Just Magnolia get in shape

When i saw that this weeks challenge was to make a shaped card i thought oh god i don't do shapes then i looked at all the design team makes and took inspiration from them and came up with this one. I'm really pleased with it. i made the card blank by drawing around a card wrap i had then again to make a smaller one, you cant really tell on the pic but the dots on the black card are green i used black magic card and sanded it so the green came through.

hope you like it....

Alex's blog candy with a twist

Alex has got the most scrummy candy on offer on her blog. To be in with a chance to win all you have to do is make a card with the fab sketch she has done or make her laugh out loud well i'm useless at telling jokes and the only ones i remember are rude and i dont think thats whats she meant. So i have made a card, Tilda is one that i got aff alex when we met in Blackpool so thought it only fitting to use one of them, she is coloured using prisma's, the paper's i've had for ages and are by k & co, the flowers were cut on my cricut. So what are you waiting for get yourselves over to Alex's blog and have a look at the candy.

sketch saturday

i'm back again this time with the sketch saturday challenge, again another fabby sketch i'm so loving these at the moment. for this one i used my neglected Kerry jo stamps out off all of them i think this is my fav. She is coloured in using pro markers. the flowers again of cricut and cuttlebug.

penny black challenge

I hope everyone out there is ok, I've had a lazy weekend and done nothing really, apart from this morning i went to cheshire oaks to the paper mill shop, because i realised i only had 4 pieces of white card left and how long would that last me, so my hubby took me and my son and when we got there matty my eldest gave me the money to buy some new stamps, i got the Claire curd stampin chic party set and the sentiments set, thanks mat.

it's a sketch this week which i love doing. i used the cat in the tulips stamp,the scalloped edged papers looks like the treading water border punch but it's not i used a pair of fancy scissors and my cropadile, i think it works well. the papers and ribbon are from my stash the flowers were again cut on my cricut then embossed on the cuttlebug.

engagement card

afternoon all, this is a card my boss asked me to make for her niece who has just got engaged, i wanted it to be young and funky because the happy couple are in thier early 20's, anyway i started one didin't like it, then another that ended up in the bin, after a bit of blog hopping i spotted a card on vikki's blog and thought that's it. so here is the result. tilda and edwin are coloured in with pro markers and all the shapes and letters have been cut on my cricut. i took it into work this morning and she loved it said it was the best one i had done for her, i was one happy bunny.
