Christmas Tilda.

Hi everyone, it seems like a while since  I used this Tilda but I thought she'd be nice for a Christmas card today. I love this Tilda because she can be used for birthdays as well as Christmas.

I used :-

Image :- Magnolia.

DP :- Basic Grey.

Colouring :- Promarkers.

Card Candy :- Craftwork Cards.

Snowflakes :- Martha Stewart punch.

Pearls :- Prima E Line.

I'm entering this in the Just Magnolia challenge which is anything goes plus beads. I used the lovely sketch from Sketch and Stash.

Thanks for looking and if you've got a minute to leave a comment I'd love to hear what you think. I've got a small candy planned and I'll post it later if I've got time, if not I'll do it first thing tomorrow.

Pink!

Hi girls, I wanted to post this last night but I couldn't get a good photo so I waited till this morning. Not sure the photo is any better. But I had to work all day and then I was out this evening. So here it is now. I love pink so it was not really any hardship to make this card.

I used :-

Image :- Magnolia.

Sentiment :- Craftwork cards.

DP :- Crafty Creations and Craftwork Cards.

Colouring :- Promarkers.

Pearls :- Hobby House.



I'd like to enter the following challenges :-
Passion for Promarkers :- Pink & White Christmas.
Just Magnolia :- Think Pink.
Allsorts :- Spots and Stripes.
Totally Tilda :- Pink and Pearls.

It's ages since I've used a Tilda.This is a great stamp as you can use it at any time of year not just Christmas. Hope you like and please leave me a comment if you have a minute to spare. Thanks for looking.

Sweet Princess!

Hi everyone I'm having a spot of deja vu here. I've already written most of this post and then it vanished. I'm not a happy bunny as you can imagine as I have lots to do!! I've made this card this morning in spite of the fact that I need to get 2 DT cards made lol! But I've been wanting to use this sweet princess.

I've used :-

Image :- Princess Tilda.

Sentiment :- Craftwork Cards.

Colouring :- Promarkers, Sakura clear glitter gel pen.

Flowers :- Wild Orchid Crafts.

DP :- Papermania rose garden.

Stickles.

Pearls :- the Hobby House.

Glittery gems, ribbons and charm from stash.

I'm going to enter a few challenges with this card :-

Just Magnolia :- Anything goes.

Magnolia Down Under :- Charm/s.

Totally Papercrafts :- 4 embellishments, 3 papers, 2 ribbons and 1 image.

Stamp Something :- Charm/s.

Friday Sketchers :- Sketch.

I hope I've got the 4 embellishments part right for Totally Papercrafts. I'm a bit confused about whether it is 4 of one embellishment or 4 different embellishments. So I've used 4 pearls and 4 jewels. But as well as these 2 embellishments I've also got flowers and a charm ie 4 different embellishments.

Now I'd best get on with my DT cards. I always mean to be organised earlier in the week but somehow it never happens. I was really looking forward to having the day off next Monday for the bank holiday but somehow I think I'm going to be busy doing other things like decorating lol!

Hope you're all having a lovely day. Here it is really nice but apparently the weather will be back to normal tomorrow!

Just Magnolia 51.

Good afternoon everyone. Hope it's better than the morning has been!

Started off ok! I was just innocently emptying the dishwasher when disaster struck. I picked up a glass and the next thing it was in a thousand pieces all over the dishwasher and the floor. Of course the dogs were in the kitchen too. As you may know Lucy is blind and deaf so the only bits that really work properly are the nose and the mouth and they are usually on the floor. So I had to move pretty smartly and get them out of the disaster area, feed them and get them outside. Luckily my kitchen is quite big so after a quick sweep I could make and eat my breakfast. I had to go over to work to finish my weekly post office balance. Needless to say the glass and dog hair (Labrador is very helpfully casting just now!) was still in a pile when I went out. I also wanted to post my nephew's birthday present while I was out so then I managed to rip the paper just as I was about to put on the last piece of sellotape. Lucky cufflinks only make a very small parcel so I still had plenty of paper. I was hoping before I went out that one small cut would count as three things going wrong otherwise I would have been a bit nervous about going out in the car lol!

So I came back to sweep the floor...twice, then hoover it and rinse the dishwasher...twice. I even had bits out of the dishwasher that I didn't know came out lol! I just hate the idea of broken glass anywhere. Especially in the dishwasher. And I always worry about the dogs poor wee paws. So in spite of the fact that I was up about 6.30am as usual I didn't manage to sit down at the computere till about 11am. Didn't see my emails yesterday so I had to delete about 50 of them unread. I really hate the way these nutheads send out all that rubbish in the hope someone will be daft enough to open it and read it. Then I had a quick look at some blogs before starting this.

If anyone is still with me I'd best get onto my card lol! I made it the other day along with the one for my nephew but didn't post it as I was short of time and the ones I've posted already were more urgent.

I did the Just Magnolia blog hop recently and wanted to make a card to enter this weeks challenge. This week there is a lovely sketch to follow and the theme is "thank you." I also wanted to enter the Magnolia Down Under challenge who want to see masking on our cards. And the challenge over at One Stitch at a Time is also "thank you."

I used :-

Images :- Tilda and a tree stump.

DP :- Papermania rose garden.

Colouring :- Promarkers and Sakura clear glitter gel pen.

Sentiment :- Craftwork Cards.

Flowers :- Wild Orchid Crafts.

Pearls :- Hobby House.

Ribbon from Stash.

Nesties.

I think that's it and I'm off to make a start to my DT cards after my lunch. My daughter gets the keys to her flat tomorrow so I feel a spot of decorating coming on. Not something I'm very good at unfortunately.

Pretty Magnolia.

Hello everyone. I feel as if I haven't posted for ages! I was going to go to Papercrafts in Elgin, the home of Sugar Nellies, with my friend today. Notice the "was"! Because of the snow and high winds everywhere in Scotland earlier this week we decided it would be better to postpone our trip for a couple of weeks. So instead I've made sure I had my DT cards done and my posts scheduled for Saturday and Sunday. I'll be away visiting my daughter and her family at the weekend so I thought it would be better if I got myself organised now.

But I really wanted to make a card just for a couple of challenges, so here it is.

I used:-

DP :- K& Co.

Image :- Magnolia.

Colouring :- Promarkers plus Sakura clear glitter gel pen.

Flowers :- Wild Orchid Crafts, sprayed with Tattered rose Glimmer Mist.

Sentiment :- Craftwork Cards edged with Promarker.

Stickles, jewels and nesties.

Faux stitching with American Crafts Precision pen.

Challenges entered:-

Just Magnolia :- Sketch.

Magnolia Down Under. :- Stitching.

Now I need to do some work on my name hanging for Oliver and put the finishing touches to his and Poppy's Easter cards.

See you all soon.

She's so pretty!

Good afternoon everyone and what a miserable one it is too. It's been a horrible day here....misty, wet....just nasty. But never mind I've spent time doing what I like best...crafting....at least I have this afternoon. This morning I checked out my favourite blogs and caught up with my DT commenting. I meant to make a start on my DT cards too. Well I've stamped out an image for one of them!

But I really wanted to do one for the Just Magnolia challenge as I love easel cards. I meant to make one that would fit some spring challenges but now that it's finished I'm not sure that it's spring-like at all!

I used the lovely sketch from the Totally Papercrafts challenge and the colours from the Sophisticat challenge which are mint, lilac and one other colour plus flowers. My other colour is pink.

There are a couple of Spring challenges that I'd like to enter too :-
Allsorts and the Secret Crafter challenge. I hope this card is ok for these 2 challenges!


This second picture doesn't really add anything but I thought you might like to see the rain on my conservatory window. The only one sitting in there today is my Labrador. She has taken over a chair....which of course no-one else wants to sit on now lol!!


Oops forgot to tell you what I used to make this card!

Image :- Magnolia.

DP :- K&Co.

Colouring :- Promarkers.

Sentiment and card candy :- Craftwork Cards.

Flowers :- Wild Orchid Crafts.

I also used Stickles, Sakura clear gel pen and clear glitter gel pen and ribbon from stash.

I'm off to feed the dogs now and take them for a walk before tea. Hopefully I'll be back later with another card.

Pretty in Pink.

Hello everyone hope you've all had a good day. We've had a lovely day here though it's a bit dull now. Tomorrow is supposed to be not so nice but it's my day off anyway and I need to get busy!

I've used one of my favourite Magnolias to make this card for a few challenges. I hurried to take a photo in daylight while waiting for my Tesco order. The driver was on the phone twice.....lost...he'd never been here before! I see now that it's not a good photo after all. It is all matted on a nice pearlescent pale pink but the lacy strip, cut out with my beautiful new Martha Stewart punch doesn't look very pink to me!

DP :- Cloud 9.
Image :- Magnolia.

Sentiment :- Craftwork Cards.

Colouring :- Promarkers, Sakura glitter gel pen and clear gel pen.

Punches :- Marth Stewart lace and butterfly.

Flowers :- Wild Orchid Crafts.

Stickles.

I'm hoping to enter some challenges with this card:-

Charisma Cardz :- Beautiful butterflies.

Just Magnolia :- Sketch.

Magnolia Down Under :- Birthday card.

Totally Papercraft :- Wings.

Magical Crafts :- Things with wings.

Magnolia Down Under have been having a blog hop and the DT all have candy so it would be good to support them by taking part in the blog hop. I've done it and they have some gorgeous creations so why don't you pop over for a look and take part if you have time.

Best get going now and get these challenges entered. Might just have time to have my tea before I go to the WRI. Tonight we have our own little show and a speaker from "Mercy Ships."

See you all tomorrow,

Kat xx

Sweet Magnolia.

Good morning everyone from a very wet and slushy Aberdeenshire. It's really horrible here today. Sleety and windy. The snow is rapidly disappearing here. As the crow flies we are only 2 or 3 miles away from the North Sea so we have not had actual snow falling this last couple of days. We're surrounded by fields so all I can see are the remains of the snow and water everywhere....yuk. Even my Labrador wasn't keen on going for a walk today.

But on to my card! I have been so busy trying to comment on the entries for my 2 DT challenges that I haven't done much in the way of crafting! It's very time consuming but it's lovely to see other people's work. I made this card last night just because I wanted to enter Just Magnolia. Haven't they given us a lovely sketch this week. I made it into an easel card so it also fits the Magnolia Down Under challenge.

I think it also fits the following challenges:-

Stamp Something :- A Touch of Spring.

Magical Crafts :- Something for Mum.

Basic Grey :- Maroon, lemon and pink - the lovely Lemonade paper.

Everybody Art Challenge :- Easel card.

Secret Crafter :- Mother's Day.

I also used - Card candy and sentiment from Craftwork Cards, gorgeous roses from Wild Orchid Crafts, Promarkers, raffia lace and ribbon. Oops nearly forgot I sprayed the flowers with Glimmer Mist.

I think that's about it. Now I need to go and make a card for my husband's birthday.....which is today! My son-in-law's birthday was yesterday and he got his card and present on time but I kind of ran out of time to make hubby's card. Possibly because I made this card last night lol! I won't be able to post his card till the weekend as I'm intending to make his card one of my DT cards so you'll be able to see it on Sunday.

See you all later if I don't get too caught up with my DT work.

What a Sweetie!

Good evening girls, I haven't had time to make anything today....yet but here is a card I made yesterday. I love this Tilda, she looks so sweet, doesn't she? I haven't been very good at entering the Just Magnolia challenge for a few weeks, which is a pity as I love my Tildas. So this week I have taken the chance to be early for a change.

Colouring:- Promarkers.

DP:- Basic Grey.

Sentiment:- Craftwork Cards.

Roses:- Prima.

Also used:- Nellie Snellen punch, Nesties, velvet ric rac ribbon, heart charm,heart shaped jewels, red Spica glitter gel pen on hearts on dress and glimmer mist.

Think I may have overdone the Glimmer Mist, it's everywhere lol!

The other challenges I am entering are:-

Sketch and Stash :- Sketch and I used some new flowers.

Colour Create :- Red, white, chocolate and pink with the addition of silver and hearts.

Cute Card Thursday :- In the name of love.

Susie's Sassy Challenge :- Hearts and flowers.

Daring Cardmakers :- Have a heart.

Stamp Something :- Cute.

Fussy and Fancy :- Dazzle us.

Paperplay :- Birthday card for someone special.

Pile it on :- Flowers.

I think that's the lot. Now will I try to make something or do my ironing? Decisions, decisions!

Kat xx

Hearts and flowers!

At last after faffing about all day I've managed to finish a card and get it posted. It's only a very quick card though. Just Magnolia have a nice simple sketch this week which I really enjoyed using. This is one of my favourite Tilda images and I coloured her with Promarkers as usual. I also coloured the card candy from Craftwork Cards to match and edged the image before matting it on the same card as the base card. The DP I used is from paper adventures, the flowers and flat-backed pearls are from Prima and the ribbon and heart shaped jewels are from my stash.

I'v added another picture to show that the jewels are heart shaped - I need hearts and flowers for one of the challenges I'm entering!

I hope to enter the following challenges as well as Just Magnolia:-

Passion for Promarkers :- Pastel green and blossom.

A Spoon Full of Sugar :- Freestyle - what you like.

Crafty Creations :- Celebrations.

Creative Inspirations Wednesday Challenge :- Feminine.

Allsorts :- Hearts and flowers.

Cute Card Thursday :- Blooming Gorgeous.

I think I'll go and enter these challenges and get back to my DT card for Totally Gorjuss. I just need to get it finished so that I can post it on the DT blog and sort out a scheduled post for Saturday morning as I am going to a candle party tomorrow and I won't have time to do anything between getting home from work and going out.

Soon be the weekend girls only one more day to go lol!

Last Minute Again.

Well all I can say is that it's a good thing I didn't make a New Year's resolution not to enter challenges at the last minute cos here I am again trying to enter the Just Magnolia challenge and it's almost the deadline. Again!! I've had a whole day off and I am ashamed to say I only started making this card this evening and not early evening at that.

I coloured the lovely Tilda in heart dress with Promarkers and her wings with a Sakura clear, glitter gel pen. I used the same gorgeous MME DP that I used yesterday. I just love it. I love the colours and the patterns it is just yummy paper and now I have bought some more I can use it freely. I added some Prima flowers and brads from my stash. The flowers are edged with Promarker. The sentiment is from Hero Arts. I also added faux stitching with an American Crafts Precision pen. The sketch I used is a really nice one from Sketch Saturday.

I can probably enter some other challenges but I'll need to think about that later.

I think I have enough layers to enter the Spoon Full of Sugar challenge and I think it is girly enough for the Passion for Promarkers challenge!

In spite of the fact that I'm sure I have plenty of Teddy stamps I decided that I needed some Popcorn the Bear stamps from Joanna Sheen for the new challenge atJust Cute Bears. I ordered some last night but of course I had to go off out this morning to see if I could get one locally. I went into a local shop that makes celebration cakes and sells craft goods. And met a friend! So I found a couple of things, then we went for lunch and then off to another craft shop that was having a sale. So that was really nice. We had a nice lunch and a chat and that was good. And I was only out of the house for just over 2 hours! Unfortunately I got caught up with other things after that and only started crafting well into the evening. I did catch up with commenting on the entries for Totally Gorjuss. I think it's important to comment as much as I can because it can be quite discouraging to enter challenges and find that no-one from the DT comments on your work. It is time consuming but when someone has gone to the bother of entering it is nice to acknowledge it.

I need to go and check out the price of some flower nesties! See you tomorrow.

Just Magnolia 39.

I don't think this is exactly my finest hour. I decided to try the Just Magnolia challenge which is paper pleating. I followed the tutorial which was very clear but maybe it would have been better if I had practised instead of just jumping straight in. I have used red mainly which fits the Daring Cardmakers challenge. I followed the sketch from Stamp Something which I think goes well with the image. I think the card is "girly" enough for the Cupcake challenge and it is a birthday card which fits the Pink Elephant challenge.


I used Promarkers to colour the image, edge the image, sentiment and flowers and colour the card candy to match. The sentiment and card candy is from Craftwork Cards and the flowers are Hero Arts. The DP is DCWV, K& Co and the spotty piece is anonymous.

As I said probably not my best card and certainly not a good photo. I have just never got out of the bit all day. My husband had the day off today as his boss died of a massive brain haemorrhage yesterday and everyone was given the day off. He was the sort of boss who knew everyone who worked for him - and there were a lot of them. I think what bothers a lot of them was that he was a similar age to a lot of them! Since the roads around us are a bit better, still quite thick ice and a lot of water but an improvement, I went to buy a present for a friend's granddaughter and some more double sided tape! But I seemed to spend a lot of time just faffing about catching up on blogs before I thought maybe I could do a couple of Friday challenges. Tomorrow I need to shift myself and get my DT card done for Totally Gorjuss.

See you tomorrow, I should try to comment on some of the entries for the TG challenge now and maybe have a nice cup of coffee at the same time.

Just Magnolia 38.

Good afternoon and I hope everyone is managing to keep going in spite of all this snow. It is still very nasty here in Aberdeenshire. I spent ages getting the snow off my car this morning and struggled over to work. I must be daft because I only need to go into work for about 10 minutes to finish off the weekly balance in the post office after the lottery payments and prizes are sorted out when the shop closes on a Wednesday evening. It wasn't easy to get out of our drive and down the farm track to the tar road but I made it. After that it is only a mile or so to the main Aberdeen to Peterhead road but it is very narrow at the best of times and even more so when there is drifted snow! Road was nasty but not any worse than previously. The main road was not even very good but it was busy. So I did what I had to do, got my paper and milk and headed for home. And got stuck!!!! From the main road it is quite a steep little hill and off course you have a right angled turn from clearish road onto snow and ice. So you have to slow right down. Of course this is not ideal when you need a bit of speed to get up the hill. I got so far and then that was it, reversed back but got stuck. Got out my shovel but no use as the road was pure ice. So trudged up the hill and found the farmer who said he would pull me up the hill. Went back down to the car and then along came our neighbours' son on his tractor. So then the farmer at the main road came down on his Manitou loader, put a rope on and in seconds I was up the hill on the level beside his house. Home from there no problem but really embarassed. Before that I thought about nipping to Tesco as it was quite a nice morning. Banish that thought......I was too worried about getting stuck on the same hill. I won't say how long I have been driving in all sorts off conditions but this is the first year I have got stuck and twice in the same week too!!!

My daughter has gone out with the dog and the snow has come on again and quite heavy by the look of the amount that has landed on the Velux window I can see from where I am sitting. She will not be chuffed.....to say the least.

But enough of me waffling because I know that very many of us are in the same position and at least we have food and electricity and oil for our heating. (as long as the oil lasts!) I have made this card with the lovely Tilda with present. I love this image and used her at Christmas too. I think you could easily use her for birthdays too because there is no specific Christmas element about her. I coloured her with Promarkers and also used them to edge the flowers. I think I may have gone too far with the flowers, maybe I should have left it at just edging them! The DP is the lovely Basic Grey Wassail but these particular papers do not look Christmassy so I could use this for a birthday card or put it past for next Christmas. I would have liked a dark red ribbon but could only find a really narrow one so I used this lovely shimmery, sparkly white one instead.


Now I think I deserve a wee coffee and a Kit Kat before I think about another card. I should also think about my chicken curry for tea. I made lentil soup on the spur of the moment yesterday afternoon so my daughter and I had that at lunchtime. I seem to make soup all the time in the winter. I'm a bit of a spur of the moment soup maker. I usually think what have I got and chuck it in a pot. I'll try making soup with any kind of veg! I need to do a card for Friday Sketchers since I got round to doing their blog hop. And of course I still have to make my Totally Gorjuss DT card.

Nearly forgot I should say that the point of this post was to show you the card.........which I have done and it is for the Just Magnolia challenge.

Hope to be back later with another card.

Just Magnolia 35.

Here I am with my second post today. I managed to make this today in spite of the fact I had to waste time going out shopping for 3 Secret Santa parcels. But at least that's done now and at least I've got another Christmas card done! This is one of my lovely new Magnolia images and I couldn't wait to ink her. I coloured her with Promarkers. I think this Basic Grey Wassail is just perfect for this image, I love the colours in it. I used a Martha Stewart edge punch to make a lovely lacy edge for one of the layers. The tag was made with a tag punch and I added some card candy from Craftwork Cards and a charm from Elaine at Quixotic Paperie. The flowers and brads are from my stash.



The challenges I am entering are:-

Just Magnolia :- Sketch.
Cupcake :- Red and green.
Quixotic Paperie :- Be charming.
Simon Says Stamp challenge :- So charming.

Now I need to get on with my DT card for Totally Gorjuss. Can't believe we have another challenge due tomorrow. Hope some of you are going to join us this week - remember you don't have to use a Gorjuss Girl although you do get two shots if you do.

See you soon.

Thursday Already!

Hi everyone. I've managed a post at last. Feel as if I haven't done very much for the past few weeks. I think I have it just doesn't feel like it! I've posted my DT card for the Totally Gorjuss challenge which is due tomorrow.

For this card I've used this lovely sketch from Create 4 Fun. I love a good sketch to get the ideas going. I've masked this sweet Tilda which just arrived today with my order from The Glitter Pot. They were really quick I just ordered on Tuesday - and Wednesday! And both orders arrived today. Fantastic service and great prices. My DP is the lovely MME wonderful winter again. and the snowflakes were made with a Martha Stewart punch. The sentiment is from Craftwork Cards and the gems and velvet ric rac ribbon are from my stash. Tilda has been coloured with Promarkers as usual. I'm entering this card in the Just Magnolia challenge.

Need to go now as I am going out to a friend's house for a crafting session.

Kat xx

Too Late!

I'm really annoyed with myself now for wasting so much time earlier today. I didn't have time to finish this card before I went out tonight and when I got back it was too late for the Just Magnolia challenge. I made it really quickly and only had to put together the flowers and add the ribbon and sentiment. Never mind cos I do need to do things in time. I am either quite early with challenges or in at the last minute. I really needed to get my DT card done on time so that was more important! At least I can enter this card in the Sophisticat challenge.

I've used:-

Sketch:- Just Magnolia.

DP:- Basic Grey bittersweet.

Image:- Magnolia.

Colouring:- Promarkers plus white inkssentials opaque gel pen.

EK Success punches and nesties.

Ribbon, button and pearls from stash.

Hope you like. I love this Basic Grey paper it is very easy to find patterns that go together and that makes it easier to make a card. And of course I love pink.

Just Magnolia 27 and Stamping for the Weekend.

First of all girls I must apologise for the quality of the photos but we have had so much rain since yesterday that you almost need a snorkel and flippers to walk the dogs lol!! I have had to have the light on all day so that does not add up to good photos.

I quickly made this simple card for the Just Magnolia Challenge and the Stamping for the Weekend Challenge.

The first photo doesn't really show how zingy the colours are and the snowflakes are not very clear so I have done one of my strange angle photos which shows the snowflakes a bit better and the colours are a bit brighter - I hope!

The weird angle!

I used:-

DP:- MME colourful Christmas
Colouring:- Promarkers and turquoise Vivid inkpad.
Image:- Tilda in overalls - just humour me pretend she is wearing a snowsuit or ski-suit.
Nesties, Sizzix and Martha Stewart punch.
Jewels coloured with orange promarker, stickles on pompom on hat, other jewels, buttons and string from stash.

Not sure if I like this card or not, what do you think. I'll have to add it to my pile of Christmas cards anyway - I still need a lot more.

Maybe be back later with another card.

Autumn Colours

Just a quick post now cos I'm going out to a card making session at a friend's house tonight. I thought I'd occupy my mind by making a card for a few challenges. I'm so nervous about the launch of the Totally Gorjuss first challenge tomorrow that I need to occupy my mind. I know this is silly but I feel quite jittery inside. I didn't think I would feel like this but it's a big thing for me. I've only been blogging since about the 20th of June so I feel as if I've come a long way since then!

I used:-

DP:- MME bloom and grow.

Image:- Tilda with pumpkin.

Nesties, Promarkers, Martha Stewart punch.

Ribbon, lace and buttons from my stash.

Challenges entered:-

Just Magnolia :- Sketch.

Stamp Something:- Brown plus something else.

Stamping for the weekend:- Orange, brown and leafy green.

The Pink Elephant:- Autumn.

The Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge:- Autumn Colours.

By the Cute and Girly:-Autumn Glory.

Papertake Weekly:-The dark side - Halloween.

Cute Card Thursday:- Spook Fest.

Creative Card Crew:- Scallops.

Hope I've got all that right.

Friday Challenges.

Good afternoon everyone (I'm being cheeky here assuming anyone is going to read this!) I have had a nice day off here. The weather has been lovely, after the frost this morning we had lots of sun...but we have had a couple of showers too! Hope it has been nice where you are.

I managed to make a card for the Just Magnolia challenge - one of my favourites. Isn't Tilda cute all dressed up ready to go to school! I think these Sandylion papers fit the "school" theme very well. Tilda has been coloured with Promarkers and so has the apple. I used my EK Success punches to make my hand made flowers. The base card is Kraft card from Jillibean and I think it fits the theme well too. It makes me think of school books covered with brown paper lol!! Ribbon, brads and jewels are from my stash.

I'm meaning to enter a few challenges with this card:-

Just Magnolia :- Handmade flowers.

Friday Sketchers :- Sketch.

Stamp Something :- Something with apples, teachers, school.

Allsorts Challenge :- Use the colour "Kraft."

I'm off to post this now and enter these challenges and then get on with tea and dog walking and then I can do some more crafting. I love having a day off. I've even managed to read one of the daily papers today. Usually only manage to do that when I'm at work lol!

Thanks for looking and hope you like.
