Blog Moved

Please see new blog at Magicalmagpie as this blog not allowing me to edit.
The products that I have used are Prima flowers, those darling little hydrangeas are from the Essentials range No.9.  They are a little smaller than the average small hydrangea of previous ranges.  I have added Stickles to the turquoise one and Tim Holtz distress glitter to the brown.  The sizzix die cut is Lace Hearts with Flourishes.
Paper is MME Penny Lane.  MS butterfly punch, and the pearls are from Thailand when we went there for a holiday 3 years ago..  I am afraid I cant remember the Copic pens I have used, but if you need to know a certain colour, I am sure I can help out with that.

If there is anyone out there who can help me with my blog I would be most appreciative.  It seems that I do not have the button that enables you to change the look of your blog, the 'customise' button.  What should I do?  I really dont want to have to start a new blog, because this name; Magicalmagpie is my username on many sites going back to about 2003.  What to do, what to do!

Thanks for looking

Tilda with Ladybug

This is another of my favourites, (oh, gosh, yes, they are all my favourites! However butterflies and ladybugs are special favourites of mine.  Tilda with Ladybug (here in  South Africa we call them ladybirds)

I just adore these two Magnolias from the Shabby Chic Collection. The fence and background is also Shabby Chic. The patterned paper is K& Co, flowers Prima. Coloured in with my Copics.
Both images are mounted on foam sticky bits. TFL. Enjoy your weekend.

I have just received 9 new Maggies, I am going to be busy this weekend. I can really recommend Funky Kits based in Scotland, their service is amazing. I received my parcel from them in a week, I usually wait about 3 weeks for parcels to arrive from the States. When I got my slip from the PO I thought it was for an order placed at the beginning of March, which in my estimation would be here around now, but no it was their order. Thanks guys.

This stamp is the Cuddley Horse from Magnolia. I think its great to have a stock of Baby Cards so I will be making a few of the same sort of card.
Papers used are MME, ribbon American Crafts. Scalloped Heart is Spellbinders, which I believe has been discontinued. Glad I have one ;). Buttons are MM, Cardstock is always Bazzill! My trusty old Sewing Machine, an Elna has been my companion for 29years and still going strong. A part of me is missing when shes not here!
I have also used Stickles for the glitter, the colour is Arctic Ice.
thanks for taking a peek today.
This is Tilda with Sunflower. The paper is MME which is a favourite of mine. Copics are quite new to me and I am just loving using them. I am one of those people who start a collection and am only happy when its complete, so my quest for Copics has begun. I actually dont really use them until I have enough colours to start off with, because I hate thinking: "Oh I wish I had this colour, this other ones not quite right" Let me know if you are the same, because I would hate to think I am alone!

Sorry about the quality of the photo here, and cant retake the photo because the camera is not here today.
This is Shabby Chic Tilda Sitting, another one of my favourites! I have more Magnolias on the way, and I am sitting on a heap of ants just waiting for them to arrive. Knowing my luck they will all arrive at the same time and I just wont know where to start!
I will be posting a couple of cards everyday so please be sure to pop by often.
Have super day
