Willow with Baby Chocobo!



Hi, guys! I hope you're all making the most of the sunshine, there's heavy rain forecast for tomorrow. Apparently it'll be worst just as I walk down to the Church Hall for my slimming club... :(

On to more cheerful things! This Whiff of Joy image is Willow with Turkey Chick and she's coloured with Promarkers. Now, there's a well-known videogame series called 'Final Fantasy' which features big yellow birds called Chocobos that are used for riding, and I owe a fan of the games a thank you card, so this seemed appropriate!

The current challenge at Sketch and Stash is a free choice from the archive. I've used Number 17



The Nitwits papers, flowers and gems are from stash. The leaves are a Magnolia Doo-hickey die which is NEW! The sentiment is a recent buy from LotV.

Ok, chaps, I'm off to do the washing up. Have a good evening, everyone, and thanks for looking!

love Mags B x

Promarkers Walnut, Henna, Tan; Bright Orange; Sunkissed Pink, Blush, Baby Pink, Cerise, Forest Green, Leaf Green, Ivory

Beautiful card Mags, and your flowers are so pretty. Hope you made it to your slimming class nice and dry - wouldn't do to have all that extra weight of water LOL - I hate weigh-in night - even my necklace and watch come off for that :)

Dream Valley Challenges #205 Yellow and Black

Image
Hi, guys! We have a new challenge at Dream Valley and it's to use yellow and black on your project. Our sponsor is the gorgeous All Dressed Up and Wendy kindly gave us a couple of her adorable images to use. I chose Magical Woodland it is so cute. The background is made with the Honeybee layering die set from Birch Press, and I used up scraps of orange, black and yellow card forthe die-cutting. The die-cut sentiment uses a Love from Lizi die and a snippet of black glitter cardstock. Have a look of my teamies' creations, they have made some very pretty cards! Thanks for looking and - Bee Happy! love Mags B x

My Time to Craft! #390 Men Only

Hi, guys! I hope you're all keeping well! We have a new Challenge at My Time to Craft! which is Men Only. Yep, we're asking for those tricky cards for the Blokes! I have made a card for a boy. This is Fenton Frog by Sweet'n'Sassy stamps, he is so cute! ALL the papers and card (except the card base were made with Snippets from the scrap drawer! The sentiment came with the image and I cut it out and layered it onto a folded banner die-cut by Simon Says Stamp, using a scrap of green glittery card. I added green Nuvo Drops as an embellishment as well as two tiny green hearts on the banner. I am determined to make a real effort to use up snippets this year!! Go and see the fab work left on the Challenge blog by my teamies! Thanks for looking and have a great weekend! love Mags B x

My Time to Craft #386 More Than One Fold - but not an easel!!

Image
Hello, my lovelies! I hope you're all keeping well and keeping on top of all the Chrimbo shenanigans! To take your mind off things we have a new Challenge at My Time to Craft! which is More Than One Fold But No Easels! I don't know about you, but an easel card is my default for more than one fold, so I was a bit anxious about this one. However, in the nick of time Jennifer McGuire posted a video on how to make a Double Z-fold card which fits the bill! This is the outside, which looks like an ordinary Z-fold, but when you open it..... I used a printed ready-made card base and stamped and embossed an old Hero Arts stamp across the internal section, masking areas for the sentiments. I coloured the flowers with Zig brush markers. The sentiments are stamped with gold Delicata ink. This was made for a birthday at the end of October, I am pleased to say that the recipient liked it! There is some gorgeous inspiration on the Challenge blog, go and see! Thanks for look...
