Birthday Flower Fairy card (Tiddly Inks image)

Hi crafty friends,

I have a few cards to show today and over the weekend. I have been working extra hours in my office job and yet I have somehow found extra time this week to create, amazing how that happens sometimes isn't it?

I have used a lovely fairy from Tiddly Inks this time. I handmade the Birthday flags and bought myself a new corner die at the craft show last month. I have sparkled up her wings and wand.

For The Birthday Girl (Paper Nest Dolls image and A Random Fan image)

Hi crafty friends,

Today I decided to mix it up a bit with 2 different company's images. I thought these two looked so cute together so I couldn't resist, doesn't it look like she's waiting for him to give her the cake hehe???

The boy is from Paper Nest Dolls and the girl is from A Random Fan. This background paper is actually mounted onto black cardstock but because of the background being so dark it is hard to tell.

The gorgeous flower is from Flourish with a Bling (my company) who are having a 50% off sale at the moment. We are sold out of this colour but I do have a couple left so if you order, let me know you came from my blog and I'll pop one in your order (our little secret hehe).

Every product is just $2 this month at Flourish with a Bling  !! All throughout September, everything is $2, no exceptions!! I hope you'll check out our website as we have our own unique products and we post worldwide.

Birthday Fairy card (Scrapper's Delights image)

Me again,

Last time tonight and this card was made using a gorgeous fairy from Scrapper's Delights. The lovely fence and pearls are from Flourish with a Bling and  I think the clock chipboard is from Scrapmatts. I glittered the clock which has come out really beautifully in real life. I wound the flowers around it.

Birthday Princess card (The East Wind image)

Hi everyone,

Isn't this a gorgeous image from The East Wind? She is perfect for a girly teenager's card especially as she has earphones in just like my 14 year old daughter always has! I glitter embossed around the image and on the chipboard corner and tags as well as her top, skirt and flowers in her hair. Yes, I went crazy with glitter on this card hehe. 

The pink flower is a big secret and not available until next month but we'll call this a sneak preview hehe. It's going to come in a lot of beautiful colours and they are exclusive to my company, Flourish with a Bling. We have a huge sale on at the moment, see below for details.

I am a guest designer at Ladybug Crafts Ink's final challenge (Ladybug Crafts Ink image)

Hi everyone,

This card is dedicated to Kerry at Ladybug Crafts Ink for a few reasons. Kerry is the owner of LCI and this is her final challenge as she is closing the doors on her online store and challenge blog :(. I will miss her terribly as she is such a wonderful lady who I have been in contact with since I first started my blog a few years ago. This is one of her gorgeous digi images and she has a huge sale on for this last month - cling stamps are just $1 each and 30% off everything else (except crystals). 

The challenge (which you can find HERE) is to use one of your favourite images and it can be from any stamp company, I hope you'll join in to make this last challenge a huge one for Kerry.

I have also used a gorgeous burgundy Jasmine laser flourish from my company Flourish with a Bling who are also having a huge sale - $2 storewide (most items are usually RRP $5!!) so more than 50% off most of our products!
