Birthday Balloon Girl (Saturated Canary image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Happy Australia Day! It is our national day of celebrating our wonderful country today and I must say, I'm pretty happy to be an Aussie.

I have created 2 really girly cards with the same Kaisercraft papers but still very different designs I think. This one is using a gorgeous image from Saturated Canary. I added a little doodling around the image, kind of like a balloon string. I have used this image before so have a photo of it below.

I have also used some rhinestones and teal pearls from Flourish with a Bling, see below for our sale. The Aussie dollar is really low at the moment so if you're overseas its a perfect time to buy our products as they are also 50% off this week. 




Flourish with a Bling have a 50% off sale all throughout January, everything is half off!! I hope you'll check out our website as we have our own unique products and we post worldwide. Please email if you would like rough estimates of shipping, if we can send it as a large letter we will or perhaps get your friends to all buy too and share the postage!

Girl and Squirrel Birthday card (The Paper Shelter image)

Hi everyone,

This is my last card of the day and it's very different from all the others as it has more of a shabby chic feel. I have used a beautiful image from The Paper Shelter, isn't it a lovely scene? The fence is from FWAB who are having a 50% off sale and for those overseas this means huge savings as our Aussie dollar is also down so you get our beautiful products for next to nothing but only for this month (see below for more details).

Paul's CAS Birthday Card (Kenny K image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I have created this card for my sister's partner using an image from Kenny K. I love this image as it suits so many males I know haha (they all love a beer don't they?). Although we're in Oz, he supports the USA's Green Bay Packers so I looked up their colours hence the colour combo (gosh I hope I got it right, anyone know hehe?) I think he'll appreciate that I went to the effort of doing it in his favourite teams colours if they're right.

Bright and Crisp Birthday Girl Card (The Greeting Farm image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Wow, I can't believe I've posted 6 cards tonight! That's a record for me I think. Well, this is the last one and I really like how this card turned out. I'm not really a clean and crisp kind of crafter so this is about as clean and simple as I get hehe. I have used a gorgeously girly image from The Greeting Farm, I have created cards with her a few times in the past but not for quite some time so thought she was due for another showing. She is a rubber stamp.
