Penny Black Saturday Challenge ~No Pink~

This is my entry for The Penny Black Saturday Challenge where the theme this week is "No Pink".

This is a stamp that I picked up in a bargain bin a couple of months ago..oh no, I hope I'm allowed the mice skin and cheeks...oops!

The papers are Making Memories as is the clip, the flowers are Prima and so are the leaves, the brads are Papermania as are the Adhesive Gems. The sentiment was printed on the computer and then cut with Nestabilities.

Tilda & Co ~*~ 23 ~*~ Swirls

Challenge 23 SWIRLS

An easy one for you all this week , for those that are still getting over the shock from last weeks challenge!I heard you all shouting at me when you realised it was no cards!Right this week is swirls, You can do what you like aslong as it has swirls involved somehow.

Of course you work must involve atleast 1 Magnolia StampAlso please note you can use other stamps on this blog,But there must be a Magnolia Stamp on there also somewhere.Hope that clears that little question up for some people.

The stars on my card are Sizzix die cuts - I doodled dotty swirls on one, my quartered flowers have been stamped with Magnolia swirls, I added some wire swirls - fastened with brads.

Tilda & co challenge ~13~ Mix and Match

Firstly, I'd like to say a huge thank you to the people running this blog challenge for choosing my week 12 entry. I'm over the moon!

This weeks challenge is all about Mix & Match
"Mix & Match 2 Magnolia Stamp images together to make 1 Image,Now this could be a simple as ,Taking a Tilda Stamp with a Basket and removing this and adding a Heart from another magnolia stamp so she is holding that instead of the basket, Or it could be as simple as Tilda's Head on a Magnolia Horse, Have a play and mix & Match your magnolia stamps to come up with a Unique Magnolia Image."

This is my attempt at Tingla's bedroom dresser. I used the Frame stamp and the Kitchen Bench stamp so I guess it's called a "Franch" lol.

I used:
Paper - Basic Grey & Imagination Project
Flowers - Prima
Gems - Papermania
Brads - Papermania (and inked with Cats Eyes)
Stamps - The comb and perfume bottle - See d's

In for another battering

It looks as though we are going to be hit by more strong winds tomorrow, so far (touch wood), we have been ok. My husband did inform me this morning that he had to retrieve our 2' X 6' tool shed as it was partly in our neighbours garden. We built it together about three years ago to cover a gate between the two houses. Our only plan was sketched on the back of a receipt and we had much fun painting it so I would be very upset if anything happened to it in this bad weather.

This card was a challenge because I find it difficult to work with orange (I think that I am also wishing for warmer weather).

I used:
Paper = Basic Grey & Papermania
Cardstock = DCWV
Brads = Papermania
Flowers = Papermania
Ribbon = Papermania
Adhesive Stones = Papermania
Rub-ons = Printed on the PC
Frame = X-cut shape cutter and scallop scissors
Embossing = Cuttlebug folder
Image = Raincoat Tilda, coloured with Prismacolors and blended with Zest-it.

Today's efforts

Today has been a much better day, despite the manic tree die cutting session. I am pleased to say that all, grass, trees and fairies are now done!

I had a chance to play with another new Tilda today. Not as good, (in my opinion) as yesterday's but I really do struggled with this Basic Grey paper. Pink is a colour that I don't enjoy working with either but nevermind.

I do like these Prima Flowers though, I really ought to buy some more soon and I adore adhesive gems.
