Challenge 149

Wow Sunday already and here we have another challenge over at Magnolia Down Under
We would like to see Double
Use 2 of the same thing, Image, Button, Ribbons etc
On my card I have used two Doo hickey  flowers on two peach paper flowers combined with two punched butterflies what I did notice is I forgot to put my bling in the flowers before I took my picture so imagine it has some bling in there.
Here is my card I have used Graphic 45 papers this time

having trouble this time of the year with natural light  even my favorite spot seems a little dark

My Quilt

I have been busy trying to get ahead my aim is to finish some projects that I have started, so far I have done very well and am feeling a little positive, as my quilt was started at least three years ago.
next on my list was to paint my bathroom yeah and that is finally done, my next job is to paint the rumpus room not sure when I will get to that soon I hope.
so here is some pics of my quilt don't look to close as I'm not what I call a Quilter but I'm fairly pleased with the end result the center was embroidered on my embroidery machine hours and hours of watching a needle go up and down.I spent a lot of years embroidering in some way until I found my paper craft, and designing.

  a few threads need to be cut

I also have something else to share, last Friday night I went up to the study to cut from my doily die, on my big kick, which is basically is a big shot. We heard a big bang and I knew straight away I had done some damage to my machine.
 Saturday my husband and I pulled it apart and found that I had cracked the metal near the handle, so to keep me going until I get a replacement we Steampunked as we called it, the fact that it looked funny was what kept my spirits up.

the blue thing is a G clamp has done the job, I actually like the look of it without its casing.

Just teasing

No I should say a sneak look or a preview for whats coming up in the next news letter at Charlotte's Web
not going to show it all just a couple of cards there is a lot more coming up in the Month of June.

Using the papers from the For Get Me Not Collection

something to look forward to

Time flies

wow its that time again over at Magnolia Down Under
I am sorry I have not posted since the last challenge, just of late every day seems to run into each other and before you know it a fortnight has gone and we very quickly have entered the fifth month of the year.
I work part time in a nursing home, which means my week does not end on Friday more often it starts on a Friday, together with studying, then teaching at the shop combined with designing, days pass quickly. But I will say I do get time to sleep as some ask frequently
well enough of excuses for my lack of blogging and less frequent comments left I just want to say its not because I don't care I certainly do, when I get the chance I go and visit those lovely inspirational works of art created by so many talented ladies out there, who too are soo busy with every day life.
Okay on to the Challenge well this was my choice so here we go
over at Magnolia Down Under we would like to see more than one fold on your card
and here is my creation and I would like to say this card has been inspired by a fellow teacher at Charlotte's Web Belinda who taught a similar card last year in class.

  this is the tag that sits in the back showing both sides, it has 3 Doo-hickey doilies wrapped around it

I have used the Papers from the Forget Me Not Collection if your local shop does not stock these papers and you would like to create with them drop on over to Megs Garden and purchase from her on line shop direct. Why not also check out what the lovely Design Team girls have created as well.
wishing you a lovely week ahead here's hoping I post before next fortnight.

Little Delights

I love little things, with a vintage feel about it if you have not guessed already. I have tendencies to favor different eras I think I am at this time favoring the early 20th century at the moment.
whilst we were away I came across a antique shop where I found my new Treasure. When I purchase such a delight, I cant help wonder who owned this lovely broach before me? what is it story, where did it come from?  how old is it. Now it is going to make some more history sitting proudly on my favorite coat broaches are so more a personal find.

love lace of all kinds
