Long time without blogging

Well seem to of been so busy not had time to blog or craft. I'm hoping to allow myself time this week to create a card or two.
I have just joined a Yahoo group where i can share my love for magnolia stamps, so need to get creating. Thanks for reading.

such a lot has happened

Its ages since i last wrote on here. And after a lot of thought tears and smiles I have decided to stand down as a stampin up demonstrator and just enjoy my hours crafting with various items.
I would like to thank all who have supportted my blog and hope to add more shortly.

Inspirin Inkin Challenge

Fancied a bit of inspiration so thought I would have a got at this fortnights inkin challenge.
There is a sketch to copy and I also tried to use al retiring colours.

My card uses the following items:
Card : whisper white, really rust, summer sun and ruby red
Inks summer sun,ruby red, really rust
Stamps Autumn splendour, sab Happy moments and the background stamp Bella toile
I am really pleased with the effect i have got and think I will probably be using the autumn set rather a lot.

Flight of butterfly workshop

Held a workshop last weekend for seven crafting ladies. We made an easel card and a small pizza style box, which held four tealight candles.
The colours we used were:
Inks So saffron, rose red, real red,ruby red
Stamps flight of butterfly and mini tags
Card and dsp in colours to match inks and dsp was from new mini catalogue Sweet pea paper
Accessories, scallop circle punch , mini tag punch and border eyelet punch
