Thank you card in my garden (Lala Land image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

My last card to show you tonight is a fall inspired card using a Lala Land stamp. I actually coloured the image when I first started cardmaking but I never created with it. When I came across it in my stash I decided to colour over the top to see how my colouring had come along and how much it would change how it looked. I'm so annoyed with myself that I didn't take a photo of the "before" colouring so you could see the difference. I added a little bird to her hat to match the "garden".

A Girly 18th Birthday card (All Dressed Up image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Here's a 2nd card using an All Dressed Up image tonight. My daughter wanted me to create a card for one of her best friends who has just turned 18. I thought this was a lovely classy image for Jess.

A Birthday Girl in Europe card (All Dressed Up image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I have a few cards to show tonight. 

It still feels like winter here as Spring is only just starting, I can't wait for the warmer weather but I feel I can't complain about our cold weather when Hurricane Irma is destroying parts of the beautiful Caribbean and on it's way to Florida, I hope none of you are being affected by it.

On a happier note, I created this card for my gorgeous UK friend who holidays in Spain all the time and is going again for her birthday this month. This scene and girl reminded me of her, you can find it at All Dressed Up. Instead of colouring with my copics I used my distress inks watered down.

All Dressed Up - anything goes with an ADU image

Card Mania - shabby chic or rustic 

Craft-Alnica - shabby chic

Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper - anything goes with patterned paper
