A Challenge Combo & Belles 'n Whistles GDT call!

I had this card lying for a while and hadn't posted it on my blog yet. I saw the challenge over at Anyone for Anya is 'Autumn Colours' so I figured this card fits that challenge perfectly!
The Roses on Paper challenge blog has the same challenge for us, 'Fall Colours', so I'm entering this card to that challenge too!
They also have a GDT call for 'Belles 'n Whistles' going on so I figured I'd give it a shot! Fingers crossed!!



This is probably my last post until my move. I'll be back in 2 weeks!!
You'll still see hoppin' around blogland, lol, cuz my laptop is the last thing that'll be packed, that's for sure!!
Can you imagine being disconnected from the internet for 2 weeks?!! I sure can't, YIKES!! Talk about a nightmare, lol!
So, my laptop is staying with me until I'll take it with me to our new home with my own two hands. ;o)

My first Anya..!!

I made this card using the Anya stamp my daughter won at 'Club Anya' a little while back, and of course mama get's to use it too! ;o) I'm so happy she won this stamp, isn't 'Superstar Anya' the cutest? I love her outfit, and what I love most about these stamps is the fact that, no matter what colour you give her hair, Anya always looks gorgeous! So cute!
And yesterday the stamps that I bought at the opening of the new 'Greeting Farm' website finally arrived, and they are even more adorable IRL. They where on my wishlist for a long LONG time, I'm so happy to finally have some of these stamps! So you're going to see a lot more 'Greeting Farm' cards on my blog from now on!

I made this card for the 'Roses on Paper' challenge blog, which is nice and easy (to use a punch and to combine with a sketch challenge of your choice!) and I used the sketch from the 'Sketch Saturday' challenge blog. Hope you like my card!

Just Magnolia #12 - So charming..

The challenge this week is So Charming - we want to see some charms on your creations so dig your metal out and get creative!
This week our sponsor is Simon Says Stamp who have kindly offered a $25 voucher to spend in their store!!


Here's my Just Magnolia card for this week and it's a gatefold card! I saw the Roses on Paper challenge yesterday and decided to enter. It's my first gatefold card and it was a lot of fun, will do it again for sure!
I'm also entering this card into the Cute Card Thursday challenge blog, don't you just love combining challenges? ;o)



When I made the card last night I forgot to add the faux stitching (doh) so I did the stitching today. The first picture is one I took yesterday and the second is a picture that I took today. The colours on the pics look intirely different, freaky huh? Now, I know I ain't the worlds best photographer, but this is really weird, right? Guess it has something to do with the sunlight. The stamp I used is a Magnolia stamp that I bought recently, I love that cupcake, really looks good enough to eat, don't ya think? ;o)


I've kept the card quite simple cuz I didn't have much crafting time the past week, my little girl has been sick so she really needed her mommy! Fortunately she's (finally) starting to feel better and I'll have more time on my hands.
