Butterfly Wishes

**

What do you do when you cut Tilda's antennae off...

you make new ones of course!!!

After colouring and decorating it came time for cutting---

The new Magnolia Chasing Butterflies collection

(available from Summer at Roses on Paper)

is absolutely gorgeous, but so hard to cut out around the

antennae, soooo a little bit of craft wire did the trick.

**

Well yet again the girls at Just Magnolia have come up

with another fun sketch for this weeks challenge.

Thank goodness I live in Australia and have 24 hours on

most of you, cause I really cut things fine this week

getting my card made and posted before the dead line.

hmmmm - maybe I need to look at my time management

skills a bit better!!!!

ROP Challenge - For the Boyz!!!!!!

**

Frogs & Snails and Puppy Dog Tails...

That's what little boys are made of!!!!

**

**

It's challenge time again at Roses on Paper

and it's back around to my turn to host it.

**

We can all make pretty cards with ribbons

and bows and flowers all around, but when

it comes to masculine cards I'm so out of my

comfort zone.

**

So my challenge for you is to create a totally

masculine card - no ribbons or bows, no satin

or lace, no pink or purple, no diamonds or pearls.

This card is to be One For The Boyz!!!!!

**

Summer always has wonderful prizes up for

grabs and this week is no acception.

For all the challenge details, a look at all the

Design Team sample cards and your chance

to maybe win a great prize, head over to our

Roses on Paper Challenge Blog for all the details.

Nothing But Magnolia's!!!!

You've gotta love a challenge blog dedicated soley to

Magnolia's.

Just Magnolia are now in their third week and I'm just

loving joining in these fun challenges.

My new set of Butterfly Magnolia stamps arrived this

week from Summer at Roses On Paper and I couldn't

wait to use them, the only problem was deciding which

to use first - the whole collection is so darn cute.

I've tried to add a bit of debth to this gorgeous little

Magnolia Butterfly.

After stamping two images I cut the wings out of one of

the images, coloured them and added glitter to the edges,

a little silicon under each corner and she's flying.

ROP Challenge - Folder Card

**

Do you ever wonder what happens to all those

handmade cards you send out each year - are they really

appreciated by the people we send them to???

Today I dropped in unexpectedly to see a friend

hadn't seen in a couple of months.

I was blown away with amazement to see not one,

but six of the cards I had sent to her family

for various occassions over the last few

months sitting on display on a wall-unit.

I couldn't believe it - when I asked her what that was

all about she told me she loved them all so much she

couldn't bear to take them down -

and that to me makes all the hard work worth it!!

**

**

With that said, lets get started on the next challenge at

Roses on Paper.

This weeks challenge, hosted by the wonderful

Anki, is so cool. You'll be making a Folder Card,

just in time to slip a gift voucher inside for

Mother's Day - and so very practible for any

other gift giving occassion throughout the year.

**
As usual, the very generous Summer, is offering

a wonderful prize for the lucky winner - so head

over to our Roses on Paper Challenge Blog for all

the details on how to participate in this fun
