"PURR-FECTLY CHARMING".

(It's at the end of my post)

 

Here's what you need to do:

Gift Bags with Tags and a Lollipop card:
One for a lady...


And one for a gent ...

A small gift box made from a craft matchbox:

An altered note book
I used washi tape to cover the notebook and washi for the background on the image frame:

***

A Notecard
I love this sushi eating cat - look at her darling face :)
Embossing folder with Versamark, then gold embossing powder for background:


***

Another Notecard ...
I think this might be my favourite image on this sheet. It's on a 3D embossed background which has gold wax applied to pick up the texture.

... and lastly
Two digital scrapbook pages:

Being a Princess Isn't Easy
 Here I used the Valentine Colours ATC for the background background.

and

King for a Day

This time I used the Dreamscapes ATC set for the background.
