Baby & Birds Spring card (The Paper Shelter image)

Hi everyone,

I created another card today using a beautiful image from The Paper Shelter. I wasn't sure whether to give her a baby sentiment or not but decided to leave it blank in the end. My colouring in real life looks a bit better than my camera is letting on but it won't always show it, nasty camera hehe.

Cute dog card for Mum (DigiStamp Boutique image)

Hi everyone,

I know I say it all the time how much I love my digis hehe but seriously, is he not adorable? My Mum is going to love this card as she loves dogs so I'm excited to give it to her (our Mother's Day is in May). This image can be found at DigiStamp Boutique. My mum is so special, I just can't imagine life without her. She just had the best news today too, the oncologist told her she was now totally cancer-free after having an aggressive form of breast cancer in 2009, nothing quite like health and family is there?

The pearls for the flower & butterfly centres are from my company, Flourish with a Bling, which have free worldwide postage this month (see below for more details). We have pearl packs in 15 different colours including purple, antique gold, blue and olive green which are unusual colours in pearls.
