Little Birthday Girl with puppy (Little Miss Muffet image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

This little sweetie can be found at Little Miss Muffet, I just love how she's cuddling the cute pup and her curly pony tails were so much fun to colour.

I embossed the background then went over the flowers with Wink of Stella and added antique brown rhinestones (from Flourish with a Bling) to the flower centres.

Stylish Dog Walker (Bugaboo Stamps image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I have 3 more cards to show you today. I create in spurts of colouring a few images in one sitting and then another time, creating the cards with the coloured images. I know some crafters prefer to colour and create the card all at one time, I would love to know how you like to do it.

This sassy girl is from Bugaboo, I think she's adorable. I love this lace and how you can weave ribbon through it to match the card. The butterfly is a brad.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Crafty Ribbons - summer with ribbon or lace (used both)

Sweet as you card (Time for Tea Designs image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

The lovely Jo at Time for Tea Designs was so generous to give me this gorgeous image to play with. I loved colouring her up so much that I ended up making 2 cards with her (I have just posted the other one). This image is called Cute Girl and you can find her HERE (or click on their name above to go to the homepage). I cropped the image this time for a different version of the image and added a gorgeous sentiment from Sweet & Sassy Stamps. I gave her a spotty dress just using a darker copic marker. If you use a T4Tea Designs image you can also join in Jo's challenges at Time for Tea Designs.

I have a query I'm hoping one of you can help me with. When I upload my entry using the blue frog I paste my blog post URL in, then it automatically comes up with the link title (ie Lucy loves scrapping: Sweet as you card...). I just want my name (Lucy Patrick) under my photo in the challenges, does anyone know how to change the settings? It has only been doing this for the past month or so but I'm finding it very time-consuming to change each time.

Apricot Birthday girl (Time for Tea Designs image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

The lovely Jo at Time for Tea Designs was so generous to give me this gorgeous image to play with.

I used some Wink of Stella on the hearts and butterflies. If you use a T4Tea Designs image you can also join in Jo's challenges at Time for Tea Designs.

Basketball shaker card (Bugaboo image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I couldn't help myself, I had to create another shaker card hehe! I couldn't wait for my foam tape to arrive in the post so I bought some more at one of the local shops. 

This card is for a basketball star in the making and the cute little boy is from Bugaboo. I inked up some wooden stars to add to the outside of the card and the frame was embossed with a wooden embossing folder. I masked the green background paper and inked it with a more olive green to compliment his clothing.

Best Buddies Birthday card (Melonheadz images)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Aren't these two little boys cute? You can find them at Melonheadz. I printed them close to each other but they are 2 separate images. I wish I had cut the bit inbetween them but I had already added dimension behind them before I realised doh! This cool paper from Bo Bunny was perfect for their background, I just had to fussy cut from the pathway to add my green cardstock for "grass".
