Doh!

I managed to make a couple more cards today before "the" crime was committed! I had a card to make for my Dad's birthday and a final one for my nursery commissions.

CS ~ stash. DP ~ RAK. Image ~ RAK (but as always i can't remember who sent it me) coloured with Whisper Markers. #1 ~ Hippie Chic Alpha Die. I actually love how this has turned out, even though i've used very little to make it.

CS ~ Tab, part of my birthday pressie. DP ~ Linda, again part of my birthday pressie (will add the photo later) Peel-off ~ stash. Image ~ Diane, coloured with Whisper Markers and Sakura Stardust pens.

Everything appeared to be going really well up until this point. I then decided i'd have a butchers at the Just Magnolia challenge. "Ooooh" i think, "pink and green ... another one of my fav colour combo's and the chance to use the lush papers that Diane sent me for my birthday" I knew exactly which stamp i wanted to use .... I had a 21st birthday card i needed to make for my friend Paula for her niece. I rummaged through my stamp drawer ... briefly in a panic, cos i couldn't find the stamp i wanted ... and there she is! I ink her up, colour her in, decide that i'll use the previous weeks sketch too, cos i didn't get chance last week with my birthday celebrations. I carefully stitch the papers and start gluing and sewing everything in place .... when out of the blue the realisation hits me .... i'm making a card for "Just Magnolia" .... using a ****** Rubber Romance stamp!!!!!!!! I mean, what a ****! Doh ... quite clearly the peroxide has taken affect and i am a "bimbo". Had even carried on making it, telling Andy what challenge it was for and still not realised my faux pas. Could this be my age ... or a i just stupid?!

The card looks lovely though ... don't it lol?! I think it turned out quite well. Infact, i love it.
