Anything but a card…

That’s the theme for this fortnight’s Magnolia Down Under Challenge. The sponsor for this fortnight’s challenge is

and if you win, you get a fabulous prize from them

It was so much fun to step out of the box for this one and make a little *Get Well* tin. The tin itself, as well as the gorgeous Crate Paper, came from a kit Madonna got at a Craft Show make and take for me. (Thanks Mad!) Ok, enough blather, here it is:

You could use these little tins for all kinds of fun gifts, or to keep for yourself to store pretty things in :)

Ok, hope you are all having a wonderful Sunday. I will catch up with you all soon,

Really simple…

….because I still haven’t found my Mojo :) Mama asked me to emboss some roses in different colours for her and I happened to think that silver on Basic Gray would look awesome…and I think it does.

Of course my photo doesn’t do it justice!!! I also used some Pale Plum, Perfect Plum and some of my hoarded Rich Razzleberry for the base. The ribbon is the Razzleberry polka dot. That’s about it really…I told you it was simple :)

Hope you are all well and happy and having a wonderful Wednesday,

The swine flu stole my Mojo

I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if everyone had stopped visiting me, I’ve been gone so long :) That swine flu is NASTY and it took ages for me to start feeling better. It wrecked my back too, with all the coughing. I’m such a sook, aren’t I? But I have made something…not that I think it’s blog worthy, but it’s all I’ve got right now ;)

When Mad was here a few weeks ago she was looking through a catalogue (not sure from where….Target maybe?) and she saw this colour combo and challenged me to use it. Tangerine Tango, Night of Navy, Kraft and Bashful Blue. I’ve used the Artfully Asian stamp set, the Eyelet border, Large Oval and Scalloped Oval punches and some Navy ribbon. The buttons are from Mama’s stash (she has some awesome buttons!).

Like I said, it’s nothing special, but it has kind of got me back into the swing of things and I hope that I can get back into it soon. I hope you are all having a wonderful Father’s day and I’ll see you soon.
