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.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Addicted to Stamps - balloons, bunting and presents (used all)

All Dressed Up - anything goes with an ADU image

Colour Crazy Challenge -  anything goes wk14

Happy Little Stampers -  anything goes with dies

Have a great weekend,

I wish this was my summer selfie! (Saturated Canary image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Oh how I'd love to look like this in a bikini hehe, those days are gone sob sob. I used my new Lawn Fawn frame die and I used some foam tape to give it height. I have had this floral paper for the longest time, I have way too many patterned papers that are beautiful and all sitting in pizza boxes hidden under more papers. I keep telling myself not to buy more but occasionally I just can't help myself if I see really loves new ones hehe. So I'm really pleased I have gotten around to using these ones anyway as they are a lovely colour combo. The image is another gorgeous one from Saturated Canary.
