I have used two of the new Toodles + Binks stamps, the beautiful Toodles and Binks Skate and the Figure of 8 verse. I have kept the card simple as the stamp is so pretty and I wanted it to be the 'star' of the card.

Magnolia DT Card + TGIF 'Vintage' Challenge

Here is another Magnolia DT card made using some of their older stamps from the Party + Vacation 08 Collection and I think it also qualifies for the TGIF challenge of'Vintage'. I have used 2 of the tags from my DT kit and covered them with some fab papers and then used the Bind It All to join them. The flowers round the holes were made with a SU punch, I punched the smaller holes first with a Fiskars handpunch and then positioned the SU punch so the hole was in the center (ish!) of the flower. I had great fun making this and am pleased at how it turned out especially since I managed to knock my bottle of Sansador over and it made quite a mess!!Supplies
Stamps: Magnolia Party + Vacation Collection 08 - Tilda With Wine, Bartender Edwin, Wine Bucket, Autumn Leaves - Sentiment

Magnolia DT + Dutch Dare '3 Flowers'

This morning I received another fabulous Magnolia DT kit which had a couple of the New Year Collection stamps and loads of gorgeous embellishments. We were sent tags this time rather than cards so here is my first card/bookmark which also fits the Dutch Dare challenge to use 3 flowers. I had to get my Prismacolors out as unfortunately I don't have a Pro Marker in the right colour, it seemed really odd using them again.

Can you believe this is my 3rd post of the day, it must be something of a record for me just lately!! Just wish the weather would brighten up so I could get a better photo!Supplies

Toodles + Binks + Lily of the Valley 'Teenage' Challenge
Here is another DT card for Toodles + Binks, this time I have used the wonderful Simone stamp (RRP-003). She is just perfect for this weeks Lily of the Valley challenge which is to make a card for a teenager. I have kept the card fairly simple as I love this image and didn't want to 'crowd' it, I just added a few touches of glitter to the ruffles (you can see it much better if you click on the photo). The card is a small slimline, I love this shape and size and it fits some envelopes perfectly which I found at the back of a drawer!
Sorry the photos a bit dull but the weather is really grotty here today - hope its better where you are.
