Autumn Easel card

Hi to all my lovely followers, can I just say how happy I am that you are interested in my cards, it makes creating them that much more special when you know craftlovers are going to see them rather than make a card and hide it away or give it to one person. I am almost at 200 followers so I'm thinking I might ask my business buddies if I can give a little FWAB candy away when I reach that milestone :). See below the card for a huge special we have on in October.

I have used quite a few FWAB products on my card today - Lee's tree and grass set, Trent's Fence and Taylah's Toadstools. I decided to make this girl quite large, she's from Digi Darla and she's perfect for Autumn cards. Click on any red words to be taken to the store or actual item.

Flourish with a Bling have a 50% off sale all throughout October, the only items not discounted are the already amazingingly priced value packs, everything else is half off!! I hope you'll check out our website as we have our own unique products and we post worldwide. Please email if you would like rough estimates of shipping, if we can send it as a large letter we will or perhaps get your friends to all buy too and share the postage! If you're order is over $200AUD we will pay half the shipping (international orders). If you mention my blog (Lucy) when ordering we will send you a bonus Jasmine laser flourish!

Paper Crafting Journey's new challenge - Use Halloween colours

It's time for a new challenge over at Paper Crafting Journey and this time we'd love to see you use Halloween colours. I love the idea of using Halloween colours rather than a Halloween challenge as it means it doesn't have to be card for Halloween. Having said that, my card is definitely Halloweeny lol!! I have used one of the sponsor's images (Just Some Lines), this little witch isn't very scary but she's definitely cute! I doodled the border and corner cobweb, had to practice on scrap paper first as my doodles don't always work out how I think they will hehe.

I have used a gorgeous flourish (called Jessie flourish) and black leaves (from our Jack vine) at Flourish with a Bling.

Flourish with a Bling have a 50% off sale all throughout October, the only items not discounted are the already amazingingly priced value packs, everything else is half off!! I hope you'll check out our website as we have our own unique products and we post worldwide. Please email if you would like rough estimates of shipping, if we can send it as a large letter we will or perhaps get your friends to all buy too and share the postage!

Autumn Birthday girl card

Hi and hope you're having a wonderful weekend and getting crafty on such a special day, World Cardmaking Day! 

I went crazy and created a couple of cards, one of which is this one using a gorgeous image from Milk Coffee Digis. I paper pieced her dress and gave her a little "path" to walk along, hope you like it. This card took me a long time, I had lost my mojo today but I didn't let it stop me, just had to keep rearranging my papers until I was happy. 

I used pearls from my company, Flourish with a Bling who is having a massive 50% off storewide (only excludes the value packs as they are already amazing value).

I'm a Guest Designer at 613 Avenue Create!

I am delighted to be a guest designer at 613 Avenue Create this week, they have an awesome challenge blog that if you're not already following, head over and join up.

Their sponsors this week are The Paper Shelter and Dr Digi and the challenge is "Create your own challenge", how fun is that!! I have chosen "Use blue and pink" for my challenge and have used a gorgeous image from The Paper Shelter. I thought seeing as she was on a swing I should cut her out and use some foam tape to make her look more 3D. I decided to have her swinging from a beautiful vine from Flourish with a Bling.

Flourish with a Bling have a 50% off sale all throughout October, the only items not discounted are the already amazingingly priced value packs, everything else is half off!!
