Sweet Pea Stampers and Swirls of Summer xxx

Hope you are all enjoying the start of your weekend. Well I'm running rather late this should have been posted yesterday for "Sweet Pea Stampers" the theme is "Swirls of Summer"

There have been some big changes over on the DT we now have 2 teams of awesome talent!! Its so big we have decided to change to a weekly challenge which will be starting in a few weeks but for now we are all playing along so you really must check out the talent.


I am really please with my colouring on this image she has been in my box for quite a while so thought she should get some air!!!!

The papers are from the new Magnolia range and just perfect!

Added a black pearl swirl and punched butterflies.

Flowers from my stash and lots of stickles.


Hope you manage to check out the talent on our awesome team and joining in this week we have a fab prize on offer as always.

Thanks for popping to see my work I really appreciate it and love your comments. Welcome to my new followers I hope to come over to see your beautiful work this weekend.

I'm off to a colouring class at the Craft Box where the lovely Meesh will be teaching again so hopefully she will get my mojo working again. Also Lynne has the new Molly Blooms in the shop so might have to purchase a few as I have spotted them on her web site and wow they look adorable!!!

Have a great weekend Love Chanelle xxxx

Just loving these Magnolia's.

This is my second card I made for Cindy's birthday and I just adore these colours together and the image well shes beautiful.

After I had coloured the image in with my copics I knew I had the right papers from Bo-Bunny or so I thought!!!

In the end I found some free papers added to black bazzil and a small piece of my Bo-Bunny paper!!!

Cut out the scalloped edges and punched the holes through to thread some black ribbon. I them layered it onto a black circle cut with my circle cutter.

The flowers are my large and medium punch with a craftwork card card candy in the middle and just added punched EK leaves.

Final touch was stickles around the edges, pearls and yummy pink ribbon.

Hope you have all had a great weekend I'm just sat crafting and trying to find my mojo so that I can get on with my DT cards.

Gosh how long has it been!!!!!!

Hi all my lovely blogging friends so sorry I have been AWOL but I'm here now!!

I must admit I'm not really in the crafting mood lately but its my SIL's birthday tomorrow (Kerry's Mum) so must make the effort as she's our biggest fan!!!!

I have used my Magnolia's for the card and I must admit I didn't think I had as many until I stamped them all out this Sunday in my reference book!! Oh my word all my DH kept asking was how many have you got? How much are they each? questions questions questions who needs them!!!

Did a little bit of masking and think it turned out really well then coloured with promarkers and copics.

These papers are so yummy and such vibrant colours. They are nook & pantry from basic grey and I purchased them at the Craft Box.

Love the green bobble ribbon such a perfect match also available from the Craft Box.

I have now realised that I do love these gorgeous stamps and think I need more.

The gate is just so cute and I adore the Magnolia Tree.

Even the flowers are from Magnolia and so perfect with the ladybug sat on the leaf!!


Well that's it for now!! Hope you like my card I am entering it into the following challenges and both are brand new Challenge Blogs so you must take a peek so much talent over on both:

The Official Magnolia Inspirations Challenge Blog - 1st Challenge "Birthday"

Deep Ocean Challenge Blog - 1st Challenge "Anything Goes"

I would also like to welcome my new followers and I hope you will stick with me over my bad patch!! Hopefully will be along to comment as well everything crossed.

That's it for now as I'm not well today have severe acid which is causing lots of coughing and unfortunately makes me sick!!! Was sent home today as I don't think it was appreciated that I had a little accident in reception!!! Anyway spent over two hours at the drop in where I have been given some medication and I also need to go the the hospital tomorrow for some blood tests!! The joy of life its just so full of fun!!!! NOT!!!!

He's eventually let me on to the dashboard!!

My goodness ever felt like giving up well I have all weekend but for some strange reason he's let me on tonight!! I have had to delete some things from the side and the list of blogs that I follow but can still get to them for commenting so he's not won!!!

Just hope I get to come back on tomorrow otherwise he will win!!!!!!!

Will have to have a go at putting back my list of blogs as I don't like not seeing them!!



Just thought I would show you a card I made over the weekend with my goodies that I won from Nicole in Germany view her fab blog here!!!

Just adore these images so had to ink it up straight away.

Everything on my card was candy except the flowers from my stash!!

Don't want to bore you with my problems but may not be posting much over the next few weeks as things are not good at the moment and I just cant get motivated!!! Just didn't want you to think that I had disappeared.

Love as always Chanelle xxxxx

What a nightmare!!!!!!

What a week Mr blogger is playing up for me again and its taken days to get back on line properly!! So I'm sooooooooooo sorrrrry for not commenting on your blogs this week just feel so bad!

Anyway this card is made up of my new found love of colouring and these sweet Magnolias which I just adore so hopefully if I can keep on my blog will show you some more.

These flowers are from my stash and I found these wonderful wings which I have painted with Tim Holts crackle paint.

My magnolia is just beautiful but I'm sorry I don't know whats shes called but doesn't she look fab coloured with my pro markers.



The papers are spotted bazzil in pink & white with a lovely pink swirly paper from Prima. I have also used my Tim Holts flourish in a darker pink bazzil.

I have also stamped a sentiment onto linen ribbon.

Hope you like it!!!

A big hello to my new followers I'm so excited to welcome you to my blog and I promise I will be a lot better with my commenting if Mr Blogger will play!!

Love Chanelle xxxx

Had a fabulous afternoon xxx

Well no card today just two images from this afternoons class over at The Craft Box. Had great company and was extra special as I went with Kerry my niece.

We met Michelle to day from Meesh's house of cards who did a class in Pro Markers was really looking forward to the class as I have been following Michelle for a while and couldn't wait for the class as her colouring is just to die for and well worth a look.

Well it was such an enjoyable class and just love the images that we coloured.

I must say I have learnt some great techniques with the pro markers

My only problem now is that I need more Pro markers!!! lol

Anyway I'm off now to colour and to look at your beautiful post and hopefully if Mr Blogger is playing leave some love!!!

Boy do I hate sewing!!

Just a quick post as we are having a new boiler fitted today!! Boy when things start to go wrong do they go wrong!!!!

Anyway I managed to get to my craft class this week at the Craft Box which was very therapeutic as always!!!! Not!! we did sewing well it took ages so I had to colour my image when I got back home so here she is.

This beautiful Tilda was from the valentine collection this year and she is just Divine! (I must admit to already having her but still to ink her up!!) lol

The papers I'm sorry I didn't ask but they go so well with the plain green card.
Added some stickles to the flowers and as you can see they are still wet. Lots of beautiful green gems and some MS branch and Prima leaves around the flowers.

Got to go now as I'm doing my DT work and making tea for the gas fitter!!!

Sorry forgot to add a big welcome to my new followers and thank you to everyone for your beautiful comments they really are such a confidence boost!!

Shower of Flowers xx

Well a big sorry to all my followers and blog friends and thank you for all your great comments about help with my virus I really appreciated all of them and now I'm hopefully back on line and can get back to visiting all your lovely blogs and leave comments to you all!!!

Here is this weeks challenge over at Sweet Pea Stamps and the theme is "Shower of Flowers" so out came the scissors and off I went.

The image is my favourite and was the first sweet pea stamp I ever purchased and the lovely Amy has made it into decoupage and pyramage images which are a must!! Also she has loads of new goodies on The Crafty Purple Frog site which you can find here!! Just hope you have never ending pockets because they are all so lush and must haves!!!

Well I know I mentioned the image but just look at these flowers and each one is so lovingly cut out they are from Basic Grey and I think they are called "infuse" but not sure.

The image is "Red Hearts" and boy I just love her as soon as Amy sent me it I knew she was the one for me!!!

Sorry the background is just plain black bazzil with the gorgeous flowers flowing over it with the yummy image.

Hope you like her as much as me and please pop over to DT teams blogs are they are as awesome as ever and some fab prizes up for grabs.

Having a nightmare!!!!!!!!!

I can't tell you how frustrated I am at the moment!! My computer keeps telling me I have a virus and no matter what we do we can't get rid of it. Every scan we do says that there is nothing there but still it lingers!!

Any way this is my new Tatty Button stamp which I have had a few weeks and just inked this weekend.

I have coloured her with my pro markers and edges in distress inks.

The flowers are are my new Marianne die edged with stickles.

I have added EK success punched foliage, butterfly's and a craftwork cards sentiment.

The beautiful papers are "Tickled Pink" from my minds eye.

I am sorry for not doing much commenting at the moment but I keep trying but its taking for ever with the stupid virus alert!! Will be taking it to the computer shop tomorrow to see what they can do!!

A big welcome to my new followers and thanks again for the lovely comments you leave.

Hope everyone has had a lovely weekend the weather in Sheffield has been lovely but a little windy!!!!
