Robot Circular Card (Tiddly Inks image)

Hi everyone,

I've created a boy's card today using my Spellbinders circle die cuts and embossing folder. The papers are from Echo Park.

My GD Mermaid Sunshine card for Crafts and Me (Hannah Lynn image)

Hi everyone,

I hope you've had a great weekend? 

I am a guest designer for the month of June at the Crafts and Me challenge blog and this is my 2nd card for them. I absolutely adore these images by Hannah Lynn which can be found at the Crafts and Me online store. I coloured her tail and top with green and red Copic markers and then used some clear glue and glitter over the top. These papers are from Echo Park and I loved this sentiment. I didn't have any sand to add to my little bottle so I used some puffy embossing powder instead, fooled my hubby so I was happy with my sand replacement.

I love Paris card (The Paper Shelter image)

Hi everyone,

I hope you had a lovely weekend. It was a beautifully sunny Winter weekend here in Australia's Victoria and we have a day off today for the Queen's Birthday even though it's not her Birthday hehe. Our government decided to put it in June as we don't have any public holidays then! We're not complaining hehe. I'm hoping to get some crafting done as we've had "family time" over the weekend.

I love this image from The Paper Shelter, having just been back to Paris last August I was totally inspired. I felt the gorgeous paper and image shouldn't get too congested with embellishments so I went for a more simple card this time.
