Easter girl with chick CAS Card (Saturated Canary image)

Hi everyone,

If you'd like to know why I have posted please see my "Friends Forever - All Dressed Up image" post as I don't want to bore you on every post today (I have 6 cards I'll hopefully get posting today!)

I have made a very clean and simple card here, not like me at all but I watched a Youtube video and this is how they made their card, printing and then colouring on the actual card base (make sure it is suitable blending card though). The sweet image is from Saturated Canary and I have created cards with this cutie before so I have added them below (I think I create with her every Easter hehe).

Best Mum Spring Card (Tiddly Inks images)

Hi everyone,

If you'd like to know why I have posted please see my "Friends Forever - All Dressed Up image" post as I don't want to bore you on every post today (I have 6 cards I'll hopefully get posting today!)

Here's a card which no matter how many photos I took, doesn't look nowhere near as sweet as it does in real life, very irritating when that happens isn't it? Anyway, I have added a few digis together to create the scene, the girl, the flowers and the little birdie are all from Tiddly Inks. The Best Mum & flower sentiment is from a CD I had.

Friends Forever CAS Card (All Dressed Up images)

Hi to all my crafty friends and anyone new to my blog,

I'm sure most of you wouldn't have noticed I've been absent in Blogland (so sweet of Carol and Jennifer Scull to check on me) but I'm back with a vengeance now hehe. We went on a beautiful family cruise last week and had such a wonderful relaxing time. We went up through the Great Barrier Reef (in Queensland, Australia) for 7 nights. We had never been on a cruise before but we loved it and are now thinking about a Mediterranean cruise, wouldn't that be lovely! Has anyone been on one? Would love to hear what you thought.

Anyway, so that's why there has been no blogging from me but now I have just created up a storm since I have had a cold for the past week since we got back so no going out, just crafting when I had the energy (must have been a man's cold I had hehe).

I love these 2 girls below, I have created with them once before but made them a similar height this time so that they were more like friends than sisters (they are a set and one is usually shorter than the other). I have kept my card quite clean and simple as I really wanted them to stand out. I have added my previous card which I made for my sister a while back. If you want to purchase these girls you can find them at All Dressed Up.

Hopefully you'll check out my new cards being posted today, as always they are all very different (in colours/papers/style) which means my crafting table needs a good tidy up now hehe. I'll be keeping the rest of my blog posts short and sweet.

My Daughter Chloe's 15th Birthday card (Aurora Wings image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

My last card of the night to post, phew! I created this centre step card for my daughter's 15th Birthday which is about to happen tomorrow. I used a beautiful image from Aurora Wings and coloured it up with my Copics. I used a white paint pen to give her eyes a little "glimmer".

Red & Orange Birthday Girl (Little Miss Muffet image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Here I am again with another card I created today although I coloured the image a couple of weeks ago. I do like to sometimes sit and colour while watching listening to the TV and then other times I love to create cards with the finished images. 

This gorgeous girl is from Little Miss Muffet. I am totally loving their images at the moment and have another coloured up ready to go, she actually matches this one so I was very tempted to add them onto one card. The beautiful papers are from Bo Bunny, my favourite paper creators.
