Swinging Girl card (The East Wind image)

Hi everyone,

I'm sharing 3 new cards I've made, I don't quite know how I manage to get so many done sometimes as I have an office job, a craft business, a family (1 hubby, 2 kids) and a large house to clean! I guess its because this is what I love to do whenever I get a chance. I love to colour while watching my favourite TV shows too.

Speaking of my business, I have created this card using one of our gorgeous trees (named after my hubby - Lee's Tree) and some vine leaves and grass. The grass comes with the tree as a set. Click on our name to be taken to the store if you'd like to check it out (Flourish with a Bling). See the front page of the website for a special deal.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

AllSorts - Flower power

Bunny Zoe - Hearts (on paper)
Crafter's Cafe - Make your own background

Dream Valley - Valentine's Day 

Loves Rubberstamps -  Anything goes

Simon Says Stamp (Mon) - H is for hearts (on paper)   

Stempelsonne (Stamp Sun) -   Anything goes

The East Wind - Tainted Love (TEW image)

I am so thrilled to have a few new followers in the last week or two, welcome to my blog. I hope you all have a wonderful week, thanks for dropping in this time.

I'm a Guest Designer at Not Just Cards (A Random Fan image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today/tonight I have the honor of being a guest designer at Not Just Cards. I am thrilled to bits as I love their challenge blog, they are always Anything Goes, you can enter as many times as you like and they have wonderful sponsors, what more could you want from a challenge blog hehe? They kindly let me choose an image from this week's sponsors and I couldn't go past this sweet little darling on her bike, isn't she adorable? You could win this or many other images if you enter their challenge.

I used some of my embossing folders (dusted them off hehe, I really should be using them more often) to create a little scene. My daughter was tidying her bedroom and gave me the cute little butterflies, they are for fingernails really but we thought they would be perfect for my cards seeing as she didn't want them anymore, lucky me!
