This is a card that was inspired by Amy Wegener from Stampinstuff. I just loved these high hopes stampes as soon as I saw them but I wasn't sure if I would use them. Then I saw Amy's version on her blog (http://www.stampinstuff.bogspot.com/) and I just had to have a go. Isn't he just so cute!!!!!! I think he would look lovely in purple as well. Thank you for the inspiration Amy.
I have actually had a whole day to myself today (well 6 hours of it anyway) and I had planned to spend the whole time in my craft room but I have just looked at the clock and I now only have 2 hours left (boo hoo). I have unfortunately spent the day saying "oh I'll just get this job done then I'll go and get crafting" and you know how the story goes - one job leads to another job and now 4 hours have gone by. So off I go right now to get going. I wonder what I can come up with in 2 hours. hmmmmmm where will I start. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
This is a card that recently saw on my travels on the world wide web and I just had to have a go. I will put the credits up when I find it again lol (I often get lost on the www and who knows where I end up sometimes) anyway this will be one of our projects at this months papercrafting group - I love it and it is easy to do :)
These are my latest trial - some tissue paper flowers. I am very happy with them. I started off using white tissue then tried some floral pattern then some lacey gold - and i think all three have worked well. 
I started by wrapping some lace around a brad, pushing the brad through the lace to secure it at intervals then I layered the small, medium and large flower shapes from my sizzix flower layers #9 die. Then it is just a matter of scrunching each shape seperately until all of the shapes are scrunched then you just unfold it all. I used about 7 or 8 layers of tissue paper for each flower.
This is a wedding card that I have made with the tissue paper flowers and of course one of my beloved magnolia stamps.

A close up of how soft these flowers look - they are so pretty.
This is a card that I whipped up for our local show here last week. I had cards in my stash for every catagorie except the wedding one - so I threw together this one lol this also has handmade flowers but these are the ones I uploaded a while ago made with punches.
