Big Adventure

I've had this image for ages, and it keeps getting squashed in the little bag I keep my "ready-to-go" images in, so I thought I'd use it. I was going to use it as a birthday card, but then found the perfect sentiment!

Image: "They Grow So Fast" by Mo's Digital Pencil
Sentiment: "If life were easy" by Create with TLC

A card from Foxy!

This little digi image from Sliekje looks just like my little dog!! He just looks so funny with the rose in his mouth (like when he brings me toys to play with).

I've used my Promarkers to colour him in, and the rose paper is from a Forever Friends decoupage set! The rub-on sentiment is one I've had in the drawer for AGES but never actually used, as are the little gems (I normally use round ones).

Edward is back....!

I just had to get "Flirty Edward" from The Greeting Farm, as a Twilight fan!

I saw the Farm Fresh Friday challenge, and whilst sorting out some old post, I found an envelope with a brilliant black & white pattern on the inside, that I thought I could use (and as it happened to be an A4 envelope I've got loads left to use again)!

The spotty paper was a scrap  from the pile on the desk. The fantastic word art sentiment is from Create with TLC - Paulette has loads of great wordart so go and have a look! I then finished off by distressing the edges with a plain black ink pad!

Easter Dragon??

Ok, so I know it's traditional to have an Easter Bunny, but I've used this Dustin Pike image, and he seems quite at home as a substitute!! I made this little card for my godson, as he's about the right age for dragons!!

I think the spotted paper is from Daisy & Dandelion (but can't quite remember) and the green paper was free with a magazine. I've cut out some egg shapes (as best as I could), and have decorated them with glitter flocking powder. Felt like trying something a bit different, although not sure it's totally worked!!

Mother's Day - Good Enough to Eat!!

Here's the card I've made my Mum (seems most cards have been for her recently - Christmas, Birthday, Valentine's Day...)



The image is Wendy's "Cupcake Tilly" from Digital Doodling available here. I've used Whispers to colour her in. I've used Cosmic Shimmers to make a background on the scalloped topper (although can't see it shimmer in the photo) and embellished with gems!
The paper is a free download from Cuddly Buddly - love the colours! Flowers & ribbon from Papermania Sunshine Capsule Collection, with glitter brads & buttons. The sentiment is from an old Let's Make Cards pack.

First wordbook card!

Here is my first attempt at a word book using the Funky Hand CD-ROM. This card was made for my Mum (from my Dad):





Other than the Funky Hand prints, I have used some die-cuts from Let's Make Cards, and some heart, flower, pearl & gem embellishments. I have bound the "book" using two eyelets and ribbon. The cupcake image is from the DoCrafts Creativity CD-ROM.

This is a cute freebie image from My Grafico, with a sentiment freebie from Squigglefly. Then just a scalloped square with the Bigshot, some DST with glitter, Glitterations corners and some gems!
