A couple of cards

I had a bit of a crafting session yesterday morning...

 OK for those that know me well you will be in shock - it is indeed that dreaded colour PINK!!!!  But someone did ask me to make a girly pink card for them... so here it is!!  The image is coloured with my pens, and as I haven't much in the way of pink design paper, I have kept the layout quite simple.  I added some puffy clouds, that I doodled round, and a layered flower, and some pearls and ribbon with a charm attached through the knot.  Some of you may need to go for a lie down now!!
I am going to enter this into the Kraftin' Kimmie GDT call, cos as my dad says - "you've got to be in it to win it"!!

My second Christmas card of 2013 - I am on a roll LOL!!!!  I love penguins, and this LOTV one is adorable with his ickle flower.  I coloured him in with my pens, and went for a very CAS layout, simply embossing and scoring some white cardstock and adding the black gingham ribbon and a bow.  Very simples :)
