And thanks to My Besties who provided the image, get it here:

 I thought the sentiment looked a bit like those metal jean buttons.  I am trying to use stuff from my "bitz box" and this card used three things.

Petite Paris

At the Crafters Cafe, our theme is Anything Goes this time.   Check it out and get inspired by the design team, here:  crafterscafe

Our sponsor is beccysplace.  Beccy has lots of great images and some freebies too.

This time I chose a little bit of frenchness!  One of these little shops is la patisserie - my favourite place!  The little pastries and cakes are always exquisite and a feast for the eyes.

There is no sentiment because I thought it could be used for many occasions that pop up, and it would be easy to put one on in a hurry if needed.

Thanks to our sponsor Sheepski for the wonderful image, you can get it here:  forget-me-knot-image-no-175

What mum wouldn't love to receive this lovely little bunch of flowers?

When my kids were little they used to raid my garden to find flowers to make into a bunch to give me.  Yes, some of them were bruised and broken.  Yes, sometimes they were weeds. Yes, the colour combos were often quite weird, but oh how I loved that they wanted to give me them.  Sometimes they would have bits of foil wrap or they would be tied up with bits of wool. 

I like the freshness of the blue and white with the touch of greeness.  I distressed the edges of all the card and papers to go with the rustic image.  Dots of GA in the centre of the flowers.

Easter Magic

Recycle Recycle Recycle that's what the design team are doing at the  Crafters Café, you can do it too:
crafterscafeblogchallenge















Thanks Dr Digi for the image of Phyllis the Fairy, get it here:

doctor-digi phyllis-the-festive-fairy



Easter Magic is when hen eggs get magicked into chocolate eggs!  (This pic is really me with my fairy wings on).  I took out the hen eggs and replaced them with chocolate marshmallow eggs, and covered the original labelling on the egg carton with easter paper that had random words glittered.  Tied a wide organza ribbon around the box (to stop prying eyes and sneaky fingers), coloured with Copics (note: ombre dress) and cut out Phyllis (isn't she gorgeous?) and mounted her on the front of the box to do her magic.

Wishful Mimi

There's feminine and feminine, this is my take on the new challenge at the Crafters Café, why don't you pop in and see us here: crafterscafe


This delightful image is courtesy of Eureka and I just love the look on the cat's face (it could be wishful, blissful, smug or is she having a power nap?).  I paperpieced her, and coloured her gorgeous bow.  Her bow and tiny heart have WoS.   I love that floral paper too and haven't got a clue where I got it - I have been hoarding the last piece in my stash for ages, but decided Mimi deserved it.

Eureka has lots of zany images:  mimi-kitty-digital-stamp
