A Birthday Girl in Europe card (All Dressed Up image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I have a few cards to show tonight. 

It still feels like winter here as Spring is only just starting, I can't wait for the warmer weather but I feel I can't complain about our cold weather when Hurricane Irma is destroying parts of the beautiful Caribbean and on it's way to Florida, I hope none of you are being affected by it.

On a happier note, I created this card for my gorgeous UK friend who holidays in Spain all the time and is going again for her birthday this month. This scene and girl reminded me of her, you can find it at All Dressed Up. Instead of colouring with my copics I used my distress inks watered down.

Back to school card (The Paper Shelter image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I made a back to school card today using a really sweet image from The Paper Shelter. I have used her before so I've added the card below. I didn't compare or remember what I created last time and now I've found the photo I see I've almost used the same colours on her just the opposite way round, how funny! I added some turquoise rhinestones to the punched borders. I coloured her hair with my favourite Copic hair combination E21, 23, 25, 27 and 29.

Hogs and Kisses (SugarPea Designs stamps)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I bought this gorgeous SugarPea Designs farm stamp set (called Barn to be wild) a few months ago and finally got around to using it this weekend.
