For her fur trim I am rather pleased with myself i mixed some doodlebug flock with some doodlebug glitter, both white!! added just a pinch of martha stewart crystal clear and diamond sparkes and have made a totally yummy glittered flock!!!
The ribbons I must give a big shout out to Ribbon oasis  http://www.ribbonoasis.co.uk/ they sell the most amazing range of quality ribbons, at great prices!!! periodically they do a "ribbon share" where they send you some delicious ribbons and all you have to do is send them pictures of your creations!!

just magnolia - 2x2

Wow good evening it feels like ages since I have posted!!!
Well big excitement today!!! my magnolia stamp club arrived!! Wooo Hooo!! and it's really cute!!! the summer one was the first I bought, and I was a little disapointed with it, but this one is really sweet!! So if anyone out there is waiting on their stamp club kit ... they're on the way!!!
this week over at just magnolia the challenge was to do things in 2's
I have stamped a classic Edwin (this was made before today!!) I have already made a topper out of the new kit!! (for a sneak peek, check out my ebay listings later this evening!!) I have coloured him in with my copics, and added 2 x sentiments, 2 x hearts, 2 x swirls and 2 x cherry blossoms!
Ooooh I feel all christmassy!!
see you soon!
Hugs
