Just Magnolia Challenge

How strange it was today.

I was at my local craft shop and Liz who works there came across to talk to me and another woman. The other woman asked if I was Eileen and I said Yes.

She said she was Diane from Pink Sunflower - we follow each other's blogs!! I couldn't believe it and I couldn't believe that she recognised me either - because I hadn't recognised her. It was lovely to actually meet her especially as she lives in the same town as me.

Just in with this one by the skin of my teeth - that's a bit of a silly saying really isn't it because teeth don't have skin??

Here is my card for the Just Magnolia challenge but it has been a rush and I am not sure what I think of it.

In fact I have made a few cards this week that I have liked as I have been going along but when I have finished them I am not so keen on them.

I bought the stamp a couple of years ago (I think) but never really liked colouring it. The Poinsettia was done in a rush and it is from a Marianne Die which I got last week at the Craft Box at Hoyland.

The papers are downloads which I really like and I think I will be using them quite a bit. I have already got two other cards lined up with them.
Have to dash now.

Two for the Price of One

Hi there everyone - what a horrible day it has been. I am sure it must be the wettest summer on record.

We have been collecting the rain through our water butt and used it for the hanging baskets, the greenhouse and the garden as well.

I have one card today which I am going to use for the Just Magnolia Challenge which is to use ribbons and bows, and also for the Basic Grey Challenge which is to use Pink, Brown and Yellow. So here is the card.

The papers I have used are from the Porcelain Pad and of course a Tilda stamp from the Summer Collection. The brown ribbon is from Stampin Up and I have coloured the other ribbon (it was white) but I don't know where it was from. I have used Copic Markers.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you like the card.

luv

Just Magnolia challenge

Back again with a card which is just about in time for tomorrow's Just Magnolia challenge.

I don't really know whether I like it or not please let me know what you think.

Here it is

A while ago I visited a few blogs where people had done cards with blue backing paper which were digital downloads. I really liked them but have not been able to find the paper they used. Anyway I found this blue in my stash and also the blue that I have used on the next card which is for the Mojo Monday challenge.

I really liked this one.

thank you for looking

luv
