Hello Summer! card (Saturated Canary image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

This card is for sale:    $10 AUS       $8 US     7 EUR      5 GBP

I have just had a great idea! I have so many cards in my cupboard that I have decided the best way to sell my cards might be right here!! Hopefully at some stage there might be one or two you just can't resist buying hehe.  So from now on if you see a price at the top of the blog post it means the card is for sale. If there is no price it means it has been sold or was never available. You can then comment on the card that you are interested and I will get back to you via email (I won't publish your comment so your email address is just for me). I can let you know postage at that time too with no obligations to buy.

Anyway onto this card I created yesterday. I love this image from Saturated Canary and I have created with her twice before. As you will see below I haven't made a bright card with this image before but I think it's just as nice as the other two. I fussy cut her out and used some foam tape for her to come forward, the papers are from Bo Bunny I think. I used some of my die cuts for the sand, waves and sun.

Happy Birthday Mermaid card (The Paper Shelter image)

Hi crafty friends,

Me again hehe, and this time I have gone against all the Autumn and Halloween themed papers and opted to do one last Summer card (although here in Oz we're coming up to Summer soon so maybe I'll do more in a couple of months' time).

I have used a sweet mermaid from The Paper Shelter, I have had her coloured for ages as I had some papers I was inspired to use with her but it had black in them and in the end I have only used the polka dot/floral paper on the card! Sometimes it works that way doesn't it where you're moving everything about but it still doesn't look right and you have to start from scratch. I'm now happy with how it turned out.

I have used pearls, the lovely sun and you can just see some of the orange puffy flourish I have used under the netting, these items are all from Flourish with a Bling. 

We have brand new flowers in a rainbow of colours at Flourish with a Bling and to celebrate we are selling them at only $2 a pack (rrp $3) for this month only. Click on our name to go to our online store and check out all of our gorgeous products.

Sassy Beach Girl Scenery Card (Jade Dragonne image)

Hi everyone,

Hope you've all had a great week. I have had a busy couple of days creating, lucky me so I have many cards to blog over the next week so if I'm short and sweet it's because I'm so time poor hehe.

I coloured and fussy cut this gorgeous Jade Dragonne image out and ripped some gold glitter paper to make some "sand dunes". The sand is a little higher than I would have liked in the end but it was too late once I realised as the glue had well and truly stuck! I have added a sun from Flourish with a Bling's Up in the Sky set which also comes with clouds and rain/water drops.
