Not Just for Christmas

There's nothing like being able to repurpose a crafty item for an occasion other than the one it was intended for!  This image is a new one from Mo's Digital Pencil and she's called Warm Christmas and I think intended for those folk who don't live in colder climes and maybe spend Christmas on the beach!  But I've used her here for best matey's birthday card as she works equally well as a spring/summer fairy!! 

And another - the die cut flowers (the smaller petals) are actually a new die set from just before Christmas from Marianne Designs and they're actually a small poinsettia set but I think they reflect the flower kisses that our girl is blowing!!  Full list of Marianne goodness below, including this fabulous new border die set!

The Big Guy's Tractor and Farmyard Background merger!

This the card I made for my husband's birthday the other week using two of Mo's Digital Pencil images merged together  Big Guy's Tractor and Farmyard Background- a match made in heaven!  

We have a small meadow in our new Lake District home that came complete with a sit-on mower (red) and hence my card and colour choices!  

We also have lambs/sheep year round in the field next to us hence my lamb die cut!  There's actually rather a mean looking ram in there at the minute with about a dozen ewes (lucky boy!!). My papers are from a Recollections 12x12 pad and then I've used loads of new Marianne Dies as below:
