Blue shabby rhinestone card (The Greeting Farm image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

This card is using a gorgeous image from The Greeting Farm, I have had her forever but still love this rubber stamp. For this card I used an embossing folder, something I don't actually get out and use very much although I love how everyone else seems to create so beautifully with them. Once I'd embossed the teal paper I lightly went over it with sandpaper so you can see the details better. 

I used some love heart stamps, snowflake die cuts and some Flourish with a Bling - Elise silver flourish, Elise white flower and silver rhinestones. Flourish with a Bling is selling all their products for $2 each this month, that's more than half off most products!! I hope you'll check out our website as we have our own unique products and we post worldwide.

Red, Black & White Sassy Birthday Girl card (The East Wind image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I hope you're all enjoying your weekend. I'm sadly still stuck indoors trying to get rid of my cough, I can't believe it's been a month! I have had 2 nights in a row no coughing now so hopefully I'm over it. I am going to see my "boyfriend" Adam Lambert in concert tomorrow night so I'm desperate to get better for that. 

So this is the reason why you have seen a million cards from me this month (or what might seem like a million cards hehe), I have not done much else! Here I am with another 2 cards tonight, this one is using a sassy image from The East Wind. I have also used a red Maddison flower from Flourish with a Bling, my company where we have a huge sale on, please see below for details or click on our name.

Best Wishes Bear (LOTV image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

There is only a couple of hours left to get the Catch the Bug Jungle challenge week creations in so I have 3 more, 2 are using Bugaboo images but this one is not. This is using a Lili of the Valley topper so I haven't coloured this one (very unlike me I know). I love this bear though so I just had to create a soft card to match him and his surroundings.

Thoughts of you on your Birthday (The East Wind image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

My last card for the night and doing something a little different with this one. I fussy cut the image out and made a "table" for her to sit at with her hot cocoa. She looks like she's thinking of someone so I decided to make a little letter to go with her like she's just read it and missing the person. Is this the story you see in the card hehe? This beautiful image is from The East Wind. Well, that's it from me now, I hope you enjoyed seeing all of my cards and wishing you a very crafty weekend!
