Christmas Elf card (Saturated Canary image)

Hi crafty friends,

I hope all my US friends enjoyed Thanksgiving. It always looks like such a lovely holiday in the movies, I wish we had the celebration here too. I guess we have Australia Day and we all have fun with family and friends, normally a BBQ, its in January, our summer.  

Onto my card, I have used an image from Saturated Canary which you sadly can't buy anymore as they have closed the shop.

Men are like fine wine (Bugaboo image)

Hi crafty friends,

Fairy in the clouds card (CC Designs image)

Hey there,

I was asked to create a 1 year old girl's Birthday card, I'm really hoping the card giver and the little baby girl like this card I've made for them. The cute little image is from CC Designs, the bottom cloud border is from Magnolia and the clouds are Lawn Fawn Spring Showers set. The balloon die was free with a magazine and I used glitter foam, surprisingly it goes through the die cutting machine with no difficulty whatsoever.
