Thoughts of you on your Birthday (The East Wind image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

My last card for the night and doing something a little different with this one. I fussy cut the image out and made a "table" for her to sit at with her hot cocoa. She looks like she's thinking of someone so I decided to make a little letter to go with her like she's just read it and missing the person. Is this the story you see in the card hehe? This beautiful image is from The East Wind. Well, that's it from me now, I hope you enjoyed seeing all of my cards and wishing you a very crafty weekend!

Make a Wish Fairy card (Wee Stamps image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I haven't created a true shabby chic card for a little while so I thought it was time. I have had this image printed for the longest time and have seen her coloured up so beautifully on other people's cards but I wasn't inspired to colour her myself for some reason. To be honest, I don't think I thought I'd do a very good job of it. But I'm really happy with how she turned out and how the whole card came together. You can find this gorgeous fairy at Wee Stamps

Snake Lion Giraffe CAS card (Bugaboo Stamps image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Another Bugaboo image card as I am joining in with their Jungle week theme which they have a new challenge every day. I love using their images, here are 3 I put together. It makes a huge change for me to go really clean and simple like this but sometimes it suits their images well doesn't it? I always see everyone else creating beautiful CAS cards, I normally feel there's something missing on mine as I'm so used to embellishments, I find them quite a challenge.
