LCI Dog-walker card

Hi, me again, I just posted a card and I have another after this one, busy posting night tonight, poor hubby lol!! 

I have used a gorgeous image from Ladybug Crafts Ink, this girl's name is Nikki and she comes in a range of different images, digi and rubber stamps. Click on the store name to be taken there, they have such a great website with loads of different digis and other products.  

I created the sky with a homemade template of bumps lol and some blue chalk, very easy to do but I think it gives a nice outdoorsy look. I used a few different coloured copics to make the grass, trying to give it a realistic look, still learning so please don't judge hehe.

Jellypark Skater boy card

Hi everyone,

I created a boy's card today with an Autumn and Back to school vibe. The skater boy is one from Jellypark and you can't win him, he needs to be bought as 100% of the proceeds go to a charity called The Sick Children's Trust, he's only 1.25 pounds so I couldn't resist this little guy, he's so cute!

The fence, pearls, cloud and raindrops are all from Flourish with a Bling. The papers are from Echo Park, I think it's called "About a Boy" range.

Bugaboo Teacher card

I love this image from Bugaboo Stamps and knew exactly what I wanted to put on the "notepage" as my son loves his teacher. We finish school in December as that's our summer holidays in Australia but I thought I may as well create the card early seeing as a few challenges are wanting back to school cards.

The blue pearls, flowers and leaves are all from Flourish with a Bling. I doodled around the image and card and shaded the image background with chalk.

Bugaboo funny gardener card

Hi, I hope you're having a great weekend, mine is over as it's almost Sunday midnight here in Australia so I better rush to get to bed.

I have made a funny card today using a gorgeous Bugaboo image, I love these funnies and will be sharing more of them in the near future. I thought my mother-in-law who loves gardening would get a kick out of this one and it's her Birthday in October so I'm glad to have made it in plenty of time.

How beautiful is the vine? I designed this product for my company Flourish with a Bling and we named it Jack after Jack and the beanstalk. Please click on our name to be taken to our website, we accept international orders and this one's packet fits perfectly in a letter envelope (so postage is cheaper).

TPS Waitress card

Hi everyone,

I know I've gone mad creating since I got back from overseas but I can't help myself, hopefully it shows how much I love making cards. I have such a stash of them I'm thinking about taking them to a market and selling them off cheap, heartbreaking but people don't seem to want to spend a lot on craft items. Lucky I do it for the love of it and not for the cash lol.
