A girl in the window card (Paper Nest Dolls image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I hope you're enjoying 2016 so far :)

I have 3 cards to show today and this first one includes an image from Paper Nest Dolls. I coloured the little girl and the window frame then fussy cut around them so that I could add the pink "wall" background and some patterned "curtains". 

I was not really impressed with my new pressie (Aussie slang for present hehe) which was a brick wall die. The bricks in the middle didn't cut properly so I'm not sure if I need a new cutting mat or the die isn't good enough, hopefully I just need a new mat! Anyway, I decided it worked for this purpose as she is supposed to be in a house window so the bricks should be there haha!

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.

For The Birthday Girl (Paper Nest Dolls image and A Random Fan image)

Hi crafty friends,

Today I decided to mix it up a bit with 2 different company's images. I thought these two looked so cute together so I couldn't resist, doesn't it look like she's waiting for him to give her the cake hehe???

The boy is from Paper Nest Dolls and the girl is from A Random Fan. This background paper is actually mounted onto black cardstock but because of the background being so dark it is hard to tell.

The gorgeous flower is from Flourish with a Bling (my company) who are having a 50% off sale at the moment. We are sold out of this colour but I do have a couple left so if you order, let me know you came from my blog and I'll pop one in your order (our little secret hehe).

Every product is just $2 this month at Flourish with a Bling  !! All throughout September, everything is $2, no exceptions!! I hope you'll check out our website as we have our own unique products and we post worldwide. Please email if you would like rough estimates of shipping, if we can send it as a large letter we will or perhaps get your friends to all buy too and share the postage! If your order is over $200AUD we will pay half the shipping (international orders) or all the postage for Aussie orders.
