Toodles + Binks DT and Cute Card Thursday 'Lilac' Challenge
The challenge at Cute Card Thursday this week is to use lilac on your card and we have some gorgeous papers and tags from Papercraft Clearance, to give to one randomly chosen winner.
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.
Sorry about the bad photo but it is so grey and gloomy, this is the best I could manage and the glitter doesn't show up at all!Supplies
Stamps: Toodles + Binks
Tools: Pro Markers, Gems, Flowers, Glamour Dust, Snowflake Punch

The background is sticky backed fabric which I love,unfortunately this is my last piece and I don't know who makes it as it was sent in a previous DT kit.

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
Tools: Prismacolors, Sansador, Bind It All, Distress Ink, Gems, Ribbons, Fibres, SU Punch, Fiskars Handpunch, Flowers, PC for Inside 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
Stamps: Magnolia - New Year Collection, Stampin Up- Sentiment
