More Magnolia's for my stash!!

Well who can resist a magnolia!!!! Went to the Craft Den last week and Lynne had the fab new Christmas range in and I just kept adding them into my basket!!!!

You should have seen the receipt had to throw that one away!!! lol

Any way this little beauty is one I stamped while at the class but I haven't purchased yet!! Bet they will have sold out now as she's gorgeous and such a beautiful face. Coloured her with my copics.


The papers are Bo-Bunny but I have forgot what range but you can find them here at the craft den. teamed it with a beautiful lilac card and a core-dinations paper distressed the edges and added some lovely green netting with pins.



A side view of the papers as I have left them raised as it gives a beautiful look. The sentiment is my LOTV set which I pre-ordered and it came last week, love them all of them are so beautiful.

My last picture is a pressie to myself!! Well everything is a pressie really. It's my new personal Xmas stamp love it.


The colours of my picture are really bad I need either a new camera or lessons on how to take photo's and a light!!!!

Hope you all have a fab weekend my little baby is coming to stay with me tonight then of to a Christmas Market tomorrow should be a laugh with the pram!!

Entered into Anything Goes Challenge - Let it Snow

Birdhouse from last weeks class at the Craft Den

Couldn't resist this photo of little Summer who came to stay last night she is just so adorable!!!!!

I'm late posting this as I broke my memory card for the camera!!!


This is the birdhouse we made at the Craft Den last week, it was from the template in the Magnolia magazine! Just to let you know the new one is due in this week!!! can't wait for this issue with all the new Xmas images to drool over!!

Also Lynne has put the new Magnolia stamps on the web site so you can take a look and get your orders in!!! Mine went straight back when I received the email think it was 2 minutes!!! lol Magnolia's are here!!!


This gorgeous Basic Grey "Wisteria" paper looks just perfect on the house and the added greenery and flowers perfect!

Added a few butterflies which I have added glamour dust to.

and the perfect little Tilda!!!

It's Ribbons for this weeks theme over at Anything Goes and wow it's week 20!!!!

Week 20 already over at Anything Goes can you believe it!!!!

This week the theme is "Ribbons" so it's easy as we all have far too much ribbon but like me we need it!!!!!

For my card I have used a beautiful purple 12 x 12 card cut down to 6 x 6 and I must say it's just gorgeous and metallic as well, to complement it I have used the new Bo-Bunny "Winter Joy" papers and a matching green dotty swiss all can be found on the Craft Den Web site or you can just give Lynne a ring!

You can see from the picture above that I have made a gate fold but left a space in between so that you can see the design through it, down the edges I have punched holes where I have added my ribbons the green ribbon is beautiful and says "hugs and Kisses" it from Paper Artsy which can be found at the Craft Den along with a lovely purple ribbon to match the papers!

I have also punched a border and added more ribbon from Bo-Bunny behind the image the punch is "Arch" from EK Success found here.

This beautiful Poinsettia is a die which cuts and embosses from Marianne also found at the Craft Den! I must say that it took me a few goes to get the technique right but it's so worth it, just love the finished design.

Finally my Tilda and yes I'm back to my copic's just love the intense colour just goes perfect with the papers. We are all waiting with anticipation for the new delivery at the Craft Den of the new Christmas magnolia stamps it's becoming an obsession and for someone who never liked them well what can I say if you can bet them join them I say!!!! lol

Christmas has come early over at Anything Goes this week "19"

Bit of a cheat really but I wanted to finish it off and thought it was perfect for this weeks challenge over at Anything Goes with "Christmas has come early"

It's the project from last weeks class at the Craft Den!!!

We folded a 12 x 12 sheet of paper into squares then triangles so that we ended up with this folded square!!! When I got home I found out another sheet of the same paper so that I had three in total stuck them all together and I have this fab folding card/book!!! even my DH was impressed!

I have added some beautiful snow flake paper from the First Snow paper pack from Pepper's Christmas party new in at Lynne's and you should see the decoupage that goes with it!!! Cut out my images on my oval nestie and used my distress inks to colour and a little stamp and stickles to add detail to the edges.

Mistletoe & silent night Tilda's also available from Lynne's ever growing range of Magnolias. On the silent night I have used some puff pain on the fur edges and then just added some glamour dust it looks perfect for snow & fur!!!

The middle on is a sentiment that I thought looked perfect with the papers some border strips that I inked with the DI's and added some gems to. A few snowflakes and I think it's perfect!!!

Princess and the Frog!!

When I was a child I used to collect all of these fairytale books and now I get craft with all the beautiful images how cool is that!!!

This was a card I made for my niece Sam I coloured the image with my copics and cut her out with my scalloped circle nestie.


The papers are Prima and are just fabulous and also available at the Craft Den along with all these beautiful Magnolias and the best thing is that Lynne is ordering the old magnolias as well as the new which is just fabby! Just added a sentiment a little bow and stickles as the papers are so beautiful nothing much was needed.


Had a busy weekend cleaning, ironing and crafting as well as having my little Summer over for the night!!!

Been trying to get ahead with my dt work.

Hope everyone has had a great weekend.

Just a quick post today!!

This was a card I made for Crafty Niece Kerry for her birthday!! She is addicted to Magnolias with a passion so thought this little gem would be perfect!!

I used a stripes Bo-Bunny paper from the Persuasion collection and a matching double dot bazzil which I have distressed the edges and inked. I coloured my image with my lovely little copic's and added some glamour dust. To finish off I added some yummy flowers and the foliage was done with my MS branch punch finally the finishing touch a sentiment!!!

Week 18 over at Anything Goes and a new DT member!!!!

We have some exciting news today at Anything Goes not only is it our 18th Challenge but we have a new dt Member!!!!

Kerry has joined us this week so a big welcome Kerry and we can't wait to work with you and share our ideas for the challenges in the future!! xx

Back to this weeks challenge and the theme is "going round in circles" so this is my design a circle easel!!!
I have covered the circles with Bo-Bunny "unforgettable" papers to try to inkeep the circle theme.

The flowers I made with two different sized punched circles and I did the same as before distressing and spraying with water to shape them look like flowers like Lynne showed us at the Craft Den

The image and sentiment are magnolia and coloured in with copics!! Lynne has a fabulous "growing" collection at the Craftden to purchase.

A side view to show the easel and as you can see I have covered all the sides so we have no white bits!!! I distressed the edges and inked with black soot and added silver stickles and bling!! As you can see there are loads of cirles here!!! All products that I have used are available from the Craft Den.

What a busy weekend!

Had a great time at the Craft Den this Saturday none stop crafting, chatting, laughing and of course spending!!!

We spend the day doing Xmas techniques we made in total five cards, a bookmark and a gorgeous bag but will only be showing the craftwork cards today as I have idea's for the others so will show them at a later date.

These are the cards we did with the Craftwork products which Lynne has just taken another delivery of as they are flying!!! The colours are just beautiful but my pictures really don't do them justice!

This card is made with one of the beautiful frames that are already embossed and we used distress inks to highlight the raised bits and to colour the edges. A gorgeous die cut tree and paper candy to finish!! These cards are fab if you need quick cards with no colouring!

The second card is a shaped 8 x 8 and has just one piece of paper to cover a sentiment, two trees and paper candy but it's just enough without going OTT!!

Finally we did the same technique as the first with the distress inks, stickles on the raised bits and a beautiful snowflake covered in glamour dust and held together with a brad, paper candy and a sentiment!

When I arrived home I had a little visitor who stayed the night so we could have quality time together now they don't live here any more and the little mite was up at 5am!!!

So had to wait while she had gone home to do my mountain of ironing before I could craft! But it took me hours (it's the one job I avoid) then I did manage to do some of my DT work which I was really pleased. Hope everyone had a fab weekend.

Fit's perfectly for Magical Monday Challenge

Found this perfect challenge blog "Magical Monday" where this weeks theme is "Under Water" so this is my entry!! There challenge is just perfect as you have to use Faries, Angels, Mermaids, Pixies, Dragons, etc on your card or project so this is one for me!!

It was my Crafty Niece Kerry's birthday and this is the card I made. The papers are Bo-Bunny "Peacock Lane" available from Lynne at The Craft Den I have distressed the edges and inked round them.

The lush Mermaid and the perfect little Seahorse are Magnolia and I have used DI's to colour them and added peacock glitters to the mermaid.

A beautiful spray of flowers, leaves, a feather, pin with added gems and gems on wire look gorgeous in this corner.

Then in this corner I have used glue and flower soft to try to look like seaweed!!! Also added these beautiful jewelery beads.

It's week 17 already and it's "CUTE"

It's week 17 over at Anything goes can you believe that!!!

This week the theme is "CUTE" I decided to use the beautiful Tilda blowing Bubbles!!!

I have layered my card with plain bazzil and dotty bazzil with a princess paper from my stash!!


Coloured the Tilda with copics and used glamour dust on the wings the bubbles I have popped a blob of glossy accents on!!!

A beautiful flourish, flowers, gems, feather and a lovely border with my MS punch!!!
