Love XOX card (Bugaboo image)

Hey guys,

I have another card for you today and this one is created with a cute little Bugaboo image. I must admit I had seen the word "Love" being coloured this way (in a different colour in my defence hehe) so it's not an original idea but I thought it looked great so wanted to try it too. (I have just discovered that the image was coloured by a lovely blog buddy of mine and brilliant cardmaker, Manderly and here's a link to her card. It's a small blogging world isn't it hehe?)

I have used pearls and the gorgeous flower is from my company, Flourish with a Bling who are having a 50% off sale all throughout February, 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.

Happy Valentine's Day (Scrapper's Delight image)

Hi to all my crafty friends, 

I have yet another card this week! I still have a few more that I haven't posted yet too, I'm on fire this month, I can't stop creating, it's like cheap therapy for me hehe. It's been so hot some days there's nothing better than staying inside and crafting where its cool. I have my ex-dining table upstairs especially for crafting, we have air con and a ceiling fan so I'm set! 

This is the first time I've used one of my Scrapper's Delights images and I'm really happy with how she came out, she looks so sweet doesn't she? It has made me really eager to colour my other SD images now! After I coloured her with my copics I used my white ink pen to give her dress polka dots. I typed up the sentiment with a lovely font and colour and cut it out freehand.

Happy Birthday Honey Bee card (Lacy Sunshine image & Make It Crafty background image)

Hi Crafty friends,

To all my gorgeous followers that saw my last SC card and I mentioned a mistake, that is so sweet that you all read my post AND it must have been obvious as you all saw I missed colouring the eyes hehe but you were all so lovely about it, I loved reading the comments. 

This little scene is the combination of a Lacy Sunshine  girl and Make it Crafty background, I thought they go well together. I used the PNG file versions of each image so I could add her to the background.

Cheers CAS card (Milk Coffee image)

Hi Crafty friends,

It is absolutely boiling hot here in Melbourne, Australia today! I know some of you might be thinking you'd give anything to swap to warmth as it's so cold in other countries right now but seriously, this is urghhhh hot hehe!! We have school starting back this week so it's not even like we can avoid going outside as there's so much to organise.

Anyway, enough whinging haha, I used a beautiful new image from Milk Coffee to create this card. She is so adorable I didn't want to flounce the card up too much so I went with a more clean and simple look. After I coloured her with copics I went crazy with my white ink pen to give her polka dots on her dress, I think it looks sweet, hope you do too.
