Flower Girls...

I'm in an ATC swap on a group I belong to.  They had to be 3 ATC's with a theme. 
Seeing as I just received my wedding Magnolia stamps order from Bizzy Bec's I thought I would do flower girls! 
Two of the Maggie girls i have used are from the new wedding collection and the other (holding the tulips in her lap) Is from an older collection that I got from Bizzy Bec's customers choice order.
I have given each of them a nice flower quote.

here they are:


They are all coloured using copics.
Paper is kaiser.

I see MAd for MArkers are calling for ATC's so I will make another one and enter one in to their challenge.

one of those weeks....

You know the ones when there are just not enough hours in your day to do what you want and when you do get a spare 5 minutes you are just too physically and emotionally exhausted to be creative.  Well thats my week so far, and then I get asked to make a baby card.  Sure I say as I just cant say NO..its not in my nature I swear, although at times I wish it was...lol.
Ok Baby girl card..no probs...when did you want it.....umm tomorrow.  YIKES!!!!  Ok.....this was Sunday...so sunday night, while holding my eyes open with toothpicks (I swear) i finished this card off.  I have used the sketch from sketch saturday from about 3 weeks ago!!

Paper is an old MM one that is a diecut paper and was keeping because I love it, but I have such a stash of all these 'good' papers that i seriously do need to start using them up.
CS is from Stampin Up...not sure on the colours.
Image and sentiment is H&S.
Leave were cut out on my cricut and roses are from SPotlight.

Magnolialicious Birthday bash Challenge 4

Yay I have eventually gotten around to getting something done for the Magnolia-licious birthday bash.
I have joined in their fourth challenge which is to make an easel card with a stamp that has yet to see ink.

i have to admit I have a few of them...lol.  But you know how it is you get your favourites and you just seem to use them again and again and yet others, which you still love, but somehow they just get shoved to the bottom and you neglectthem.
Anywho...enough waffling here is my card!


Now its a bit plain for me, butthe person it is intended for is not a frilly, flowery person and I know they would appreciate it more as it is.
Tilda is coloured with copics
Paper is Basic grey's Cappella range (just gorgeous!!)
Pearls and lace are from my stash.
Butterfly is my new Joy Craft cut and emboss dies'.
