Love Sunnies Summer Girl card (Lemon Shortbread image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I have been a bit busy redecorating my home at the moment and school holidays so I haven't had a chance to post my freshly created cards on my blog until now (sitting on my lovely new chaise with my luxuriously warm and cosy blanket). I always seem to find some time to create though.

This gorgeous image comes from Lemon Shortbread and I used some glossy accents on her sunglasses, lips and the hearts. I sparkled her top with some Wink of Stella and doodled some faux red stitching around the image to finish it off. The plaid papers are from Lawn Fawn.

Water Boy Birthday card (Tiddly Inks image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

How cute is this little boy from Tiddly Inks? I added some glossy accents to his goggles, arm bands and swim ring. I created the background sky using ink, sponge and a handmade cloud template. I have 2 gorgeous wave dies so I decided to incorporate them both into the scene. 



I used a sun from Flourish with a Bling store. It is part of an "Up in the sky" set.

Wedding Anniversary Card (The Paper Shelter image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

My lovely brother and sister-in-law are celebrating their 10 year wedding anniversary tomorrow so I popped this little card in their letterbox today, I'm hoping they like it. They went to Venice last year so I thought this was a perfect little image for them hehe. I didn't colour this image, it's a pre-coloured image from The Paper Shelter, I just added some text boxes to write my sentiments and personalise it before printing. The water paper is from Kaisercraft.

Circular Basketball teenage Birthday card

Hi Crafty Friends,

One of my son's friends is right into basketball this year so I decided to google basketball clipart and found this one. I enlarged it and printed it onto glossy photo paper then die cut it with one of my circle dies. I die cut a larger black circle too to make the card a little larger. I also printed out the sentiment on glossy paper. Quite a simple card but I think it turned out quite well for a teenager.
