I actually mananged to make two cards yesterday - my first in weeks. I should have really been making ones for the challenges and swaps but I was desperate to use my new magnolia animal stamped images - they are fab!!

Would love to see your magnolia stamps which ones do you have??? The animals are sooo sweet! Are the cards on your blog?? Will have to try and find it as I don't think I follow many blogs from on here!

Furrypig - I don't actually own any magnolia stamps - all the images I have are pre-stamped ones from ebay. I bought the whole range of their new animal/jungle stamps for 5.75 - the item number is 270410865696. Or she sells them in individual packs:

Rusty - great card for a boy!! I love the embossing and the liverpool football, (we're liverpool fans in our house).
Flourgirl - I've only just checked my email and noticed the sale on poppycrafts - I nipped on there quick and bought a lot of the flowers - I wish I'd seen it earlier as there's not much left now! I will also be placing an order at creativecraftworld soon - I need to stock up on my bazzill cardstock!!! They also have a 12x12 stack of DCWV baby boy papers that I've been meaning to buy for ages!!

Glad to be of help Melissa I thought the email was a bit late too. I have resisted ordering as a want my money for some more nesties

I have spent all afternoon doing my box for Rusty's Altered item Challenge over on Crafty Place. I will put the photos on there later but for now you can see them on my blog. I hope you like it as much as I do, its stood in pride of place on my desk.
