Magnolia-Licious Tuesday Challenge- Anything Goes

True Love & A Happy Birthday

Hello everyone how are you all? I am sorry I've been MIA again these headaches are kinda ruling my life at the minute, so screen use has been a no-no but I thought I would try do a quick post with a card I made a few weeks ago. I'm at the opticians tomorrow for an eye test, so will see if that is the cause.

Anyhoo's here is a card I made weeks ago with a LOTV stamp, the image had been coloured up beginning of the year I think it was.

I love this image, its so sweet. It is called 'Close Your Eyes' by LOTV of course. I went to the website to get the link for this stamp..............OMW have you seen the new stamps that are getting released.......oohhh I'm swooning.................

The gorgeous 'Tulle Trim' & 'Lace' are from Live & Love Crafts.

The papers are from 2 Melissa Frances pads, the strip along the top I cut from one pad & fussy cut the scallops & layered it up. The added a strip of Pearls which were from WOC I think. 

The flowers are a mixture of Prima & the little pearls on the lace are also Prima.

I coloured the image with Distress Ink markers. The 'sentiment tag' is from LOTV.

Well thats it from me I will try to catch up with you as soon as I can. 

Its my youngest son Jake's birthday today he is 18............I wish I could freeze moments in time or go back to when he was little, it goes way too fast. My baby is now officially a young man, although he will always be my baby, all my kiddo's will ;0)

Happy Birthday Jake son!!!!!!

Thanks for stopping by, big hugs to you all mmwah.

A Random Fan - Anything Goes

You're Wonderful

Hello all you lovely peeps around the world. Hope you are all having a lovely Easter. We had a little easter egg hunt for Payton yesterday what her mummmy & daddy did, she was sooooooo cute looking for the eggs in her garden to put in her basket ;0)

Anyway I'm here with a card that I made months ago but only the base of the card if you know what I mean. Sometimes I see papers when I'm looking & think oooh I could do that............so rather than put them on my desk I make the base of the card & then it goes in my drawer.............where I usually forget about it lol. Well its better than having loads of papers on my desk which would annoy the pants off me ;0)

The image however I only added 2 weeks ago...........yeah its still took me til now to blog it, sorry lol, its not the only one either...oops

Yes I've done an Hannah Lynn card, I actually have a few older ones coloured up & one from the last release but they still havn't made it to cards yet. 

The papers are Prima 'Madeline' I think they are called, I would go look but I have a doggy asleep on my lap lol..........it would be cruel to disturb her ;0) I used the 6x6 & the A4 pads for this. The edgeing is my MS PATP set. I finally got most of my punches up on rails last week woo hooo.........yeah the craft room took back stage while we are getting on with the bungalow & garden...........though thats not started quite yet lol.

Ok we have a mixture of Prima & WOC flowers, the die under the smaller flowers is Marianne 'Branch Forest'. The Rose Cabochon & the silver butterfly are from Crafts & Me, I also added white gesso to the butterfly.

The centre large flower I sprayed to soften the colour & to totally soften the bright yellowy/orange in the middle.

The gorgeous image is a new digi from Crafts & Me called 'Expression Study 2' by Hannah Lynn & I coloured her with Copics, I will add the colours at the bottom when I find my little book. The 2 laces are from my stash. The sentiment 'You're Wonderful' is from LOTV 'Handwritten Phrases'.

I'm sorry I've been quiet the last few days I've been suffering with lots of headaches & migraines since Thursday night so I've been keeping off the laptop, although I tried go on Pinterest the other day..........half an hour later I was lying in bed with a towel over my head. Hopefully I will manage some crafting tonight.

Well I'm off as I'm going B&Q while they have the offer on Buy One Get One Half Price on interior doors, I want one for my kitchen & one for my living room, they are half glass ones so will allow more light everywhere.

Okie dokie I'm going now, hope you all have a wonderful Bank Hol monday, take care mmwah.

Thanks for stopping by it really means a lot lovelies

The card for the border & all the dies is Co-ordinations black magic which I've had forever & used the coloured side. The border I have sanded on the higher parts of the embossing, it looks fab IRL, subtle though as well.

I also added gesso here & there as well to help with the distressed look ;0) Seam Binding is from my stash.

The cute gorgeous image are the new Rachelle Anne Miller stamps, this one is called 'Close Knit Friends' it comes with a few sentiments as well so you can choose which one to use. I coloured the image with Distress Ink Markers.

I even managed to add a bit of bling to this distressed creation, well every girl deserves her bling now ;0)

Anyhoo's onto the job in hand. Its time for a brand new challenge over at Crafty Little Fairies & this week its the Blue Fairies with the theme of..............

UP, UP & AWAY

I have a card today using one of my older un-inked stamps...........I'm determined to get through them............eventually lol.

Yes its even a male card, it seems the more you do the easier they get lol. I've had this stamp since it was released & not inked it up, which is a shame as I lurve LOTV images especially their male images!!

The burlap is from my stash & the twill ribbon is cream but I coloured it with my BG09 Copic & stitched it to the burlap, ran 2 rows of stitches along it.

The fabulous image is 'Aeroplane' of course by LOTV. I have coloured it with copics, I will add the colours shortly as this is a scheduled post whilst sitting in bed lol.

The yummy papers are MME Lost & Found 'Portobello Road', I've inked the edges with walnut & machine stitched then layered onto teal card from my stash. Button, string & letter stickers are from my stash.

Well thats it from me this is a scheduled post, I have someone coming to fit a towbar to our van first thing this morning.

Please pop on over to see my fabulous teamies creations.

Lotsa squishy hugs to all mmwah

Happy 10th Birthday LOTV

Good morning my lovelies & it is such a beautiful morning up here by the sea. I've got one lot of washing pegged out & the bedding in the washer to be pegged out once its done.

Sorry I've been MIA, been rather busy. I've had cards made but then its took me til now to take pics lol.

The card I'm showing today I made specifically for LOTV & also their monthly challenge as they are celebrating 10 years...........

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOTV, here's to another 10 years.

Now I brought the Annabel stamps as soon as they were released, within seconds actually lol & they arrived the next day & I even colour one up straight away. Sadly it took a while for her to get on a card, then when I saw the new challenge I made the card but then kept forgetting to take pics & blog it  :0( I know I'm not right in the head lol.

I made the card into my favourite style, shabby chic. The pad is an older Prima pad called 'Pixie Glen' I absolutely lurve the lush soft colours in this pad. I have machine stitched the papers & added gesso here & there.

The flowers are all WOC. I've added 2 layers of lace, the bottom pale pink one is from my stash & top one is 'Estee' 40mm from LLC, need more of this lace its lush. The metal corner is from my stash & I painted it with white gesso.

The clip is Tim Holtz & I added some scrap lace through the hole & added white gesso. The tag & postage thingies are from the Prima pad, I gave them a distressing & added gesso. The numbers are from my stash.

The stamp is called 'Annabel Pedal Power' I love these so much. I coloured the image with copics but kept it light so it went with the card, kept shading minimal as well.

The 'Sentiment Tags' are also LOTV. As always the inside is decorated to compliment the front. The leaves under the flowers are Magnolia 'Sprawling Ferns'.

I think that is it.

Its also Ribbon Girl LOTV challenge this week so I'm also putting my card there.

Thank you so much for stopping by, big hugs to you all.

Tatty bye & take care
