this week Stampin for the weekend this week has a fab challenge by Vikki she wants us to make a Christmas goodie box with the added challenge of distressing. I made a mini pizza box using a lovey Tilda image i got off a friend at the weekend i tryed my best with the distressing i think you can just about see the edges of the cardstock(will try harder next time). I also followed a sketch for the Sunday Sketch and Stamp challenge so I'm entering it for that challenge as well.

I am hoping to go to Alton Towers on Friday for the scarefest, we go every year the park is open till 9 at night and to do all the big rides in the dark is just amazing so hopefully Kev can get one day off this week(fingers crossed).

My card today is for SFTW following a sketch and i found a new challenge blog called Totally Gorjuss as the names says its for all things gorjuss the first challenge it is pink. the guardian angel image is my fave gorjuss girl i just adore her. Good luck to all the girls over there I'm sure it will be hugely popular.

stampin for the weekend

Morning all, it's a lovely day here, the sun is out and its really warm. Makes a nice change its a pity I've got to go to work this afternoon, oh well needs must( i have my eye on some new stamps i want, gotta pay for them some how).

When i saw the sketch on Stampin for the weekend i panicked at first then took a minute or two and decided to make a wedding card for a friend in work. i used in my minds eye wild asparagus papers which i love, never coloured the images in too much i don't think they needed it, i used pro markers for the bits i did colour. I'll be back later on with my just magnolia card for this week.

thanks for looking and have a great day whatever your up to.

Just Magnolia and stampin up for the weekend

Well firstly i must say i cant believe it's been this long since i posted on my blog, promise to self don't leave it so long again, i have still been craftin and taking part in all the challenges it's just my Internet connection has been pants but it's all sorted now.

So onto my card for this weeks just magnolia and stampin for the weekend again i have combined them both, JM had a sketch by Mina which is a lovely one, she is so talented, SFW was a trio of colours being orange, Teal and Pink. I struggled a bit with the colours but i think it's come together nicely, i'm pleased with the end card.

The papers are in my minds eye, the flowers, pins and lace are from our local market and tilda has been coloured using prisma's

Stamping for the weekend and just magnolia

I'm still alive. If anyone was wondering where I've been, I've been on my hols.

We went to Flamingo land in Yorkshire and stayed in a caravan for a week, we had a brilliant time i just love it there and cant wait to go back next year.

On to the card i have made this morning, it's another double header for stampin for the weekend and just magnolia challenges.

SFTW was to make a project in the theme of days gone by (vintage) and JM was the theme of friends, tilda was coloured using a mix of pro markers and prisma's the backing paper is my minds eye.

Thanks for looking and have a great week i'm back at work tomorrow after 2 weeks off, not looking forward to it.

Just Magnolia and stampin up for the weekend

Afternoon all, the weather here is awful it's not stopped rainin all day so i stayed in and made some cards. This weeks magnolia challenge is to use buttons on your project i combined it again with SFTW. i must say i struggled a bit with this one SFTW have gone back to the 70's with some song titles

Tangled up in Blue – Bob Dylan
Three Times a Lady – The Commodores
Seasons in the Sun – Terry Jacks

I went with Tangled up in blue-Bob Dylan. Tilda is from the summer kit and she is just so cute i coloured her with prismas, the background paper is from the sweet nothings pack and the flowery paper was a freebie from Nicky.

thanks for looking. Shell x

Mina's Sketch and Strawberries dipped in chocolate

This week over at the just magnolia blog there is a fabulous sketch by the uber talented Mina, and the stampin for the weekend blog the theme is strawberries dipped in chocolate yum yum...... i have used a tilda image that i think is just one of the cutest I've seen she was coloured with my prisma pencils( I'm so loving these more and more every time i use them)..

I have been combining these two challenges for the past few weeks and i just know that one week they are both going to have sketch's to follow what will i do then. I'm going to see what other challenges i can find I'm off work for the next 2 days and intend to spend the time in my craft room.

thanks for looking and any comments you leave i love reading them all.

Just Magnolia and stampin up for the weekend

I've combined these two challenges again, the just magnolia blog wanted to see charms on your project and stampin for the weekend gave us two fab sketch's to choose from. i went with the second sketch by Donna. Tilda was coloured with my prisma's, the papers i used are from the Claire curd range, the little flowers i made myself i don't think they look too bad for a first attempt. and believe it or not i couldn't find a single white button in my box, feel a shirt destroying session coming on.

see you all soon shell x

just magnolia sketch and stampin for the weekend wallet card.

The just magnolia challenge this week is a sketch and I've combined it with the stampin for the weekend challenge which is to make a wallet card. I got myself a small sewing machine from netto for 24.99 a friend told me about them cause i said i was after one and i got the last one they had so was over the moon, think i need more practice though. the papers are papermania sweet nothings and i used coredinations card stock, all the flowers are from my stash. i think this tilda is so cute but i accidental cut off her wings but she still looks cute. coloured with pro markers.

The weather here today is lovely just going to grab my book and get in the garden for a bit

If anyone would like to do a wallet card and image swap just get in touch it just seems a shame to leave this lying on my shelf....

thanks for looking Shell xx
