Crafters Cafe September 2025

 Our sponsor at Crafters Cafe this month is Fred She Said, we received some wonderful flowers for our challenge.  I chose Scribbled Flowers, coloured.

I created a journal page to celebrate the start of spring where I live, once printed I fussy cut and separated the leaves from the flowers , so my painted background would show through.  I then used a thin Micron pen and redrew in the stems. Found the quote on the net added some blue pearl swirls and a little bit of doodling ( I do love to doodle)

I've chosen to do a Christmas Card, can

t tell you how much I love using these digitals from Sweet November, I have made so many of the years and each one is unique.  This time I have used the little boy and his dog. The scene through the window is patterned paper as are the curtains and flooring.  Some glitter for snow.

Pearly Sparkles - July, 2025

 The theme is: A shaped Card

I have made a teepee card and decorated it with diecuts from 49 and Market.  Love making these cards, they lay flat for posting, just need a big envelope.  If you click on the photos you will get a clearer photo, not sure if it is my camera or my computer playing around with my photos.
