I'm a Guest Designer at Crafting by Designs (Jade Dragonne image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I am honored to be a guest designer at Crafting by Designs for their new challenge. It's a lovely girly theme of "Flowers and Pearls". I used a lot of pearls to make this shaker card, some inside, some outside in flourishes. It's winter here in Oz so very difficult to take nice photos sometimes, I took a million shots of this card and this is the best of 'em! The image is a free one on the internet from Jade Dragonne.

Sassy Beach Girl Scenery Card (Jade Dragonne image)

Hi everyone,

Hope you've all had a great week. I have had a busy couple of days creating, lucky me so I have many cards to blog over the next week so if I'm short and sweet it's because I'm so time poor hehe.

I coloured and fussy cut this gorgeous Jade Dragonne image out and ripped some gold glitter paper to make some "sand dunes". The sand is a little higher than I would have liked in the end but it was too late once I realised as the glue had well and truly stuck! I have added a sun from Flourish with a Bling's Up in the Sky set which also comes with clouds and rain/water drops.
