Just Ducky!

We have a thing about ducks in my house, started by my hubby when the kids were young, they have to be yellow and fluffy and are usually called Billy (don't ask me why), it's carried on through to the grandchildren as well. You may have noticed that my watermark has a duck in it, I also have a Links bracelet and one of the charms is a little yellow duck, so when I saw the super cute Quacky images over at Digistamp Boutique I just had to have them and am already planning hubby's birthday card with the one holding the gift.

In the meantime I have coloured up this little cutie called For You Quacky and made quite a simple card, although I did go a bit wild with the ribbon as I am always trying to find different things to do with it and after playing around a bit came up with this idea. I think it looks OK, although if I do it again I think I would use a coloured piece of card rather than white, I'm thinking that a nice Spring green would have worked well with the yellow and orange combo.

One layout, two cards

It won't be long now before the children break up from school for their summer holidays, so with that in mind  I thought it was time to make a card for my grandson to give to his teacher, I used a cute Digistamp Boutique image called Thank You Dan which is part of the Thank you Teacher pack and also contains a girl version of the image and some word art. I coloured him up using my grandsons school uniform colours.

Image - Thank you Dan - Digistamp Boutique - coloured in Photoshop

Papers - abcdefun - LLiella at Sweet Shoppe Designs

Flowers - X-cut Daisy punch

ribbon and gems - Meiflower

By changing one of the papers and using a pre-coloured Sassy Cheryl image I used the same layout to make a birthday card for a young lady

Details as above except for Sassy Cheryl image Lucy and her bear Paddy, which doesn't seem to be available any longer (I bought it quite a while ago).

Meiflower are currently having a Summer Sale with 10% off everything until midnight Friday 21st June, so it's the perfect time to stock up on all your ribbons, gems and diamante embellishments.
