Spring Magnolia

By

Today’s card is celebrating Spring and one of the flowers that blooms so magnificently at this time of year (in the UK).

I love magnolia trees and this year they are blooming all over the place - there’s even one outside my mum’s window at her nursing home.

So that being said I had to create a card with one on and this is the result - take a look 



This stunning image is from Stampin’ Up in the Online Exclusives page and it’s perfect for colouring in. I’ve used both marker pens and watercolour pencils for this and I am so pleased with the result.

I am entering this card into the following two challenges 

Freshly Made Sketches


CAS Colours and sketches




Well March sneaked away quite quickly didn’t it? And then Easter passed by too but what a lovely time it was especially as I got to spend time with my daughter, son in law and granddaughter.

Penny is 22 months now and loves drawing and colouring - good job Grandma (me) doesn’t mind the mess!!!

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr...
