Pogo Stick Birthday Girl card (Tiddly Inks image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I love this sweet girl from Tiddly Inks. I used some border and cloud dies from Lawn Fawn.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

AllSorts - Happy Birthday

As you like it - flora or fauna - this was a difficult decision but I've chosen flora as I love adding flowers and scenery to my cards so I'd say I use flora more often. I've used a lot of sponsor's products on this card.

Bunnies just for you Mum (DigiStamp Boutique image)

Hi crafty friends,

Oh I just had to buy this gorgeous image for Mother's Day, aren't they just the cutest bunnies ever? I coloured them in originally and the "mum" was a very dull coloured bear so I went over her with my YR Copics and now she looks much cuter. It's amazing how the colours you choose can sometimes really change how a picture looks. You can find this sweet image at DigiStamp Boutique.

Chloe's 18th Birthday card (All Dressed Up images)

Hi crafty friends,

It was our daughter's 18th Birthday last month and in Australia turning 18 is one of the biggest birthdays as this is the official age of being able to get your driver's licence, drink alcohol and vote. 

Every year I try to make her a special card so this is an extra large one to fit all the party girls in! All these fashionistas are from All Dressed Up. I used a city die and window dies to create the outdoor scene. The papers are glitter and metallic.

A Birthday Gondola Ride card (The Paper Shelter image)

Hi crafty friends,

I had a lot of fun creating this card. I fussy cut The Paper Shelter images out and then used my oxide inks to create the background. This was a bit of an experiment with my embossing ink pen to scribble lines then add some white embossing powder to create a wave effect. I accidentally smudged the funny little seagulls I doodled on, I think they were a mistake to start with but, I can usually find a way to cover errors up but there was nothing I could do to fix this. So we'll say the big seagull is travelling so fast he's leaving a trail lol.

Easter Bunny slider card (Bugaboo image)

Hi crafty friends,

This is my first attempt at a slider card. I was inspired after watching many Youtube videos where they create these gorgeous little scenes with little critters being able to move across the card.
