Thank you shaped card (Saturated Canary image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I hope all of you in the US had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day, it always sounds so lovely, I wish I was a part of it (I'm in Australia). It's a lovely warm Saturday here and I can't decide whether to put the Christmas tree up today or next week, it seems funny putting it up in November, when are you putting yours up?

I used a few of my dies today, ones that I don't often use but I wanted to create a different shape for this card. Isn't this a gorgeous image from Saturated Canary? Oh, I bet you all notice again that I forgot to colour in her eyes, I have just noticed, oops hehe. It was very difficult to photograph this shape and these colours so I will colour them but maybe not get around to a new photo so imagine her eyes are whatever colour you'd like them to be hehe (feel free to help me choose what colour they would look best as I'm still undecided).

Little Florist Girl (Wee Stamps image)

Hello crafty friends,

I'm back with what I think must be one of my all-time favourite images as this is the 4th time I've created a card with her and it's not often I use the same image twice! I have added the other 3 cards below for comparisons, I think this is my fave (which is good as I should be getting a bit better each time hehe). I added a couple of different laces to the bottom of this and used a leafy die cut as I thought it looked similar to her leaves. You can find this gorgeous image at Wee Stamps. 

 Interesting to see how different they all are (glad they weren't all the same colours etc haha, that would have been embarrassing). The older ones all have a flourish from Flourish with a Bling.

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.

Black & White rocker card

Hi, here's my last card of the day, a rocker card.

I was wanting to make a black and white card for a couple of challenges but my first card turned out really ordinary so I haven't and won't post it lol. Do you ever do that? If I'm not proud of my creation I don't enjoy sharing it. I usually play around with it until I'm happy but sometimes there's just no saving it.

I am much happier with this one so I'm sharing and entering some comps with it. I have used a Floppy Latte silhouette digi image. I also used part of a rhinestone flourish and flower from Flourish with a Bling.
