A girl in the window card (Paper Nest Dolls image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I hope you're enjoying 2016 so far :)

I have 3 cards to show today and this first one includes an image from Paper Nest Dolls. I coloured the little girl and the window frame then fussy cut around them so that I could add the pink "wall" background and some patterned "curtains". 

I was not really impressed with my new pressie (Aussie slang for present hehe) which was a brick wall die. The bricks in the middle didn't cut properly so I'm not sure if I need a new cutting mat or the die isn't good enough, hopefully I just need a new mat! Anyway, I decided it worked for this purpose as she is supposed to be in a house window so the bricks should be there haha!

Christmas girl with candy cane (Lacy Sunshine image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

This is my last card to show today, I don't know how I'm managing to post these as I can't stop coughing and feel so ill, I'm on antibiotics so hopefully I should be better by tomorrow the doctor said.

Anyway, onto my card and this one was created using Bo Bunny papers and a gorgeous little girl from Lacy Sunshine. I love creating scene cards and winter ones are especially cute I think - did you see my other scene card with a Saturated Canary image I just posted too? I can't decide on my favourite out of these two cards.

Life's about Basketball card (The Paper Shelter image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I have been busting to colour this image for some time now as I love her sassiness and sportiness. I cropped the image before printing so that it was more of a portrait shot. You can find this image at The Paper Shelter. I bought the basketball embellies recently at a craft fair so was happy to get the chance to use them.

A Winter Girly scene card (Saturated Canary image)

Hi Crafty Friends,


Happy New Year!! I hope you all had a fantastic time bringing in the New Year, I was sick so it was a very quiet one for me. 



I love this image from Saturated Canary, I cropped her so that I only coloured the top half. See the card below where I used the whole image. I used some Bo Bunny papers, Flourish with a Bling fence and lamp post & snowflake dies along with some pearls for snow drops.

Music Boy card (Bugaboo Stamps image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I have a craft market on this week where I'll be selling my cards and I know I don't have many boy cards in comparison to girly ones so thought I better do a couple of extra ones. But the next 3 cards I have to show you are all super girly oops hehe.

This little guy comes from Bugaboo, I thought he'd look cool sitting on a brick wall. I thought it needed a little extra something so I doodled the black & white outline around the image, it's very easy to do. Just draw 2 wavy lines then draw lines inside it and colour every second box in black!
