Playing Hookie from school card (Lacy Sunshine image)

Hi everyone,

Here's a sweet little card I made with a super sweet Lacy Sunshine image. She's a naughty little girl as she's playing hookie, see her school books in her bag hehe. I stamped the postage stamp with gold embossing powder. I doodled some gold "stitching" around the image. 

I have used part of a pearl flourish and leaves from Flourish with a Bling who are having a massive sale which finishes in a few days, see below for details.

Hi everyone,

So happy to be able to post a card during the week rather than only on weekends lately. I have had a few hours spare to colour and create, my favourite things to do in my spare time.

The pearl flourish and flower are also from Flourish with a Bling.

Gamer Boy Birthday card (Kenny K image)

Hi everyone,

I hope you're having a great weekend, lovely to see a little bit of sunshine here in Australia, hoping there's more to come as we start heading towards Spring (1st Sept), yay!!!

This image from Kenny K was perfect for my son's Birthday card, he is obsessed with Minecraft, anyone else have this problem with their kidlets? I just don't understand the fascination with it but he loves it. 

My papers for this card are from Echo Park, I think the range was called "about a boy".
