Christmas girl with lights and trees (La-la Land Crafts image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

My last card to show you for tonight and I have used a La-la Land Crafts stamp for this card. I had a 12x12 patterned paper that has lots of trees on it so I fussy cut some out to make a little "forest" of Christmas trees behind the little girl. I also added some Nuvo drops for a snowy background.

Thank you card in my garden (Lala Land image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

My last card to show you tonight is a fall inspired card using a Lala Land stamp. I actually coloured the image when I first started cardmaking but I never created with it. When I came across it in my stash I decided to colour over the top to see how my colouring had come along and how much it would change how it looked. I'm so annoyed with myself that I didn't take a photo of the "before" colouring so you could see the difference. I added a little bird to her hat to match the "garden".
