Girl on a branch card (Wee Stamps image)

Hi crafty friends,

I have wasted soooo much time trying to get a good photo of this card but for some reason I cannot get everything looking like it does in real life! It's so frustrating, do you ever have that problem? It's happens to me every so often, it must be the colours or something. So I have gone with the photo that shows off the beautiful brown rhinestone flourish and green leaves both of which are from Flourish with a Bling. This meant the papers and image are a bit darker and duller than they are in real life, it looks really whimsical and light IRL. The sweet image is from Wee Stamps.

Dragon in Love card (Conie Fong/Sweet Pea Stamps image)

Hi crafty friends,

I'm so pleased with how this photo came out, sometimes it is so difficult to photograph shaped cards, do you find that too? 

I used my old retro flower punches for a lot of this card. I cut the punched flowers in half, curled their petals and stuck them behind the other papers (the white and red flowers but 2 different sizes). I doodled some stitching just for fun too. The sweet little dragon is drawn by Conie Fong and you can find it at Sweet Pea Stamps.

Be Mine Bunnies (Inky Impressions image)

Hi Crafty friends,

These little bunnies come from Inky Impressions, aren't they adorable? I used a Bo Bunny paper which was pretty fussy already so I just used my white pen to doodle/stitch around the heart and card border. I used foam tape on the bunnies to make them pop off the card and added some flowers.

Monster Love (Drawn with Character image)

Hi everyone,

I could not get a good photo of this card, such a shame as it is really cute in real life but not showing in the photo, sometimes that happens doesn't it? Because the Drawn with Character monsters were pretty full on I decided to do more of a clean and simple card with them. The heart has the background paper on it with triangles but it just looks black in the photo.
