:   $8 AUS       $6 US     5 EUR      4 GBP

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

Hi Crafty Friends,

I have been creating up a storm recently, it feels so great to have a bit of extra time to craft again. 

This is the first time I have coloured up a Ppinky Dolls image and I must admit I was a little worried as I'm a little heavy-handed with my Copics sometimes and these images require more of a delicate touch so I am very proud of my restraint hehe. I used an embossing folder that I just received as a bonus with a magazine and I think it has to be one of my favourites, I love it! I have used 2 lovely flowers from Flourish with a Bling.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Bunny Zoe - Summer breeze

Dream Valley - Embossing

The Belle of the Ball Birthday Girl card (Saturated Canary image)

Hi crafty friends,

I'm back with my last card of the day, I hope you've enjoyed seeing them all if you've gotten the chance (or wanted to hehe).

Audrey Hepburn Style Girly Birthday Card (All Dressed Up image)
