Funny Gus Male Birthday card (Bugaboo Stamps image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Here's a funny little card made with an image and sentiment from Bugaboo. How true is this hehe? I'm not sure my hubby would be game to forget my birthday, I know he gets my card at the last minute but he always picks nice ones so I can't complain. We normally have an overnight stay in the city (Melbourne) for my Birthday, that's always my favourite way to celebrate.

Flying mice Birthday card (Di's Digis image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I hope you're all enjoying 2018 so far. 

I have a few cards to add to my blog today. I love creating scalloped circle cards, they make such a sweet shape I think. I've used a gorgeous image from Di's Digis, they could be perfect for Valentine's Day too don't you think? Maybe I'll make a Valentine's Day card with them and make it completely different just for fun. I used some old Liquid Pearls for my blue dots but I wish I had some blue Nuvo drops as I get a much cleaner and uniform look at the end.
