Sunday Best


Magnolia Vs Stampavie

First a very big thank you to Bev who despite being snowed under with work for Jill at Hobby House's stand at Harrogate and her other many DT duties has been running this challenge for the last 4 weeks, whilst Donna has been sorting out some personal problems, we really appreciate all you have done Sweetie (Mwah).

It is a great Challenge this week a colour theme for you RED, WHITE, BLACK (GREY), I really enjoyed working with these colours and I am sure the rest of the DT felt the same as they have produced some really fabulous creations for your delectation.


This post is scheduled and I am always a bit worried that it will not work, but if you are reading this I must have got it right. Thank you everyone who left such lovely wishes for Mums Birthday, she loved her Memory Book (which isn't quite finished), I will take some photos once I can prize it away from her, she had a great day and received some fabulous cards thank you everyone. I will not have time to come up here today so I will try to visit all you lovely people who have left comments for me tonight.

Wow after that preamble onto this weeks Dt card, I have used this gorgeous Tilda Stamp from the Spring Release and coloured her with Distress Inks and H20's. The papers are Daisy Bucket, I have run a piece of black matt card through the cuttlebug Swirl Folder, I don't know where I got that fabulous stripey ribbon but it seemed just right for this card, have you noticed the fabulous black swirls and MSBP these came from the lovely Jill The Hobby House, she has got lots of the new Punches, Nesties and MSBP on the website and her service is the best so be quick and get your order in. Punched flowers again and I have added a little Ladybug from my stash to the middle of the large flower. The sentiment is from Whiff of Joy



I have coloured the same Tildas face and punched with a round punch she has been mounted on a black fabric flower from Imaginise.






Cute Card Thursday

Family Affair is the theme this week, they would like to see a card for a member of the family what a great idea. There are some fabulous examples from the DT for more details of the challenge just click
Here



I have an Aunt who is extra special to me, we are quite near in age and I would say she is also my very bestest friend, so this card is for her. Another fabulous Melinda Angel from Whiff of Joy she is just so sweet and serene. Distress Inks and H20's have been used again, I cannot make up my mind which is my favourite colouring medium. The lovely K&Co Papers are from a 12x12 double sided pad I also bought from The Hobby House, there are some gorgeous glitter papers in this pad, and the Swirl punch has been used again. I have added some flat back pearls and flowers from stash, the sentiment is computer generated.



The inside is quite plain the same papers have been used and I also had to use the new label nesties again.



Well thats it I would just like to wish you all a great Sunday and as today is official the first day of Spring in the UK I hope that the weather starts to improve for us all.

Thanks for looking
Hugs
