Happy New Year, my lovelies!
Sorry I've not been online recently, ye olde manne and I have been visiting family in Shrewsbury, meeting our beautiful granddaughter. Lillie is a Downs baby, which means she's been subjected to various tests in the hospital, but they're all home now, thank goodness! She has my ears!!! And my daughter's mouth!!! She is just so cute and lovely! I read somewhere that the job of grandparents and grandchildren is simply to adore one another. That's not hard! I want to wish all of you a very happy New Year! 2011 has been a wonderful year for meeting all you lovely, inspiring crafty folk, and I look forward to seeing you all again online in 2012! with much love, Mags B xxx
My granddaughter!
Here are pics of Lillie, taken soon after she was born on 23rd December. Best Christmas Present! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas Day! Happy New Year! love Mags B x
It's Grannie Time!
Well, nearly. DIL has had a 'show' - grandchild due in the next day or so! I probably won't be online much this next few days, so I want to take the opportunity to wish you A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR! Thank you so much for your lovely comments this past year, and also for your gorgeous, inspirational blogs. You are all amazing!!! with much love Mags B xxx
A Christmas Tag!
I apologise for this terrible picture, the colours are rather faint and faded :( The current Penny Black Saturday Challenge is to make a tag. I don't have any readymade ones, so I took a slightly battered ivory card blank and cut it to size. The sketch is from Mojo Monday , it fits what I wantwed to do very well! The background paper is Papermania, from the Vintage Christmas stack. I coloured another piece of ivory card with Shabby Shutters Distress Ink by smearing the pad onto my craft sheet, spritzing with water and dabbing the card until I had a nice speckly pattern. Very Time Holtz!! I used the small music stamp from the PB 'Clearly in Love' set, stamping with Versamark Gold, then tore round the image. I went over the edges of the papers with the Versamark, which gives a very pretty sheen that is nowhere in sight on the photo! The holly is a Memory Box die from Crafts U Love and I glittered the leaves with gold Glamour Dust. The lace is from stash, and so is the ribbo...
Debbi has a Flexmarker demo and candy!
Debbi has a great video tutorial on her blog, demonstrating Flexmarkers and how the technique you use has to be slightly different from Promarkers. Very interesting! She also has Flexmarker candy for anyone who'll post and link. You should look at her blog anyway, my dearios, because her colouring is so good! I hope you'll all have a good weekend! love Mags B x
