Baby Blue Birthday card (LCM 17)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Here's something a little different from me which I created for a magazine publication (Love Cardmaking Australia issue 17). The theme was to create 8 quick and easy cards. I used a gorgeous Maddison flower from Flourish with a Bling, my company that's closing down very soon. This weekend our 10 pack of assorted flowers are only $1.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

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

Lemon Shortbread - anything goes 

Southern Girls - Playing the blues

Word Art Wednesday -  anything goes

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.

Mother's Day Sprite card (Aurora Wings image)

Hi crafty friends,

Aurora Wings are giving us this gorgeous sprite to play with for free (not sure if it is still available), isn't that so generous of them, the image is so sweet! I loved using this colour combo, I always love using black as it seems to make the rest of the card pop. I used an old Fiskars grass border punch.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Aurora Wings - joyous occasions 

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

Cute Card Thursday - anything goes 

Lemon Shortbread -  anything goes

Southern Girls - Playing the blues

Hello Fairy (Lawn Fawn stamps)

Hi crafty friends,

For this card I used papers and stamps from Lawn Fawn. I faux stitched on the sentiment, which was cut out using my new Brother Scan n Cut (loving it). I added some Nuvo drops and this was a quick and easy card. I cut out the sentiment 3 times and glued each letter together to give it a lot more depth than just one layer.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper -  anything goes with patterned paper
Cupcake Inspirations - magical creatures 

Cute Card Thursday -  anything goes

The Paper Shelter - Letters and/or numbers

Kids on a Tyre Swing card (Polkadoodles image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Polkadoodles have a new challenge just started on their blog, I hope you'll join in, you don't have to use one of their products but it'd be lovely if you do. 

Their challenges are always Anything Goes but the DT are given a theme and this time it's Outdoor Fun. I chose this incredibly cute image along with a sky background paper (I used the image in a PNG format so I could add the black & white image to the sky paper before printing then colouring them with my Copics). I change the colour of the Polkadoodles polka dot papers to any colour I choose before printing with my Word editing options. 

For my card I have used the following Polkadoodles products: 

Papers (polka dot and background sky) - Winnie Celebrations 1 - papers 2

Image - Winnie Special Moments

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Aloha Fridays -  anything goes with optional twist: congrats

As you like it - Fave card shape/fold - most of my cards are square 6x6 as I find it's the perfect size and shape to add scenes or lots of patterned papers.

All about the sentiment (Polkadoodles sentiment)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Polkadoodles have a new challenge just started on their blog. Their challenges are always anything goes but they give the DT a theme and this time it is to focus on the sentiment. So I used one of the sentiments from Polkadoodles Winnie Special Moments. Before I printed it I added a pink shadow to the words. I made the background with distress oxide inks and black and white paint splatters with some added doodling for fun. 

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Scrapbook Boutique - I was inspired by the black & white dots (top left photo), the flowers (top right photo) and the pink shade in the bottom left photo. 
Simon Says Stamp (Mon) - inspired by a song - (I think You're..) Amazing by George Michael 

Word Art Wednesday -  anything goes 

Have a great day,

Pogo Stick Birthday Girl card (Tiddly Inks image)

I love this sweet girl from Tiddly Inks. I used some border and cloud dies from Lawn Fawn.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

As you like it - flora or fauna - this was a difficult decision but I've chosen flora as I love adding flowers and scenery to my cards so I'd say I use flora more often. I've used a lot of sponsor's products on this card.
