Sending Love on 14th February card (Little Blue Button Stamps image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I have a few cards to show tonight, all loved up ones :)

I love Valentine's Day images and cards, they're always so sweet, I do get carried away making more than just one card for my DH hehe.

Merry Christmas Tracy bears (LOTV images)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I was on Pinterest the other day when I saw some adorable cards with these alphas and bears and I just had to have them for myself! So I was really excited to see they were a digi set from Lili of the Valley so I could buy and create with them straightaway. I have a gorgeous friend in England (I'm in Australia) so I love to make and send her personalised cards so she knows I'm thinking of her. 

I've made a few cards with this alpha set (I also bought the numeral set) so I'll be posting them over the next couple of weeks.

To create this background I used ribbon strips - I added double sided tape to white cardstock and then just stuck the ribbon down and cut the excess off at the edges.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

A Gem of a Challenge - anything Christmas goes 

AllSorts - snowflakes

Card Mania - Christmas

Country View Challenges -  anything goes with optional twist use reds, greens & rust

Creative Inspirations - Winter/Christmas 

Creative Moments -  anything goes with optional Christmas

Digi Choosday - anything goes w49 

Double D challenges - red and white with an optional pop of green

That's it from me tonight, thank you so much if you checked out all my cards and tags, I know there were a lot.

Get Well Soon card (CC Designs image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

CC Designs have some of my favourite images, they were one of the first digi/stamp companies I started using, I loved that their hair was in sections, it made it easier to figure out how to shade hair. I love this little fairy nurse, I did actually colour this image a while ago and only now got around to creating a card for it. I love using black, red and white, it's a really striking colour combination isn't it? I used a tiny flower punch to make the flowers and just added a red pearl to their centres. The hearts are from the Lala Land heart banner die.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:
