Warm Birthday Wishes card

You may remember I used this image just before Christmas but she's so adorable I couldn't resist using her completely differently this time. I used some white textured paste for the "snow" and coloured her with copic markers.

Digi Darla Baby Girl card

Hi Crafty friends,

Our darling children have been away with Grandma for a few days so as you can imagine, I have been creating up a storm hehe! It definitely looks like a tornado has gone through my craft room that's for sure lol. Speaking of weather, I hope everyone is safe and warm, sounds like USA and UK are having a tough time at the moment. We're bracing for bushfires here in Oz as it's going to heat up next week, just as we're leaving on a driving holiday so hopefully we don't come across any fires on our journey.

Onto my card and this little baby image is from Digi Darla, unfortunately they're doing a winter themed challenge so this won't go there but there's always others to enter hehe.
