Bears need love too (Crafty Sentiments image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Wow, my mind is either in the craft zone or it's completely gone!! At the moment I am in the zone so I hope you like what I'm creating :)

These little bears are just the cutest aren't they? You can find them at Crafty Sentiments. Valentine's Day is on the way so I am making a few love cards at the moment but there are others amongst them too.

The leaves have been cut from our Jack vine.

A girl in the window card (Paper Nest Dolls image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I hope you're enjoying 2016 so far :)

I have 3 cards to show today and this first one includes an image from Paper Nest Dolls. I coloured the little girl and the window frame then fussy cut around them so that I could add the pink "wall" background and some patterned "curtains". 

I was not really impressed with my new pressie (Aussie slang for present hehe) which was a brick wall die. The bricks in the middle didn't cut properly so I'm not sure if I need a new cutting mat or the die isn't good enough, hopefully I just need a new mat! Anyway, I decided it worked for this purpose as she is supposed to be in a house window so the bricks should be there haha!

Christmas girl with candy cane (Lacy Sunshine image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

This is my last card to show today, I don't know how I'm managing to post these as I can't stop coughing and feel so ill, I'm on antibiotics so hopefully I should be better by tomorrow the doctor said.

Anyway, onto my card and this one was created using Bo Bunny papers and a gorgeous little girl from Lacy Sunshine. I love creating scene cards and winter ones are especially cute I think - did you see my other scene card with a Saturated Canary image I just posted too?

Life's about Basketball card (The Paper Shelter image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I have been busting to colour this image for some time now as I love her sassiness and sportiness. I cropped the image before printing so that it was more of a portrait shot.
