The image came from Inger which I've had since 2009 and never used .I've used water colours for a change ,I like the translucent effect. The frame for the sentiment is from Scrap-a-licious ,at the moment these frames are my favourite embellishments.

I'm so cute

These cat earrings were given to me by a friend when I lived in Saudi Arabia. She knew I would never wear them as I am allergic to cheap metals but thought I might use them on a card.

I've used gingham paper which is a favourite of mine .Some handmade flowers and a cute little girl. The rest of my day will be quiet as my lovely husband is away on business so no cooking for me tonight .

This card is for -

Little Princess Ballerina

I don't usually do little girly cards but I thought it might be fun to use some feathers .As always the camera lets me down ,the background paper is grey but it looks more like Kraft. I'm not sure how I can fix the problem ,if you know leave me a message.The image is from Rusty Pickle ,the bodice has been raised on one layer of sticky pads, on the skirt I've used two layers of sticky pads to give some height.

Beary distressing

Happy Friday,the weather here in Tasmania is lovely as Autumn approaches.Warm sunny days with cooler evening evenings,great for sitting on the deck watching the sunset.

I seem to have bear fever this week,this is my third little cutie.I think I must basically be a tidy person (but don't look in my craft room) cos when I see a challenge which involves distressing I'm the one who gets distressed.I find it difficult to get the look just right.Sorry about the lighting on this piccie.

There's Magic in the Air -Distressing- the image also comes from Magic.
