With Love - elephant calf DL card using Pollyanna Pickering artwork -  Day 236 of my 366 day challenge Hi Craft addicts ! I love this image of an elephant calf that Pollyanna Pickering painted and so have used a small tag shape version for this DL card... To make the card - I decided to use the small tag style topper from "Walk in the Wild" card making kit from Pollyanna Pickering (Creative Crafting World).

Ladybird series of cards (my own design) - Day 47 of my 366 day challenge   Hi Craft Addicts! For Day 47 of my 366 Day challenge, I am looking at a series of cards I made using a Ladybird design I created a few years ago.

I will also be producing kits so you can make your own projects - they will include toppers, sentiments and much more... .
