Good Morning still, hehe!
Today is my middle girl, but I call her little still and call Chloe whom is younger my bubba girl, which she is starting to say NO I’m a big girl….NOOOOOO stay little forever, haha. So it’s Heidi’s birthday, she is the BIG 4 and is watching one of her presents, bet you can’t guess that it’s Coraline, hehe!
So as some of you may know a month ago or so Kristy aka Princess house was flooded, well on Saturday she rang me and it had started again. I told her to get straight onto SES as her hubby is away with the army for a MONTH! Her neighbors, sisters and SES all came to help her and stopped it from getting in the house. And cut loooong story short my hubby said why don’t you go and surprise her *sweetest hubby in the world isn’t he*, she could use the company, so I text her saying could I ring her really late, like 10.30 pm and she said yeah course I can, and instead I showed up on her door step….. She was soooo excited and better yet I bought chocolate, hehe!
So before that, I had only just made my Magnolia Down Under Challenges card, had no time to take photos and the weather here was DARK and yucky the photos looked shocking. The blog post was all over the place so when we woke Sunday morning, Kristy added my photo for me and we fixed up the blog as the font would NOT behave itself, lol and was going MASSIVE instead of just large, lol. No matter how much we both played with it….
Any ways just reminder we have moved the challenge blog to HERE….
The sponsor this week is one of my FAVOURITE paper shops that I can not stop myself but for wanting more and more and the postage is always super quick and parcels packed to perfection, the sponsor is…….
They not only have a wide range of papers, but buttons, flowers, ribbons….. The list is absolutely endless and Anna is going to kindly sponsor a $20 VOUCHER for her store…..WHOO HOO….
Whats the challenge this week? It’s a gorgeous recipe theme this week for you all….
- 3 Papers, 3 Flowers, 2 Buttons & 1 Bow….
I know even I hated myself after trying to make this card for the 4th time all week, bahahaha! But hey whats a challenge if it’s NOT just that?! And I mixed it with the YUMMY stamp I got from Magnolia YIPPEE was so excited when my DT pack arrived…
Stamps : Tilda with Flowing Hair – Hoppy Easter Collection
Papers : Kraft, Brown, Pink Paislee and Websters Paper….
Other : Sewing Machine, White Gel Pen, Flowers, Mini Buttons from Debra *Thank You* Lace and Cream Ribbon *Magnolia* and Doily *Coming Soon to Magnolia Down Under Store.*
This is my first card where I didn’t hand sew I actually used the mini sewing machine I bought 2-3 years ago and never used…. Once I figured out what to do it was fun and will be using it SO much more!
Check out the amazing Design Team works HERE…. WOW they are such a creative bunch of gorgeous ladies, I am sure you will be absolutely blown away….
