My brother-in-law is the Elf haha! (Jellypark image)

I have had for years some store-bought Christmas cards that you slot a photo of your family into. I thought it was about time I used these as they are a great idea for something different. But apparently my new brother-in-law was asking where the homemade card was and wasn't pleased with my photo card, even turned it around so our photo was facing the wall haha! So I have made him his very own Christmas card and will be giving it to him tonight, I hope this shuts him up hehe! The image was from Jellypark who are no longer around.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

A Gem of a Challenge - anything Christmas goes 

Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper - anything goes with patterned paper 

Creatalicious - anything goes with optional twist: Christmas

Birthday Skater Boy (Jellypark image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I have a couple of boy cards to show but I have a few girly ones coming shortly too. I do like to occasionally create boys cards especially as I have an 11 year old son who sometimes needs cards for his friends. 

Unfortunately I got this from the online digi store Jellypark who are no longer around, very sad as they had some lovely images and this is one I have used before (photos below). I don't look at my previous cards when using the same image and I like to see how different they look when I add it to my post like this but for the first time ever it is very similar with the same cloud and fence! The cloud and fence are from my company, Flourish with a Bling.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

A Gem of a Challenge - Boys Birthday

The Crafty Addicts - Anything goes/cards for a male

Kraftin' Kimmie's Blog - Card for a guy

Jellypark Skater boy card

Hi everyone,

I created a boy's card today with an Autumn and Back to school vibe. The skater boy is one from Jellypark and you can't win him, he needs to be bought as 100% of the proceeds go to a charity called The Sick Children's Trust, he's only 1.25 pounds so I couldn't resist this little guy, he's so cute!

The fence, pearls, cloud and raindrops are all from Flourish with a Bling. The papers are from Echo Park, I think it's called "About a Boy" range.

Flourish with a Bling are a retail store as well as wholesale so you can buy direct from us now! We have some fantastic themed packs (eg. Bling, vintage, fairy garden, boys, princess etc) at amazing prices, you can check them all out by clicking here. If you mention my blog (Lucy) when ordering we will send you a bonus Jasmine laser flourish!

Guest designer for Jellypark Friends - Pink card

Hi there,

I am a guest designer at Jellypark Friends (http://jellyparkchallenges.blogspot.co.uk/) this week, they have such cute stamps! I have made this card using their gorgeous digi stamp Princess for the day (http://www.jellypark.co.uk/ourshop/prod_1629126-084-princess-for-the-day-digital-stamp.html). I paper pieced her - printed the little girl twice so I could fussy cut her hair/crown and dress from one print-out and add it to the other so she looked more 3D-like.

I have used Flourish with a Bling pearls and leaves for this card, please visit www.flourishwithabling.com.au for more information or to find a stockist.
