Milk Coffee Fairy Princess card

Hi Crafty friends, I sliced my finger while crafting today with my craft knife so it's made it almost impossible to type (luckily it was my left index finger and not my right one so I was able to keep cardmaking, there's always a bright side lol). Anyway, so I'll keep it short and sweet as I have 3 cards to post tonight (if I can do them all before bedtime).

Bugaboo and Cinderella love shoes!!

Hi Friends,

I was so happy to see another 2 crafty friends started following me over the weekend, I'm almost at 200! I love sharing my cards on here as it's so nice to receive feedback and it makes it more exciting when creating a card knowing other crafties might like to see it.

I created this card with a Bugaboo image and sentiment, they are hilarious aren't they and I just couldn't resist this funny one! I used some sparkling silver glitter paper and the patterned paper is by Bo Bunny, one of my favourite paper companies.

Black & White rocker card

Hi, here's my last card of the day, a rocker card.

I was wanting to make a black and white card for a couple of challenges but my first card turned out really ordinary so I haven't and won't post it lol. Do you ever do that? If I'm not proud of my creation I don't enjoy sharing it. I usually play around with it until I'm happy but sometimes there's just no saving it.

I am much happier with this one so I'm sharing and entering some comps with it. I have used a Floppy Latte silhouette digi image. I also used part of a rhinestone flourish and flower from Flourish with a Bling.

Bugaboo rocker card


Hi crafty friends,

Today I've created a card with a gorgeous Bugaboo image on it. I have been lucky enough to win 4 lots of $21 Bugaboo vouchers this month and it's only the 12th day!! I can't believe how lucky I have been, perhaps I should buy a lotto ticket hehe. Anyway, I've had this cute little guy for ages and I've finally got around to using him (I coloured him as soon as I got him as he's so adorable, just hadn't "made" him into a card yet).

Here come the Boys have a rocker card challenge so I thought I'd give it a go. I forgot how much I love to make rocker cards, I think I've only done one before but not a boys one. 

Anyone who follows me will know I usually add my cards to a gazillion challenge blogs but Southern Girls have a great "sweets for my sweet" challenge and they only allow 9 challenges :(
they have ADFD and Milk Coffee prizes up for grabs so I really want to enter it :).


I am entering this card into the following challenges:

A Gem of a Challenge - Gems, gems, gems
Clear it out - Smores (using a sponsor's image)
Craft your Passion - Add some doodling
Cutie Pie - Little cuties
Heck of a Challenge - In the frame (sentiment)
Here come the Boys - Rocker cards
Paper Makeup Stamps - Stitching
Pile it on - Show us your tools (dies, embossing powder & heat gun, glitter pen)
Southern Girls - Sweets for my sweet
