Hi everyone, well here I am very late tonight but I just wanted to share one of the brand new stamps from Lili of the Valley. There are lots of beautiful new stamps and some amazing circular sentiment stamps which are going to be released at the NEC next week!!!!

This beautiful girl is called Little Ballerina and I love her to bits already - wait until you see all the others. The rest of the DT are also showing sneak peeks too so pop along and have a look. I will be back later this week with more peeks and will hopefully get a card made with the wonderful sentiments - these are going to sell out sooooooooo fast!

Enjoy the rest of your evening xxx

Another SWALK sneak peek

Here is another card using the brand new SWALK images from Crafter's Companion. They are available to buy RIGHT NOW and they are also Pick of the Week on Create and Craft so get switched onto sky channel 671 to view lots of the samples and demos.

I just adore all the sentiments that come with the images but the image could be used for lots of occassions. Not sure if you can see her blingy ring on this pic but I made sure she had a nice sized rock onher finger lol.

Music Saves My Soul Saturday #6

Morning, I am so happy it is the weekend. Tonight a big group of us are going out to celebrate my friend's birthday. I can't wait because it is fancy dress!!!!!!!! Lots of pics will be up on my facebook tomorrow lol.

I can't believe it is week 6 already on Music Saves my Soul! I really wanted to share a Queen song with you but had no idea which one to choose. I heard this last night and that helped me make my mind up ..... what a song! I am so sad I never got the chance to see them live, it would have been amazing. How sad to think that if Freddie had been alive now and diagnosed with his illness he would probably have been alive for many years to come .... medicine has come such a long way since the early days of HIV and AIDs.

To play along please post the picture of 'Music Saves My Soul' to your sidebar and link it to my blog to help spread the word. If you could then share your video on your blog and link it to the blue frog below that would be fabulous. I will draw this months winner on the first Saturday of next month ... good luck!!!!!

I hope you enjoy my song this week .... have a wonderful weekend xxx

Just Magnolia - a sketch

Hey there, how are you all doing?? It's Friday woop woop!!! I have a busy weekend coming up though with DT work so I am going to be locking myself away and being a busy, busy girl. I will still manage a night out tomorrow with my darling Glen .... love you hun xxxx

So onto this weeks challenge on Just Magnolia - we have a great sketch by our lovely teamie Dawny.

Thought I would let Edwin come out to play for a change .... another of last years stamps that has never seen ink ... tut tut 

Soz for the poor pictures today, struggled for some reason last night, but you get the general idea. Lots of traditional colours today - I don't think Edwin would have been too happy in pinks and lilacs lol.

And that's your lot ..... not fussy at all for a change from me and a really fabby sketch to use. Hope you all get chance to join is this week. xxx
