My Handmade Magnolia Stamps Holder

Hi all! Urgh! It's another dull and dreary day but i finally got my Magnolia stamps holder finished, Yay!
I started off with some old curtain lining for the hanger and also the pockets. I stitched the pockets on to the hanger but before i did that i stamped a few of my Magnolia stamps onto them and coloured them in with my Copics and Promarkers. I then glued some gorgeous velvet ricrac ribbon onto some of the pockets. The flowers i pinned on and i used me glue gun to stick the Marianne Butterfly diecut (and gems) to the pocket, i also pinned a heart charm on. I finished it all off with a recycled pole and some cord and tied 2 lace bows.
BTW everything on my project is handstitched!

Tilda's Pencil Pot

Hi everyone, i hope you all had a lovely weekend! I managed a bit of gardening with the help of my hubby, it was only pruning a couple of plants but i was so pleased. I was getting bored watching hubby do all the work, i'm waiting to hear from the hospital about having a scan on my knee!
I've been busy altering another milk container into a pot for my pencils. For this one i used the same products apart from some heat embossed Fran-tage and my 'Tilda with Pencils stamped with Archival ink and coloured with my Copics and DMs. Other products used are Queen & Co Washi Tape and Card Candi.

Those Meeces Are At It Again!

Good morning everyone! Is everyone looking forward to the weekend?
I went grocery shopping with hubby yesterday, hubby pushed the trolley while i wheeled myself around in one of the stores wheel chairs. It was a right laugh!!
Talking of laughs, here's a fun clean and simple card i made using those cute little mice from House Mouse created by the lovely Joanna Sheen. I've coloured them with Copics and heat embossed their fur. I also heat embossed the friends sentiment and the edges around the image, both sentiments are from Joanna Sheen. I used a cream A6 card and some Kraft card.
