Fairy and Dragon sweet card

Hi Crafty Friends, I have another card to show you today with a gorgeous A Day for Daisies image. I absolutely love the image but I'm not a great fan of my finished card, (I think my heart and flower are too big for such a delicate image) so my next blog post may just be the same image with a completely different look lol. I am such a fan of shabby chic but I just can't seem to do it, mine always seem to look plain scruffy hehe. I have used pearls and a gorgeous pearl centred flower from Flourish with a Bling.



Flourish with a Bling have a 50% off sale all throughout October, the only items not discounted are the already amazingingly priced value packs, everything else is half off!! I hope you'll check out our website as we have our own unique products and we post worldwide.

Autumn Easel card

Hi to all my lovely followers, can I just say how happy I am that you are interested in my cards, it makes creating them that much more special when you know craftlovers are going to see them rather than make a card and hide it away or give it to one person. I am almost at 200 followers so I'm thinking I might ask my business buddies if I can give a little FWAB candy away when I reach that milestone :). See below the card for a huge special we have on in October.

I have used quite a few FWAB products on my card today - Lee's tree and grass set, Trent's Fence and Taylah's Toadstools. I decided to make this girl quite large, she's from Digi Darla and she's perfect for Autumn cards. Click on any red words to be taken to the store or actual item.

Paper Crafting Journey's new challenge - Use Halloween colours

It's time for a new challenge over at Paper Crafting Journey and this time we'd love to see you use Halloween colours. I love the idea of using Halloween colours rather than a Halloween challenge as it means it doesn't have to be card for Halloween. Having said that, my card is definitely Halloweeny lol!! I have used one of the sponsor's images (Just Some Lines), this little witch isn't very scary but she's definitely cute! I doodled the border and corner cobweb, had to practice on scrap paper first as my doodles don't always work out how I think they will hehe.

I have used a gorgeous flourish (called Jessie flourish) and black leaves (from our Jack vine) at Flourish with a Bling.

Flourish with a Bling have a 50% off sale all throughout October, the only items not discounted are the already amazingingly priced value packs, everything else is half off!! I hope you'll check out our website as we have our own unique products and we post worldwide.

Autumn Birthday girl card

Hi and hope you're having a wonderful weekend and getting crafty on such a special day, World Cardmaking Day! 

I went crazy and created a couple of cards, one of which is this one using a gorgeous image from Milk Coffee Digis. I paper pieced her dress and gave her a little "path" to walk along, hope you like it. This card took me a long time, I had lost my mojo today but I didn't let it stop me, just had to keep rearranging my papers until I was happy.
