All White

Today's card was a request from a friend at work - an anniversary card for her parent's 56th Wedding Anniversary...



I've gone for the white on white look, using various dies and heart shaped pearls. It's fancy but CAS at the same time because of the monotone white.

I'm entering this into the challenges at:

Die Cuttin' Divas #268 - anything goes with dies
Through The Craft Room Door - anything goes 
Crafting From The Heart #114 - anything goes
Crafty Cardmakers #165 - monochrome
Crafty Sentiments - gems or pearls
Our Crafty Corner - anything goes
613 Avenue Create - anything goes

Thanks for visiting

Penguin Love

Penguin cards are very popular where I work - I often get asked to make special cards with this theme. I desperately need some more penguin images as I use this cutie by Blackberry Jelly far too often!


I coloured and fussy cut the images and mounted them on matted die-cut hearts. The black and white polka-dot paper is from my stash and I added a computer generated greeting usen Kristen font. Finally I've added some punched red hearts.

I'm entering this card into the challenges at:

Southern Girls Challenge - anything goes
Crafty Gals Corner #71 - Polka dots or stripes 
Crafting From The Heart #111 - anything goes
Aud Sentiment - anything goes/sentiment
Crafty Addicts - anything goes/sentiment

Mickey Mouse

Today's card is for a little boy who loves Mickey Mouse...





I used a digi image of Micky I found by Googling 'Disney colouring pages' and 'flat' coloured him using pro-markers. I then fussy cut him - that tail was awkward! I've used red and white polka dot patterned paper down the sides of the card and die-cut a balloon which I also coloured yellow. The number is a sticker and the string is black embroidery thread.

I'm entering this into the challenges at:

Aud Sentiments Challenge - animal and a sentiment
