CP. August card swap

This month i was matched up with Cazarol. Now i do think she is very talented. I tried to make one of these cards and i must say, It was a total disaster lol. Cazarol also sent me some fabulous stamped images and flowers. Which i will no doubt have super fun colouring in :O) Thank You so much Cazarol. x

Choccys' spendy elf

Over on MSE theres been alot of talk of my spendy elf... The clever little tyke learnt my card number and was known to put lots of craft stuff into my basket. Then without me knowing pop in the card number and pay for the stuff !!! Well heres a picture that i caught of him hiding up the tree last Christmas...

Note to other parents... Never invite an elf into your house, They cost alot and get up to lots of mischief !!!

CP ATC swap with Rainmac

On this months Crafty Place ATC swap i was partnered with Rainmac. Who sent me not only a beautiful ATC, but a card and some stamped images too :O) Thank you so much Sarah. I love them xx

Gemms' stitched card challenge

Well heres my entry to Gemms' Stitched Card Challenge on MSE. Me and needles do not see eye to eye. So its a faux stitched card. But i used my stitching template and embroidary thread on the button. Not forgetting 'Cross stitch Tilda'

Crafty Place christmas in August

There was a challenge on the Crafty Place to make a Christmas card with no green,red or gold. Well its not called a challenge for nothing !! Heres my blue card :O) With a white tree a silver metal snowflake and white glitter card. Even my sweet noseless ones are coloured in blues and pinks and purples. I thoroughly enjoyed making this card. Even though i didnt think i would do.

MSE baby card challenge

The MSE baby card challenge tied in nicely with the arrival of Elliot, Mellisa new gorgeous baby son. I met Mellisa on the NEC meet. Its hard to believe that that tiny bump has now arrived. Congratulations Mellisa !!! Elliot is truley gorgeous :O)

I bought this Magnolia stamp with this card in mind... I had a few sheets of babyish paper, that i had used to make the door hangers for Jake and Charlie,my cousins twins..... The ribbon was from Furrypig in the July stash swap and baby boy die cut was off Lauren in the June stash swap

Bens Mse kids challenge card

Ben wanted to make a card for the MSE kids challenge. He was very upset as when i let him loose with my glitter pen, it dribbelled when it was drying :O( . But i still think its a fabby card.

More Saturday cards

I also had great fun with more of my 'noseless ones'. Can you see a pattern here with the cards i made ? I think i need to rename Saturday 'magnoliaday' ;O)

Edwin fishing was a stamp that i had seen and it had to come and live here. I searched high and low for little fishes but these were all that i could find. I dont think they look too bad though ?

The tilda standing in flowers was from the new Summer 09 set. The background stamp was a stamp i received in my alota grab bag,it just seemed to go with her. The little resin butterflies were from a back that i bought in a clearance sale.

Chasing Edwin is from the Butterflies set,as is the background.The background was coloured using my watercolour pencil crayons and Edwin was with my Whispers pens,apart from skin tones which are promarkers.

Saturday night cards

Firstly i must appologise for them being a tad dark. I will try and take other photos in the daylight.Of course they are from my most favorite 'noseless ones' Magnolia stamps.

With the haloween card i embossed the haunted house using my cuttlebug folder.

Julys' stash swap

This month i was matched with my dear friend Ruth aka Furrypig.. Oh my i found it really hard to make up a stash parcel to send to a 'friend'. Heres my bundle of fun that Furrypig sent to me.

Thank You so much Ruth, i love it xx

Pocket card off THE-WIFE

This months card swap on the Crafty Place was 'pockets'. I received this beautiful card off Jennie aka THE-WIFE. Its such a stunning card, she has embossed the tags that were in the pockets.

Thankyou Jennie xx
