In The Wild Somethings!

It's Friday already which means it's time for the Stamp Something challenge! This week's theme is "In the Wild" and I knew exactly what I wanted to do with this one. It's Fathers' Day in the UK on 15 June and wanted to make a card for Tony from the boys. Even though he will be back in the UK for Fathers' Day, thought these stamps from High Hopes were very appropriate considering where he's been living for the last 15 months!












The Jungle background stamp, Walkabout Wally, and G'day sentiment are all from High Hopes. The jungle background has been coloured with Brushables and Wally has been coloured with Prismas and Sansodor. He was cut out and fixed to the card with foam pads. Used two shades of Bazzill c.s. and K & Co DP for the card base and "lifted" the smaller of the two squares with foam pads. Three brads from my stash were added below the image.

Sam has his Tae Kwon-do grading straight after school this afternoon so he's very excited about getting his next belt.....Lewis's grading isn't until Sunday so hopefully, that will mean less rushing about! Hope to catch up on my blog hopping tonight when we're all home and settled. Have a good weekend everyone and pop on over to Stamp Something because there's some fabulous candy on offer from the Guest Designer Laura!

Great card! Haven't seen any of those images before but brilliant for the wild Aussie theme.

Sounds like you enjoyed you're birthday and you've had a fab load of card and pressies. My humble card is winging over from France as I type (posted on your birthday which I realise isn't quite the idea - Sorry!) :)

It's Blog Candy Time!

I'VE EDITED THIS MESSAGE SO (HOPEFULLY!) IT WILL REMAIN AT THE TOP OF MY BLOG UNTIL THE COMPETITION IS OVER. PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR NEWER POSTS! WILL ALSO BE ADDING PHOTOS OF ENTRIES AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST FOR PEOPLE WHO DO NOT HAVE A BLOG. As promised, it's blog candy time. There are three reasons for me doing this. (1) My counter has passed 16,000 hits - wow! can't believe that! and I would like to say thank you to everyone who visits my blog.....would never have dreamed I would have so many visitors since I began blogging at the beginning of December last year! (2) It's my birthday in just over a week and (3) had some fantastic news - Tony (my husband) is coming home for good!! For those of you who don't know, Tony has been working in Australia for the past 15 months and we have only seen him twice in that time.....the last time being at the beginning of October last year! He should be home within a matter of weeks - he's given me the date of 10 June but

Fancy a Magnolia?

Firstly, I'd like to say thank you to everyone who has visited my blog over the last six weeks. It's amazing, I really didn't think I would get so many hits when I started out. It really is appreciated. Now to the blog candy......I've thought long and hard about this and decided to do something a little bit different. The reason being, I think even though we enjoy making cards, we're all so busy with birthdays, challenges, and everyday life, so I thought I'd make it simple. I admit to being a bit(?) of a nosey old moo!! so what I would like you to do is send a link to a photo of your craft space. Don't worry how tidy(?)/untidy, small, big, whatever, your space is. Could be a room (I'd kill for one!), a corner of a room (like mine!), a dining room table. It doesn't matter, just add a comment with a link to your blog and if you haven't got a blog, then e-mail me a photo (my e-mail link is in my Profile). Just to get you started, here's my space

A Quick Magnolia!

This is going to be a very quick posting as I've been suffering from toothache on and off since Friday evening and it is now unbearable. I do have an appointment with the Dentist tomorrow so if I can just get through tonight I'll be OK! Don't really feel like listing all the details for this one, so if you have any questions, just ask.
