Colouring on Canvas - gift bag

Hello my dears,  I've been missing in action for a few days due to my adorable twin Grandsons having their usual school holiday sleep over with us.  Lots of fun, treats, baking, playing and dvd watching until the wee hours.  It was great fun!!!  but I'm oh so glad they are home now. lol 

I spent yesterday with my darling Daughter at a crop where we got lots of pages finished in our scrapbooks, made some wonderful new friends and had lots of giggles going down memory lane with pictures from the past.

Anyway I'm here to show you another of my Canvas gift bags.  This one has been made for a monthly swap group and is winging it's way to a very sweet lady who sent me the most wonderful altered photograph frame.  I've filled it with little goodies which I'm sure she will enjoy.

Tilda with small gift is from the Falling Leaves collection, she has been stamped with memento cocoa ink and then coloured with Copics.  The butterfly stamp is a Unity stamp from the Webster page collection called Dream Big and has been coloured with Copics as well.  The sentiment is a Lili of the Valley stamp.  Flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.  The lace has been hand stitched onto the bag and the sweet pearls and gems have been added using my Professional Touch gem heat glue gun thingy that I bought last year. This is the first time I've used it but I love the effect.

Anyway enough from me for now.  I hope you are all having a wonderful Sunday and that the sun is shining for you where ever you are.

I would like to enter the Following Challenges.

My card using the die cut below

Dt Abc Challenge - T for Two

Hello my dears, it's time for another Abc Challenge and this fortnight the letter we are using is T which is Two of something, we would like you to use 2 of something on your creation and tell us what it is you've used.  I've used two die cuts to mount my image and I've also used two Die cut Starfish from Marianne Designs.


I've kept my card very simple as I really wanted to showcase this adorable digital image from The Paper Shelter, she is called Beautiful Mermaid, isn't she a doll sitting on her little sand bank and swishing her tail.  I coloured her with copics, added a bit of tulle and a couple of accent die cuts. The banner was cut out of a sheet of paper and then glued to some card to give it a bit more strength.


Our Sponsors this week are the wonderful

I look forward to seeing all your wonderful creation over the next two weeks.  I hope you all have a wonderful day.

Christmas !!!!!

A very good morning to you all,  I hope you are all looking forward to your weekend.  The sun is peeking through the clouds here this morning so I have high hopes of at least a dry day which will allow me to spend some time in the garden doing a little tidying up.

Anyway, my card this morning is my first Magnolia Christmas card, I know!!!! it's only July, but I thought I'd get them started and put in my Festive card box so I'm not panicking nearer the time.

I've used the limited edition Tilda with skates from last year and masked her onto the Noel accessory stamp, both have been coloured  with copics.  I've also used the fir tree stamp and cut out two of the trees and sat two of the sweet very mini Magnolia fairy's on top. The little rosette holding the sentiment is hand made using my hougie board.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend ahead and the sun shines for you where ever your are.
