A Sunny Weekend with Leanne - Time to Flourish Floral Cards

Hi everyone!

Well, it's the end of March, and supposedly Autumn, but here in Sydney, Australia the days are still sunny and warm....very, very warm! But I'm sure that will all change very soon, so I'm enjoying the lovely weather while we still have it.

Our Guest Designer Leanne from Leanne Pickens Specialty Cards has been busy creating beautiful cards that are just perfect for this late summer weather - featuring Graphic 45's gorgeous Time to Flourish collection.

These birthday cards feature the August papers...........

I love the use of the chipboard element in this card.....

And here's a lovely any-occasion card using the cardstock die-cut flowers. Just so pretty!

Such beautiful cards to celebrate any lovely occasion.

A big thank you to Leanne!

Friday Cardmaking with Graphic 45's Precious Memories

Happy Friday everyone. The weather here in Sydney, Australia looks like it's FINALLY cooling down a bit. SO happy about that! I don't know about you but when the temperature is constantly mid to high 30C (that's 95F my USA friends!), I find it hard to be bothered about anything!! So rain and dark clouds today are very welcome.

SO - anybody crafting this weekend? Needing some inspiration? Today we are featuring some lovely cards from our Guest Designer Leanne who has been playing with Graphic 45's Precious Memories. (if you live in or around Echuca in Victoria, Australia, you can find Leanne selling her cards at the Rochester Town Market on the fourth Saturday of every month).

Here are some lovely baby cards that Leanne created......

Don't you just love those little baby boy outfits!
And the fussy-cut flowers on the top card are such a sweet way of adding dimension.

Wishing you a beautiful weekend

Happy 1st of March - Time to Flourish Cards with Leanne

Happy 1st of March everyone!

And a big welcome to our newest Guest Designer Leanne from Leanne Pickens Specialty Cards. Leanne has been hard at play.....errrr oops....I mean hard at WORK :) making lovely cards using Graphic 45's Time to Flourish collection. And if you live in or around Echuca in Victoria, Australia, you can find Leanne selling her cards at the Rochester Town Market on the fourth Saturday of every month.

Today Leanne has some great card designs using the Time to Flourish March paper, 6x6" pad and decorative chipboard.........

We just love love LOvE this Good Luck card.......it covers so many occasions, and the colours are just beautiful.......

The chipboard tag gives the card some dimension, but still keeps it flat enough to post in a letter sized envelope. Don't you just love the little coloured twine bow?

We love the decorated envelope. So easy to add an extra special touch when your cards go out in the post.....

St Patrick's Day is a couple of weeks away and here is a fabulous St Pat's card for those celebrating the day.....

 Isn't it fabulous to see papers celebrating St Patrick's Day that aren't Glow-In-The-dark-Green? lol
Makes card-making so much easier!!

Here is the inside of the card.....

And the decorated envelope......

Simple, elegant........we love it!

Inspired? We are!
Here's to a fabulous month filled with the Luck of the Irish!
