Basketball Birthday boy card (Bugaboo image)

Hi to all my crafting buddies,

Today I've created a card using a Bugaboo image, how adorable is he for boys' cards and he was really fun to colour too! I did a little faux stitching again, I love doing that when I feel a card needs a little more oomph to it hehe. I also inked all around the papers so give it more of a boyish grunge look.

Flamenco Dancer Birthday card (Milk Coffee image)

OMGosh, it's so great to be back blogging, I really hope you all love the cards I've been creating lately, I'm about to bombard you with a few over the coming weekend hehe. 

I have been on a road trip from Melbourne to Sydney for a week and we had a lovely time but I really missed my crafting/blogging to my crafting friends. We are having the opposite weather to those of you suffering in the cold, we have had a heatwave and just about to get another next week, I hope you're all getting a little warmer weather now.

Anyway, onto my latest card, this one was made using a gorgeous image from Milk Coffee. I coloured her with copic markers.

I'm Bugaboo's biggest fan in January!

Hi everyone,

I was so happy when Bugaboo emailed to say they'd noticed how I had been using their images often and letting you all know about where to find them. So now I am Bugaboo's Biggest Fan for January!! I love their images and do use them often, I have been lucky enough to win a lot of vouchers as they sponsor so many great challenge blogs as well as having challenges on their own blog. Here's their newsletter announcing me as their biggest fan (as well as many other interesting items lol) https://app.box.com/s/dbr8l3k6patpqlbd7r6r. 

Their challenge this week is Anything goes so I decided to make a nice bright card to show off one of their little Sunbonnet girls.

The pink flower, leaves and pearls are all from my company, Flourish with a Bling and we're having a 30% off flowers sale for the whole month of January. Just want to let you all know quickly that Flourish with a Bling are sponsoring challenges in 2014, woohoo!
