Girly Birthday wishes (Kenny K image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Do you craft to get away from it all sometimes? I definitely do, I need time to myself to go into my own little world and create happy cards and boy have I been doing a lot of that over the past month hehe. 

I have so many cards to post over the coming weeks, I hope you enjoy looking at them and maybe get some inspiration or ideas from me. I love that I have gained a few extra followers over the past 2 weeks while I have been adding more posts to my blog - you all give me that extra push to want to create more with the lovely comments and just coming to see my work.

This card is using some super papers from Bo Bunny and a gorgeously girly girl from Kenny K.

Flourish with a Bling is selling all their products for $2 each this month, that's more than half off most products!! I hope you'll check out our website as we have our own unique products and we post worldwide.

Dorothy and Toto girly card (Crafts & Me/Hannah Lynn image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Who doesn't love The Wizard of Oz movie? I grew up watching it every Christmas in England (I live in Australia now) and I just adored it. So when I saw this gorgeous Dorothy & Toto image from Crafts and Me (Hannah Lynn is the artist) I just had to have it. I got to use some Tim Holtz film strips which I haven't used very often. I printed the image at 75% so that it wasn't a completely black outline. I also coloured her dress blue and then doodled checks on it in white.

I'm a Covergirl - Woohoo!!! Well, my card is hehe...

Hi crafty friends,

I can't believe it!! My card made the front cover of a wonderful magazine here in Australia called Australian Papercraft Essentials. I was asked to create 7 cards in issue 48 which is due out on the 14th January but I never expected they'd choose my card as the main attraction on the front page, I'm so excited and so I just had to share it with you all hehe. The theme was girly (thank goodness!) and I was to use gorgeous images from Cute as a Button. I will be able to post them all on my blog at some stage but for now I am not allowed :(

But here's the front cover, my card is the big one:

Anyone interested in a copy of this magazine, click HERE and it will take you to the store. If you got to the end of this post, thank you so much for letting me do a bit of bragging hehe, I really appreciate it!
