With Love Bear with flowers (Polkadoodles image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I made this pink background with a stencil, texture paste, distress oxide ink and glitter - mixed all the latter items together to form the paste and this is how it turned out, it's very sparkly in real life. 

The oh-so-cute bear comes from Polkadoodles, he's part of a sweet stamp set.

As you like it - favourite bird or beast - I love bears! They're just so cute in digital character form and easier to colour than birds.

Hi Crafty Friends,

Here's something a little different from me which I created for a magazine publication (Love Cardmaking Australia issue 17). The theme was to create 8 quick and easy cards. I used a gorgeous Maddison flower from Flourish with a Bling, my company that's closing down very soon. This weekend our 10 pack of assorted flowers are only $1.

Kids on a Tyre Swing card (Polkadoodles image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Polkadoodles have a new challenge just started on their blog, I hope you'll join in, you don't have to use one of their products but it'd be lovely if you do. 


Their challenges are always Anything Goes but the DT are given a theme and this time it's Outdoor Fun. I chose this incredibly cute image along with a sky background paper (I used the image in a PNG format so I could add the black & white image to the sky paper before printing then colouring them with my Copics). I change the colour of the Polkadoodles polka dot papers to any colour I choose before printing with my Word editing options. 


For my card I have used the following Polkadoodles products: 

Papers (polka dot and background sky) - Winnie Celebrations 1 - papers 2

Thank you with all my heart card

Hi Crafty Friends,

Here's another card I made for a magazine commission - I was asked to make 2 cards focusing on pearls. This was easy for me as I actually designed this pearl flourish, it's named after my daughter, Chloe. You can find it in 9 colours at Flourish with a Bling - we're closing the business shortly so everything is only $2 each, this set is 2 flourishes plus some extra pearls (see picture below). The magazine this card was in was Love Cardmaking issue 17 (Australia).

A Twirling Ballerina Birthday Girl card (DigiStamp Boutique image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I have a few cards to show again, I love posting a few in a row rather than doing them all separately as it can take time (perhaps I should miss a couple of the challenges I enter hehe).

I used a really cute little ballerina from DigiStamp Boutique. I also got some use out of some old flower punches.

The pearls are from Flourish with a Bling. We've decided to sadly close our business and so for the next few weeks we're having a closing down sale and Every product is just $2 during this time. I hope you'll check out our website as we have our own unique beautiful products and we post worldwide. Please email if you would like rough estimates of shipping, if we can send it as a large letter we will or perhaps get your friends to all buy too and share the postage!
