Picked up the girls from MIL today, they had been to stay since Thursday.... they had a fab time :) and we had a fabby kid-free weekend... we were going to go away but decided to stay at home instead....... and enjoy the peace and quiet.... had a wonderful few days and feeling nice and refreshed ;) - went out for some lovely meals, I didnt cook once.... (even DH cooked once..... swwon:P) went on a couple of trips to the cinema and saw Hancock (soooo funny)

and Batman (much better than I was expecting)

and also went to Manchester for the day and went to the Body Worlds exhibition... it was fascinating......

and Pirate Nellie

Here is Pirate Nellie....coloured in Derwent water colour.... a simple quick card - well I say quick - as quick as colouring a Nellie can be..... which for me isnt that quick :P

Fave Magnolia Card....

I think this has to be one of my fave cards I have made... it was a Thank you card for the Nursery where DD went - it is sitting Tilda - handcut out - and sat on the bench.....it has cloud background,lots of sparkles, and a cute butterfly and ladybird too :)

Another Magnolia card :)

Here is the second Magnolia card......

It is Tilda with baby.... made as a christening card for my niece, but I then decided at the last minute to make her a christening card with the Jolees Christening gown I had which was simply divine ....

The card has sparkles in the middle of the flowers..... and I stickled the gown of the baby too :)

Magnolia Card....

Here is the first Magnolia card ..... it is Tilda on a horse, coloured using derwent watercolours, stickles to make it sparkles in places..... and DCWV background papers, I found these papers really hard to work with as they are SO busy.......

She has returned :)

Yes, I have returned, a very long absence with no internet so no blogging.... couldnt face blogging using my phone....... BUT I am here now..... hurrah.................. I have been busy making cards..... and have a few to post on here for you all :).......
