Hello there. I am sharing two cards for my friends Granddaughters.

so thought I would add some cute girlie images.

Images - saturated canary and LOTV

Medium - promarkers

Alphabets and images were fussy cut.

First Communion Bea

A little First Holy Communion card using this gorgeous little Teddy Bea image.

She has been coloured with ProMarkers.

The papers are from Kanban (I think, lost the pad cover).

I punched some little crosses with my woodware punch and added pink gems.

Finished with an organza bow and sentiment from Craftwork Cards.

The little frame is from a set of dies I picked up in The Works which worked perfectly for this little image. Isn't she just the cutest??

If you fancy picking her up then go shop HERE and remember the TEDDY BO club membership for May is now out, please check it out cause it's a real bargain if you love bears!

I have started a CLEAN 9 diet this morning, wish me luck!! I have a wedding to go to at the end of the month and after Easter I am beginning to take on a bit of a chocolate egg shape lol. This diet is from Forever Living and it only lasts for 9 days, more of a detox than a diet I suppose though there is not much food involved!!

I'll keep you posted as to how I get on. Have a great Sunday and here's hoping the weather is nice where you are because it has been raining for a few days here now! April showers??

Oh Christmas tree....

Creative Inspirations Challenge 10

Another Kanban card - the Rat pack! The challenge at CreativeInspirations is BROWN AND BLUE. Used the blue star card, blue music borders and the aged brown Rat Pack topper. Added black lettering and some swirls.

Pinky

Just Christmas and Birthday Cards

This one is for a big Elvis fan, seem to be having a run of Elvis fans! I followed the sketch over at JCandBC using kanban card and toppers. The black is actually silver just didn't show up very well. Stamped the HB circle using a free stamp from mag. Red Letters from an old kit.
