Red White & Blue Girl card (Hannah Lynn image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Happy 4th of July to my American friends, I hope you've had a fabulous day!

I thought I'd create a red, white and blue card with stars in respect of the USA holiday. I sliced up 3 papers into strips and adhered them onto scrap paper. I then used red, white and blue gel pens to make some faux stitching.

The beautiful image was created by Hannah Lynn and I'm not sure if you can buy them anymore sadly. I have many of her images and I thought about you Bunny when I printed this up to colour, as I know you love seeing the Hannah Lynn images coloured up on my cards :)

Handmade Hexagon background Baby card

Hi Crafty Friends,

Another way of using up my scraps of paper pads is to die cut hexagons and glue them all onto the background, I love this look too, I'm so addicted to hexagons at the moment! I think this is a Kaisercraft baby paper pad, are the papers beautiful?
