Patiently awaiting a baby princess card (Lili of the Valley image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Happy New Year! I hope you all had a wonderful time celebrating with friends and family. We've been having beautiful weather for our summer, not too hot most days so it's been just perfect. We had a super hot day yesterday so my craft room was the perfect place to be so I have many cards to show over the coming days.

I think I mentioned these gorgeous alpha teddies late last year when I made a card for my English friend. I am in love with these bears from Lili of the Valley, you can buy them as a set and also numbers too. I have another card to show shortly that's made for a baby boy, hopefully you'll check it out too. They're digis so they're easy to add to your stash without having an extra 26 stamps to find homes for :)

A Gem of a Challenge - Happy anything 
AllSorts - Something New - New baby

Warmest Wishes bear card (LOTV image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Isn't this scene and bear just adorable? You can find it at Lili of the Valley. It's the complete opposite of what weather we have here in Australia over Christmas as it's Summer here but it doesn't stop us Aussie crafters from making winter cards over this time of the year.
