Stamp Something / Just Magnolia


Good morning everyone and can you believe another week is almost over. We have a wonderful sketch for you all to follow this week on Stamp Something by our very own Denise .

We are sponsored this week by the mega talented Dustin Pike and were able to have a play with some images ..... I just love these images so much, they are always so fun.




I have been using the brilliant cds by Bearly Mine Designs . I have used Designer Extreme Volume 1 and also Designer Inserts Extreme .



A closer look at the cheeky monkey - so cute!

We have such a cute challenge this week on Just Magnolia , we would love to see you all use buttons on your creations.



I couldn't resist using my summer kits again and I have teamed it up with these gorgeous Making Memories papers that I picked up at almost half price a couple of days ago ... aren't they delish! I have followed this weeks sketch on the secret crafter, love it - so useable!



I love pink and orange together, it is so summery don't you think. I hope you all have chance to play along with us. Please check the DTs cards for some amazing inspiration.
Finally a sad note. My uncle passed away yesterday after a brave fight against cancer. He was my mum's little brother. Thankfully my mum managed to get a flight from Spain and was able to be with him. I would be grateful if you could all say a prayer for my mum at this sad time and remember her in your thoughts.

How cute! I love how your monkey hangs out of the main panel, but how did you to that? I've seen others do the same thing and always wonder if they hand cut the entire image panel by hand, or if there's some trick I'm missing!
