Treat Yourself!

Hello Crafty Peeps,

It's been a busy time this month and I haven't given myself much time for crafting apart from design team projects. I knew I wanted to make something with this adorable image from Sweet November Stamps as soon as I saw it though, so while the kids were amusing themselves I got on with colouring. 

'Sale-abration Fairwee' is excited to be going on a shopping spree for her friends and maybe a little something for herself too! Her background is of twinkling stars and rainbow colours as she's shopping in a magical land.

She is so happy, that she's leaving a rainbow trail behind her as she flies.

She has her magic gold Weesa card at the ready!

The tag holds a little surprise...

Thanks for stopping by today.

I wish you a fantastic festive season.

Dare To Dream at Tiddly Inks

 Hello Tiddly Peeps,

Well the weather outside is frightful, so I'm inside with a hot drink and crafting time! Christy gave the team some brand new images to play with so I am showcasing "Dare To Dream" today. Check out the other new images while your'e over at the Etsy store.

I added a dreamy galaxy sky background to create a CAS card, as I wanted to let the image be the star without lots of embellishments.

Thanks for stopping by today.
