Mum's the word....

Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful Mums out there -and myself too :op-... Have all a great and relaxing day -whatever that is... My sweet little neighbour H' - who is also turning 11 today, Happy Birthday Poppet- asked me if I could make her mum a card, I let her choose whatever she wanted on it and here is what I came up with... It also actually fits the challenge over at the Spoon Full of Sugar as this week is all about "Gems"... The image is Magnolia -thank you to my lovely friend Sally- but I'm not sure about the wall though -oops-, Papers from Basic Grey and bits and pieces from my stash...

Enjoy the sunshine and have a fantastic day...

Love

Pretty in Pink

Happy Sunday everyone! It's absolutely gorgeous outside but so cold too! brrrrrrrr... Still I won't complain and enjoy the sunshine instead. On another note we are off to Bluewater this afternoon and I'm definitely not one to enjoy shopping! Especially with 3 boys who hate it too... Oh it's going to be fun... NOT! *sigh*

I do have a card for you today!!! And it's for all the lovely people who has left me comments on here. Especially for my previous card. I was watching one of my fave movies last night - A time to kill - while I was making it so it was pretty hard to concentrate. This movie still makes me cry even after seeing it dozens of times... I'm actually very happy with the way the card turned out because I wasn't inspired at all when I sat down and wasn't too sure about the colours either but it has definitely grown on me! And I hope you like it too.

Another monday...

Yes it's another dreaded Monday! :o( ... Hope everyone had a nice week end... But is it me or are they over before you have the time to actually say week end!!!...

Last night I had time to play with the Magnolia images that Kim has kindly sent to me... I have a nephew who loves fishing so this image was very welcome - well any Magnolia images are very welcome, lol... - How cute is that little Edwin!? The papers I used are from Crate paper and I have used some scrap card I had left in my drawer... And to add a little bit of brightness to this card I have attach this cute little sun - also from Magnolia - I know my nephew is going to love it and he's the sort of little boy who keeps everything you send him! Aaaaaaaaaaawww bless... I hope you like it too... Et Voila...

A star!!!

Happy Thursday everyone!!! And what a windy one it is!!! Wouldn't surprise me if it starts raining too... Really cannot wait for spring :o)... The card for today is going to be a Magnolia one and by the way I forgot to mention this new Tilda & Co Challenge Blog . It sounds like fun so what not give it a try if you're a total Magnolia addict!!! I won't have the time this week but I will definitely give it a go!

So voila little Edwin!!! I still don't know who this is going to be for but when I do I will add a chipboard number to it. Between my 3 boys and 4 nephews I'm not short for choice!!! Hope you like it...

A little bit of sunshine

Happy Friday everyone!!! Not as cold today but pretty dull really... So I thought I could post a bit of sunshine today! I finally got to play with the new Magnolia stamps I got for Christmas and I really enjoyed colouring these ones and putting them together! I even managed not to add any ribbon or brads! I just thought it didn't really need any at all. The flower on the bottom corner and the sun are on dimensionals. And apart from the words all stamps are from Magnolia. I just love this Tilda because she's got the same hair do as me!!! I'll definitely send this card to my parents... I miss them so much. Hope you like it... ?

He's a fan of Elvis....

Hope everyone had a nice week end... We went to a shopping center yesterday because the boys wanted to see Santa -I just knew it was going to be suicide! Once we got there we couldn't find Santa's grotto because they decided to move it and put it outside!!! Anyway I was glad to see it wasn't that busy -especially so because it was raining and cold- but then an elf came to ask me if I had a ticket!!! You have to book in advance to see Santa!!! I was fuming and the boys were very disappointed too....

Now let me tell you about Edwin! He comes out straight from the 50's and he is a big fan of Elvis! He's got his Rock'n'roll Lps and is waiting by the juke box that plays "Love me tender"... Lol... Obviously Edwin is from Magnolia and all other stamps on this card - background and jukebox- are from Pink Cat Studio. They are part of the retro 50's plate. How cool is he!?



Stamps : Magnolia, Pink Cat Studio - Patterned Paper : DCWV - Cardstock - Ribbons - Brads.

For this second card Edwin found a girlfriend to Rock'nRoll with!!! Awwwwwwwww... I think they make a really cute couple - and I don't know why I do have this thing for Pink- blue and black for 50's cards! lol ...

Tilda had a house...

There was no cardmaking for me last night as I was far too tired from the previous night and Prison Break was on -now I have to wait until january to see what happens next ... Aaaaaaaargh!!!! Neverless I do have -of course- a couple of cards to share with you! They are part of my Magnolia collection!!!! I really couldn't resist this cute little house -although I kept taking it out of my shopping basket and putting it back in!!! It's so cute... I have added diamond glaze on the windows and on her little red shoes!!!



Stamps : Magnolia - Patterned Paper : Basic Grey - Cardstock - Ribbon - Buttons



Stamp : Magnolia - Patterned Papers : Piggy Tales - Cardstock : Bazzill - Flower- (lots of ) Bards - Ribbon

For those who already visited yesterday, you might have noticed that I have changed a few things on the cards I posted!!! I wasn't very happy with them so I have changed the flower, added some ribbon and re-coloured the background on both too!!! I'm hoping to receive my new Hanna stamps set soon too so it will give you a break from Tilda!!!!

Have a great day,

Love x

So much fun I had!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so tired this morning!!!! Aidan had a terrible night and was up for a couple of hours until 4.00 am! So I hope I'll ype this right as my eyes are really struggling -and that is even with my glasses on!!!!... On a more fun side, I had a good play with my Magnolia stamps and they're so cute! I just love colouring them BIG TIME!!!!

So here are a couple with one of the stamps... I love this stamp as it reminds me of this time of the year wiht all the leaves falling and all that... I will add glitter to her wings -ran out of it last night!!!- and a greeting on the bottom on the right. I've had this papers for ages but never really had the right image for them. This one works really well -I think!

I'm no big fan of the Papermania range but I love the colour combo on this paper and I like the way this card turned out.

KIDS! KIDS! KIDS!!!

Bonjour!!!

And happy Friday!!!! Hope the sun is shining wherever you are! It is down here but for how long, who knows!?!?! It's nice while it lasts though and it makes me happy!

Today's cards ... Kids ones! Aidan has another party to go to in a couple of weeks and I thought I might as well make the card now -the last time I had to go and buy one (shame on me I know!!!). I'm not very happy with it and my excuse is that I made it at 2.00 am this morning aka the bad colouring and embossing!



Stamp : Rubbadubbadoo - Cardstock - Ribbon - Cuttlebug bubbles embossing folder.

More Magnolia now I'm afraid!!! My friend Nathalie asked me to make a card for a little girl -great excuse to use Tilda!!! Here is what I came up with... You can never really go wrong with pink for little girls but I do hope she's no Tomboy!!!! I personalized it and it says inside : you're 5, let's celebrate!



Stamps : Magnolia - Patterned Papers : Piggy Tales - Cardstock : Bazzill - Flower : Bazzill - Brad : Junkitz - Ribbon.

This last one is just a little play I had with Tilda! I wasn't very happy with the colouring but I'm quite happy with the way it turned out. Has anyone noticed yet that I like brown!!!



Stamp : Magnolia - Patterned Paper : got to check this one out!!! - Cardstock - Ribbon - Green House Flower - Brads - Bubble embossing folder (cuttlebug).

So do you like???

The boys are off school today again! They manage to get one of those horrible bugs which is around and I'm probably going to be next after all those kisses and cuddles!

Tilda has cured it!!!!

Hello,

Here are a couple of cards... Hope you like them... Shiny shoes used to make me feel a million dollars when I was little so I have added diamond glaze on her little boots!
