Found a New Craft Shop in the Macclesfield Area
I saw an advert in the village shop this morning for a crafting demo this weekend at one of our local garden centres, I didn't even know they sold crafting goodies! Anyway I persuaded hubby to take me over after lunch and they are in the process of stocking the shop but they already had some lovely papers and fab Hero Arts stamps (just had to buy 1!!) and Jane, the owner said they are expecting delivery of some Inkadinkadoo stamps before the weekend so I might just have to go and have a look!
They have a Kars demo and Make and Take day this Sunday (April 6th) 10 - 4 and a Marking World Sakura Pens Demo on May 25th. So if you are in the area why not pay them a visit.
It's the Farm Gate Craft Shop at Hollands Nurseries, Gawsworth which is just outside Macclesfield on the A536 Congleton Road.
Tilda + Co Mix n Match
The challenge at Tilda + Co this week is to mix n match 2 Magnolia images to make 1. I have made an ATC using the dog's body and the cat's head. The background of the ATC is coloured with chalks but for some reason the colours don't show up to well. I have also used the ladybird, birds and grass Magnolia stamps and the clouds from Mindy's Zoo by Autumn Leaves which I bought yesterday. The images are colored with Prismacolors and Sansador and I have added Glossy Accents to the cat's nose.
This is such a bad photograph but my camera's playing up again.
Penny Black Pussy Cat
This is a quick card which I made yesterday, I love Penny Black stamps almost as much as Magnolia's. I have stamped this super cute cat and coloured him with Prismacolors and Sansador and then added some glitter for a bit of sparkle. We went to Craft Central this morning in a nearby town, I only found out it was there on Thursday!! This afternoon hubby has offered to take me to Crabapple Crafts, I love going there as they have such lovely papers and things.
I hope you are having a good Saturday and managing to do loads of crafting.
4x4 Friday Kings + Queens
The challenge at 4x4 Friday this week is Kings + Queens. As soon as I saw the challenge I thought of this cute king frog stamp by Magnolia. I have stamped the frog and coloured him with Prismacolors and Sansador. I have added Glossy Accents to his eyes, to make them shiny and raised and 4 little gems to his crown. The circles are cut with Nestabilities dies and the sentiment is by Hero Arts.
Have a good day.
Cute Card Thursday 'People' Challenge
The challenge at Cute Card Thursday this week is 'People', seeing as we had 'All Creatures great and Small' last week. We also have some more fab blog candy to giveaway so why not pop over and check it out.
I have made this card using a super cute image which Donalda kindly sent to me. I have coloured the image with Prismacolors and Sansador and added Glossy Accents and some glitter. The blue card has been embossed with the Cuttlebug and I added a flower and a Dymo greeting.
I've Been Given An Award
Vicki at Jus Cos Cards has given me this award, how cool is that. Thank you Vicki. If you haven't visited her blog before why not pop over and have a look at her fab cards.
I
t's my turn to pass on the award, so I'm giving it to all my friends on the Tilda forum. They all make fabulous cards and are always there to offer help and advice.
Wednesday Stamper Purple Challenge
The challenge at Wednesday Stamper this week is purple. I found this quite hard as I'm not a purple lover but I have made this ATC using Magnolia stamps. The images have been coloured with Prismacolors and Sansador and I added 3 little gems.
Tilda and Friends ATC Challenge
The challenge at Tilda and Friends this week is Blue and Yellow, the colours of the Swedish flag.
There is a fabulous Dala Tilda stamp up for grabs so why not pop over and take a look and join in the fun making ATCs.
Here's my ATC for the challenge. I have stamped Farmer Tilda and the hay bale and coloured them with Prismacolors and Sansador. I have also stamped a cute little mouse from Woodware and added 3 yellow brads.
ArtyGirlz Chocolate Challenge
The challenge at ArtyGirlz this week is chocolate. I have used 1 of my new Magnolia stamps, doesn't Tilda look cute brushing up, I should be outside doing that but it's far too cold! I have coloured the image with Prismacolors and Sansador and used papers by Basic Grey and I added 3 mini brads and a little sentiment. I stamped the sentiment after I had done the colouring, I really must start doing it first because 1 day I'm going to make a complete hash of it and have to start again!!
Tilda + Co Challenge 12
I have based this card on this weeks challenge at Tilda + Co, which is a sketch. I have used the Tyrolean Edwin which I have stamped and then coloured with Prismacolors and Sansador. The ticket stamp is from Autumn Leaves and the papers are from Basic Grey.
Happy Easter
I hope you all have a wonderful Easter and get lots of chocolate!
