Magnolia vs Stampavie ~ week 1 & Cute Card Thursday ~ Challenge 35

This is the very first challenge on this blog for Magnolia vs Stampavie and is a sketch challenge done by JayJay and sponsored by Donna ( Crafty Krafts ).

Cute Card Thursdays challenge 35 is Fairies + Angels. This week they would love to see either Fairies or Angels on your cards and they have a fantastic prize which has been kindly donated by Helene at Alota stamps.

I've had this card in my head since the beginning of the week, but just not found chance to make it until this evening. I intended to make it this morning but the main PC or Andy's PC's crashed in amazing style with flashing lights and sirens! It had an almighty virus (antispyknight) that he spent hours trying to remove manually yesterday only to have to format it this morning! With the main PC out of action it meant that I had no printer to use until all the operating system and all the drivers had been reloaded. So I had to result to doing house****... sorry ladies! This is how bored and stir crazy I was .... I started by doing 2 candles but then I couldn't finish those cos I needed the printer, so I moved on and cleaned the cooker ..... moped the kitchen floor, lounge floor, Ellies floor once I'd changed the bed sheets and dusted her room and then the spare bedroom floor! I went to my parents house to give them both a haircut and then back home to prepare and cook tea. Whilst continuously loading the washing machine and tumble drier! Anyway, eventually got to sit down and make this card. CS ~ Crafts Central, DP's ~ dark brown, Stacy M and lighter paper ~ Raspberry Road Designs, Leaves Of Time, image ~ Magnolia Edwin and leaves, coloured with Whisper Markers, Glossy Accents on leaves, swirls cut with Cuttlebug, sentiment ~ Rubber Romance.
