Bright and Crisp Birthday Girl Card (The Greeting Farm image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Wow, I can't believe I've posted 6 cards tonight! That's a record for me I think. Well, this is the last one and I really like how this card turned out. I'm not really a clean and crisp kind of crafter so this is about as clean and simple as I get hehe. I have used a gorgeously girly image from The Greeting Farm, I have created cards with her a few times in the past but not for quite some time so thought she was due for another showing. She is a rubber stamp.

Make a Wish Monster card (Bugaboo image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

This could be a girl's card but I think it totally rocks as a boy's card. I love using Bugaboo images and this one is no exception, how cute are these little monsters, they're ready to party alright! I cut out the sentiment and foam taped it to give it depth.

Pirate Boy card (DigiStamp Boutique image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Have you seen my other boyish cards tonight? This one is my 3rd, very unusual for me I know. One of my fave digi shops for boys images has got to be DigiStamp Boutique and that is exactly where this one came from, how cute is he? I have used this image before but with pirate papers and dark colours so I have it under this one so you can see the difference. I think he looks cute both ways. I thought this image was perfect to go with the waves on the Bo Bunny papers so once I had coloured the image it was a pretty easy card to create.

Audrey Hepburn Style Girly Birthday Card (All Dressed Up image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Here's my first girly card of the night and I have used a stunning image from All Dressed Up. She is perfect for so many girly cards isn't she? So elegant she reminds me of Audrey Hepburn. I have used a rectangular card for a change, only thing is it is difficult to add to challenges as the blogs like square cards. I used a gorgeous small Maddison red flower from FWAB who are having a 50% off everything sale this month (see below for more details).

This gorgeous little boy comes from La La Land Stamps and the tickets are from Digital Delights and I coloured them with my copics to match the Bo Bunny papers.

I'm rich card (Zuri Artsy Craftsy image)

Hi crafty friends,

Isn't it lovely how we all can communicate and share our creativity with others all over the world nowadays? I know I sound old haha but it's so hard to imagine no internet now, what did we do, how did we find information on anything without Google, I just can't believe most of us have lived in those days, I'm sure the younger generation couldn't even fathom the idea of no technology hehe! I know my daughter wouldn't survive without her mobile it would seem haha.

I love sharing my cards and I absolutely love looking through other blogs to get inspiration and get me excited to create when I have a little lull in mojo.

I have created this card for my very first girlfriend who lives in England (I'm in Australia). We have kept in contact and even caught up with each in person a few times over the past 33 years. My family emigrated to Oz when I was 10. We are hoping to meet in Vegas this year, what fun that will be! I loved this sentiment out of a friendship book of quotes I have so I decided to add it to my card. The sweet girl is from Zuri Artsy Craftsy and I added some little alphas to the letter she is holding hehe.

Hi crafty friends,

Thank you so much for dropping by my blog today. Did you know Di's Digis has a new challenge up today? It's a lovely theme - Add sparkle.

I love this image from Di's Digis, it can be used for boys or girls.
