Dog with balloons over the city (Digi Darla image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Once a digi shop closes down can you share their images? I'm just wondering as I would love to share this little cutie with you as you can no longer buy it but I'm not sure if that's allowed, anyone know? He was from Digi Darla's. I thought he went perfectly with this beautiful hot air balloon paper in the background.

Teal and Purple Princess card (MoonFlower image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I have made a pretty, girly card using a lovely image from MoonFlower digistamps. I have actually used this image before so I'll post a photo below as they are very different cards.

Had a Ruff Day? (Bugaboo image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I have a few cards to show today as it's been such hot weather here I managed to tuck myself away in my air-conditioned house and craft, yay!

So this sky in the card does not represent my current view outside my window and I hope it doesn't look like your sky too hehe. The image is from Bugaboo.

Hi Crafty Friends,

I haven't torn paper in ages and I think brown papers go really well with this technique and I'd had the girl coloured up for ages, she complements the writing paper as she's an office girl. You can find her at The Paper Shelter. This is my last card for today, thanks for coming to check it out.

On your wedding day card

Hi Crafty Friends,

I created this card for my sister and her new hubby originally but I really wanted to add their names to personalise it and I realised at the end that there was just nowhere it looked right on this card so I had to make a new one and I'll keep this one for another time as I really liked how it turned out. I've not made many wedding cards so I find it very difficult. Under the little white rose in the top right hand said "our" which is why I covered it and added some alphas to say "on your" instead.



I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Card Mania - layer it
Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper -  anything goes with patterned paper
Creatalicious -  anything goes with optional twist: HNY/Wishes 
Cute Card Thursday -  anything goes
Dies r us -  anything goes with dies - Spellbinders border dies used

As always, thank you so much for dropping by and extra special thanks to my lovely followers and visitors that leave some beautiful comments for me, they warm my heart.
