FTL106 and Scrapbook Boutique Magnolia Challenge

Hi all, thanks for popping in again!  I have been hard at work (lol) with a 2 in 1 creation, I am using the Clean & Simple 106 layout with the Scrapbook boutique Magnolia Challenge.  As I don't have any Magnolia Stamps I was lucky enough to have a wonderful friend who has, who kindly lent me hers- thanks Elisa!!!
I set about colouring this little number while my husband was installing our new dishwasher and in the process creating a pool in our kitchen- Arrrrrrrh!  I needed to concentrate on something rather than killing him- there are so many benefits of crafting!!!!!  Anyhoo on to the finished product......

This one did not go together as well as what I would have hoped, but in the end I just needed to leave it alone or it would never get finished!

I will add the recipe later, I must go and pick up the girls from school

thanks for stopping by

Clean and Simple 103

I have finally managed to fit in some Christmas cards using the Clean and Simple 103 layout.  I was given a day off from work on Monday (I think it was granted due to hard labour!!) and decided to spend some time with my friend Ange and our crafty stuff!  With Robyn's Christmas Card Challenge in mind we set to work quite quickly to maximise our time!  I think I ended up making about 9 cards, taking my christmas card total to 19, I did use some of my UFO's (un- finished objects) from last year and one from quite a few years ago!

I will post them soon.   Here are a couple.
