Mermaid Kisses and Starfish Wishes

Isn't that a gorgeous sentiment?  I love fantasy images and the jewel tones that are generally associated with fantasy art.  The new BonBon Belles CD from Polka Doodles is packed full of fairy characters all with the without wings - I'm in digi heaven!!

Um, I think this one goes down as proof that I don;t do WOW cards well at all!  I had fun playing with the new XCut embossing folders but somehow it just doesn't seem to "gel".  Oh well, live and learn, I'm sure I'll get better at them if I just keep persevering.

Saturated Canary Not-So-Christmas Dress

This image is included on the Digital Crafting Essentials vol 1 which is mostly Christmas crafts.  The image is called Christmas Dress but whilst it would make a lovely Christmas card there's isn't actually anything Christmasy about it.  So here it is featured on a thank you card.
