Welcome Little Treasure

 Well I'm not sure how it got to the end of Mer-May and I haven't done a single mermaid card since March. Oops! So let's fix that.

I had to snag this adorable little merbaby 'Pebble' and her shrimp friends from Sweet November Stamps. I rarely colour backgrounds, but there is some fabulous work in their group that inspired me. 

This image just spoke new baby card to me, so of course with a merbaby it had to be a 'Little Treasure'.

The rocks are from a freebie 'Mermaid Rock' and the shrimp are separate images, so they can be placed anywhere or left off.

Be Brave With Your Life at Tiddly Inks

 Hello Tiddly Peeps,

Have you seen Christy's revamped Gothic Pinups and other images? I had to grab Tank Girl and now I really want to watch the movie again!

Christy's version is somewhat cuter and less crazy than the comic book version, so I am picturing her as an explorer. I've had this paper for a while now but it just hadn't gone with anything yet.

Please come over to our Facebook Group to show off all your Tiddly Makes

When Life Gives You Lemons

 Hello Crafty Peeps, 

The weather has certainly taken a turn since I posted last, so while I warm up with a cup of tea I thought it would be a great time to share a couple of new cards.

I have used images and sentiments from the Graciellie Design set 'Tea for the Soul' to make some cards for gifting. Inside they have a pocket to hold tea bags.

The image lends itself very well to a clean and simple card when used with a sentiment.  I matted onto black and coloured the rest of the card blank to match the image.

Inside is the pocket for tea bags.

I also made a layered card with the image printed smaller and using a different sentiment.

The poem inside this one is slightly different.

Thanks for stopping by today!
