Saturated Canary Winter card

It's funny how I've now got used to creating winter cards when it's summer here and vice versa lol. Here in Australia it's Summer and we don't even have snow here except in the mountains but I still get great joy out of creating winter/snow cards! 

This darling little image is from Saturated Canary. I used Flourish with a Bling antique gold pearls for her buttons.

Christmas Gift pouch

Happy Holidays everyone!

We are giving our daughter some money as well as presents for Christmas and so I thought it would be nice to create a little gift pouch to put the money in. It was very easy to make, just folding the card over and making it slightly shorter at the front. Open the top and there is another fold that I've stuck down the sides with double sided tape so it's like a little wallet to keep the money safe inside. I'm hoping she likes it but I'm sure she will as she loves these Hannah Lynn images from Crafts & Me. I'm not quite sure why the skin has come up a bit odd as it doesn't look like that in real life.
