Funny card about raising teenagers (Bugaboo image)

Hi crafty friends,

Didn't this one photograph well, I love how it shows you the actual colours for a change lol. Sometimes it takes me forever to get a good photo of certain cards, does it you? They look so much prettier in real life.

Anyway, about my card, how funny is this image and sentiment from Bugaboo? I have a teenage daughter so I totally relate to this hehe. You can ask me on a Monday how things are going with her and I'll say "Oh, it's wonderful we're getting on lovely and she's so great" and come Tuesday, ask me the same question and I might be like "OMGosh, she's driving me nuts, where is this attitude coming from, why doesn't she do what she's supposed to do etc etc" hehe.

I have used some pearls and leaves from my company Flourish with a Bling.

Flourish with a Bling are a retail and wholesale online store. We have some fantastic themed packs (eg. Bling, vintage, fairy garden, boys, princess etc) at amazing prices, you can check them all out by clicking here. If you mention my blog (Lucy) when ordering we will send you a bonus Jasmine laser flourish!

Flamenco Dancer Birthday card (Milk Coffee image)

OMGosh, it's so great to be back blogging, I really hope you all love the cards I've been creating lately, I'm about to bombard you with a few over the coming weekend hehe. 

I have been on a road trip from Melbourne to Sydney for a week and we had a lovely time but I really missed my crafting/blogging to my crafting friends.

Anyway, onto my latest card, this one was made using a gorgeous image from Milk Coffee. I coloured her with copic markers.
