This weekend Makes 16th june to 18th june

Hey Everyone hope you had a great weekend? This weekend has been busy but managed to have some me time in my craft area. This weekend i had a panic attack i thought my heat gun was broken, i've only owned my heat gun for 3 months now and when it stopped watching i went to look for my receipt, but what little did i know heat guns, when they get hot they have a cut off, what a dum nut i am lol.









Anyway back to the makes 1st of all, i made a lovely note/ design pad for my sister, She needed a cheer me up gift and as i have no money at the moment, i knew i had too make her something and also gave me the excuss to craft, which i don't need any excuss to get in my craft area.

One of the Fathers Day cards i have made last week

My Magnolia Fathers day Card which i have made for a customer. I love this Edwin stamp and its works well with the distress inks which i used to make it look a bit vintage. 

Sorry its only a short blog this week but i promise you next weeks with be a big one as i've just finished photographing the step by step magnolia tilda/ edwin colouring in 

I'm entering this into Just Magnolia 160 challenge  

Anything goes

Hey Socksgirl Fans Today is Friday 1st June 2012 

Today I'm entering the JUST MAGNOLIA Challenge 159 Anything goes with a doily.
Also ive entered Bunny Zoes Crafts -Anything goes too.

This is my 1st ever Entry and really hope people enjoy it. I made it for a friend, and she was giving it as a gift for somebodies ruby wedding anniversary.

The basic of the card is that I coloured the magnolia stamps with pencils and pro makers. All my Facebook fans keep asking me how i colour in the stamps and what i use, so over the next month i will show you by blogging on here so watch this space kiddo's.

Card

Hi everybody today is Friday 1st June 2012

Sorry I've not written a blog, lately ive had loads to deal with, with my illness but on a likelier note I'm on holiday tomorrow which is ace. 

I thought I would take the time to show you one of my favourite cards I made this year so far. 

I made this for my sister in-laws birthday and it took me a few hours to complete with doing other stuff in between.

The paper and stamp I used were free from a magazine which made it a really cheap card to make, which unlike my other style of cards they are really expensive to make so this was a lovely change in my style of cards.

congrats to the facebook give away winner

Today i randomly picked a winner for the socksgirl give away, it went to Rachel Holden Who has brought off me in the past and left a great comment and shared the image on her network space. She is the winner of this small sock cat which is one of the cuties cats i have made

hope she enjoys her new friend.

add me on facebook and next time you can have a chance in winning a sock toy.
