Cute, Sweet, Gorgeous Girl card (Crafts & Me/Hannah Lynn image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Isn't this image beautiful from Hannah Lynn at Crafts and Me? I know I'm always saying how gorgeous my digis are but I guess that's why I bought them/chose them hehe.

I printed her out in a sepia colour so I could make her hair blonde. I can't seem to colour blonde hair when the image is black as I always want to make it darker. 

I have used a Flourish with a Bling Red Chloe pearl flourish. The set comes with 2 flourishes and some extra red pearls to add to your project and is only $2AUD for the whole set during February! I have also used an Elise flower and Jack olive green vine leaves. Everything in the store is $2 this month, I hope you'll click on our store name to check it out.

Thoughts of you on your Birthday (The East Wind image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

My last card for the night and doing something a little different with this one. I fussy cut the image out and made a "table" for her to sit at with her hot cocoa. She looks like she's thinking of someone so I decided to make a little letter to go with her like she's just read it and missing the person. Is this the story you see in the card hehe? This beautiful image is from The East Wind. Well, that's it from me now, I hope you enjoyed seeing all of my cards and wishing you a very crafty weekend!
