Birthday Wishes Red & Brown card (Saturated Canary image)

Hi everyone,

I hope it's warming up where you are, most of you have the opposite seasons to us here in Australia, here it's cooling down and quickly! We're due to have a month's worth of rain in just 4 days.

Onto my latest card, I've created this one with a Saturated Canary image, isn't she beautiful, her name is Zoe I think. 

I gave my sister a die cutting lesson the other day and while doing so I discovered the Spellbinders Grand Calibur and dies do actually cut through material! I was very excited about this so I tried it with my brown hessian and voila, I love how it turned out. I have also used some cork paper as backing paper and experimented with punching out some butterflies and they worked too, my lucky day hehe!!

I have used some latte pearls and antique gold pearls from my company, Flourish with a Bling who are having free worldwide postage, see below for details.

Flourish with a Bling have free shipping on all orders over $20AUD for the month of April! This includes Australia and worldwide! No matter how large the order, there's no postage cost. I hope you'll check out our website as we have our own unique products that we've designed ourselves. Click HERE to be taken to our easy-to-use website.

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.
