A Walk in the Park Birthday Card (Aurora image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

My last card to show today, I know I've gone crazy haha! I had coloured up all the images already and sorted papers to go with them so it took a lot less time to make them all seeing as half the job was already done. 

I bought new dies and I am so excited! I have used my Lawn Fawn dies here - the sun, clouds and a stitched landscape border, I love them! I have seen them in Blogland so many times on crafters' beautiful cards and thought I just had to have them so I finally went ahead with it. I also have used a gorgeous image from Aurora Wings and a chipboard bench from Scrapmatts.

Shabby Chic Birthday Girl (Magnolia Ink image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

It's been a while since I've created with a Magnolia stamp as I usually tend to go for my digi images now but I thought I'd try using distress inks rather than my Copics. I think I'm a little better with my copics but I had a lot of fun trying this technique and I may try to do some more in the future especially seeing as I bought a million distress inks when I decided to give it a try haha!! I added the little flowers in her hair.

Birthday Challenge at Di's Digis (Di's Digis image)

Hi crafty friends,

Our electricity went out last night for the first time in a long time, I am feeling very sad for all those that keep losing power, we didn't know what to do with ourselves so we all had a nice early night.

Anyway, my card is a little late posting as I couldn't do it without power but I am now letting you all know about Di's Digis (blog) latest challenge which is Birthdays. I chose to do a boy's card and of course used a gorgeous image from Di's Digis(store).
