Get well card

Hello all my crafty blogging friends, getting a bit of a regular on here again, aren't I? It is one of my new years resolutions to try and put aside a little blogging time, another resolution is to organise my stash better so I spend more time crafting and less time looking for things.

Last week with this in mind I started to organise my stamps, first by companies and then into categories, putting the Christmas ones away, sorting the birthday ones in to male, female, children, wedding, sentiments etc this revealed I had several Easter stamps  mmmmm why I wonder had I got so many Easter stamps? come to that why had I got 3 of the same wedding stamp? 

So when the snow was falling on Monday I thought it high time to ink a few of those Easter stamps, then out came the Copics and I made a few Easter cards. Well that got a few of you rushing for your diaries yesterday when I blogged an Easter card! I still have some more to share but I will save them for another day...

Todays card is a get well card that I made for my brother-in-law who had a knee op.

The recipe for this card is:

Main card: Craft Den white 8" x 8"

Backing paper: Bo Bunny Double Dot and oddments from off cut box

Stamps: Magnolia Nurse Tilda

Copics

Punch: Fiskars Star

Card Candi: Craftworkcards

Button, twine, bandage from stash

Hand written sentiment: Wishing you a very speedy recovery

All products used available from the Craft Den

Hope you like it.

Happy crafting hugs Lynne xox

B is for Banner

I have a few pictures to share with you this evening, of a banner that hangs in our studio.

It was made and designed by Jill (with no blog, yet!) It reads 'Magnolia Stamps' it is absolutely fabulous, and I am thrilled to bits with it. Each piece measure 12" tall and each letter is 5 1/2" cut on the Cricut with the Storybook cartridge.

I must apologise for my pictures as they are not the best and by no means do it justice.

I took several pictures this afternoon but not all of them are clear enough to show. I was balancing on a chair at the time trying to get some close ups. lol

Not all the letters are here and they are not in any order

There are large bows at either end which really set it off beautifully.

Blogger is being a pain and won't load the rest, so thats your lot for tonight.

Happy Crafting Lynne x

A Midsummers Night Dream & Jill!!

The new Magnolia mag has arrived today, a whole day early, not very often do any of our deliveries arrive a day early!! a day or two late but never early. The funny thing is that Jill with no blog Jill must have some kind of 6th sense as every time we get a Magnolia delivery Jill is never very far away and today is no exception. Late this afternoon there was a knock on the back door, which was the Magnolia delivery and ten minutes later Jill walked in the front door!!! I don't know how she does it, but she knows you know! lol

Thats all tonight folks I am absolutely shattered! I woke at 4am this morning and never got back to sleep. So I am off to catch up on some shut eye. I will update the website tomorrow with Magnolia stamps and mag.
Don't forget I am not around in the morning. Lynne xx
