Use a die cut @ LHOSM

Helloooooo, yes I know it's been a while but I'm back with a card to show you as part of the 

Lovely h'Anglar or Sweet Magnolia DT.

As you know, this month we want to see you using those 

Die cuts!

We all love our dies, and there are so many of them out there that I'm sure you'll be spoilt for choice!

I've made a birthday card, using Tilda working in the Garden, for a birthday circle friend.

Supplies:

Spellbinders Opulant ovals

Magnolia doohickeys - doily flower, flag and pole, leaf

Memory box clouds

Sorry for the quick post but this is a scheduled post as I'm in the Netherlands at the moment!

Hope you like my card, please check out the awesome inspiration that my teamies have made this month, and don't forget the prize this time is from the wonderful Ribbon Girl

Thanks for visiting my blog today, be back soon.....

Hugs,

Anything Goes @ LHOSM

Hiya,

I'm a bit late with my card for 

Lovely h'Anglar or Sweet Magnolia

this time the theme is

'Anything Goes'

so no excuses, everyone can join in!

I made a twisted easel card, the spotted paper is by SU and the black paper is by BG.

Magnolia doohickeys used are stitched lace, flags and foliage. 

Pearls are from my stash and the ribbons with gold bells are off chocolate reindeer from Christmas.

I coloured Magnolia's Dancing Tilda in Italy using DI's, added shabby white frantage and added white acrylic paint here and there.

Our wonderful sponsor this month is

The Ribbon Girl

offering one lucky winner this prize

Please pop over to the challenge blog to check out my teamies awesome creations and I hope you can join us.

Thanks for visiting my blog, as always!

Have a lovely week xxx

Hugs,

Summer @ LHOSM

Hi everyone!

Yes, I am still here, although I have been quiet for far too long, I bet you thought I was never going to do another post! Lots has been going on in my life lately, and still is, not least of which the preschool where I worked had to close down at Easter through lack of funds and I had a very hard time coming to terms with that. The children there meant a lot to me and I will miss them so much. I have got another job in a nursery which I started last week, but it's only filling in for others when they are off. It's taking a bit of getting used to as it's totally different to where I worked before but on the plus side I don't get homework so I do more hours a week but still have a couple of days off and can leave it at the door, so to speak.

So, with all that going on I haven't had a lot of time to craft and when I have had time I haven't been in the mood. I'm finally pulling myself around though and was able to join in with 

Lovely h'Anglar or Sweet Magnolia's

next challenge which this time is all about

Summer!

What an excellent theme, I could have taken this one in so many different directions! 

I decided on a giftbag, and started by choosing one of my favourite colour combos at the moment.....blue and yellow.
