Easter bunny girl circular shaped card (Polkadoodles image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I love this sweet little Easter girl dressed in a bunny suit from Polkadoodles. I cropped her so that just the top half of the image is showing and then enlarged it to print it out. I used a red corrugated paper and some pearls and leaves from Flourish with a Bling store.

No lines Copic colouring card (Saturated Canary image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I do like to occasionally try different techniques and styles of cards, etc so this time I coloured up another no lines colouring image. To create the "no lines" I just use the editing section in Word to create it. Once I've copied the image into a Word document, I click on it then choose "format" on the top bar, there's a "colour" choice under format, that will give you a dropdown menu of different colours you can change the image to and I'll change it to 25% or 50% (depending on the image) which lightens it to a lighter grey. You can still see the lines a bit on this image so I would have made it 50% lighter. Hope that all makes sense :)
Feel free to email me any questions you may ever have regarding my crafting/cards.

For you bird card (Tiddly Inks image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I have a couple of Tiddly Inks cards to show you and I need to be quick as their challenge ends in 15 mins, arghhhh lol!!! I created this card for a magazine that I needed to use 1 piece of 12x12 patterned paper for 7 cards. As you can see I used it sparingly on this card hehe! You can find the sweet little birds at Tiddly Inks and I just added the "for you" on their little note pads with a Sharpie pen.
