She also has a Buy It Now called Love2Type, and for the bargain price of £1.50 you receive 11...yes 11 images, some coloured, some uncoloured and some with text and some without. Also in her Folksy store you car buy a postcard of the image I have used, which she will personalise...for me she left it blank as I wanted to make quite a few, so I added some MM mini alphas to mine, and created the rest of the sentiment in MS Word using a Love Letters (typewriter) font.

Something a little different...

Here is a card I made quickly last night. I was playing with some seam binding available HERE and HERE from Creative Treasures and decided to make some flowers with it. This card is different for me as although I stamped the sentiment....that was all the stamping I did. The birdcage is a Tim Holtz Alterations die and I have added some more seam binding to tie a bow, some Prima Raja Centres available HERE. I also added some pearl bling and the sentiment is by My Favorite Things Die-namics stamp & die set available HERE from Dies to Die For (if they are out of stock just email Tracy and she will add them to her next order)....oooh and the backing paper is Bo Bunny "Crush".

Thanks for looking at something a little different...
