LBBS Purple Birthday card

I loved colouring up this Little Blue Buttons Stamp girl, I struggle with pleats in clothing but this one seemed a lot easier than most. This card is very clean and simple for me but I thought it suited her this time around, I'm sure I'll use her again with a busier card at some stage lol.

I think this is my last post before Christmas as it's Christmas eve afternoon here in Australia which is also my Mum's Birthday! So I wish you all a very merry Christmas and enjoy the silly season with friends and family but stay safe.

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.

Christmas card for my Mum

My mum loves dogs so I always try to incorporate a dog or animal on her cards. This little cutie is from Tiddly Inks but I just tried to find him for you and I don't think he's available anymore :(. 

I'd like to say a special thank you today to the lovely ladies at Word Art Wednesday for always leaving such sweet comments, they make my day. A big thank you to everyone that leaves comments for me, I love reading them (but please only leave them if you want to).
