I cherish you card (Crafts & Me/Hannah Lynn image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Although I've used similar colours in these 3 cards I've posted tonight, I think they all look quite different, especially this one. I was ultra-excited to colour up this beautiful image from Hannah Lynn (find her images at C&Me). The thing I most love about Valentine's Day themed cards is using red and pink together, its one of my favourite colour combinations in cardmaking. 

I have also used some leaves, pearls and the red flower from Flourish with a Bling. We are selling all our products at a ridiculous $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.

Dog with flower Valentine's Day card (Bugaboo image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

It's me back again with another Bugaboo card this time using a funny little dog who seems to be in love :)

I was trying to do a 1 layer card but I just can't seem to do it, I love everyone else's CAS cards but I just can never seem to get that finished look to it so this is the closest I can get to clean and simple.

A Perfect Couple Valentine's Day card (Bugaboo image)

Happy Valentine's Weekend Crafty Friends,

Valentine's Day is almost upon us so I have got into full "Love" mode and created a few Valentine's Day cards. Not sure who for really haha, I only have one dearly beloved husband!! I think I'm going to give him this card as it's a little like us (with a poetic licence!!) The gorgeous twosome come from Bugaboo and I used this wordy paper that I have had for the longest time in my stash, I'm so happy to have finally come up with a way to use it. I also used a couple of my border dies to cut out the hearts and give the cloud border.

Blue Dancing Couple card (Scrapper's Delights image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I love this time of year. It's summer here in Australia, school's just gone back, Valentine's day is coming, our footy season is about to start, my Birthday is in Feb which means crafty pressies yay! Easter is not too far away. So much to be excited about! And when it comes to cardmaking my favourite kinds are Valentine's Day, Spring and Easter - they're all about red and pink and other pretty colours, hearts and flowers, I love it!! But then after saying all that I've gone and made a royal blue card haha!

I cheated with this image (well, not really cheating, I'm not saying I coloured it) as I printed the coloured image instead of the digi. I loved how they coloured it so wanted to see how it would come out. The image is from Scrapper's Delights. Her dress looks so shiny doesn't it, wish I could colour this good!
