Just Magnolia Week 11

This weeks challenge is another fabulous sketch from Bev.

This is the first of my August cards ... i still have one July card left to do which is for my VBF Vicki ... really struggling to make a card for her 40th, so have avoided making it so far, but i can't for much longer!

CS ~ Stash

DP's ~ All scraps (I'm now trying to use at least one piece of scrap paper per card)

Image ~ Magnolia, RAK from someone ... Carole i think! Coloured with Whisper Strokes and watercolour pencils.

Stitching ~ Sewing Machine

Lace, Flowers & Pearls ~ Stash

Sentiment ~ made up from Pink Petticoat Tiny Tag and Rubber Romance Friend stamp.

The inside was decorated with what paper was left and a couple of those gorgeous flowers i had from Diane.


And lastly Declan came last night to show us his very first tattoo! Bless him ... i told ya he adored our Rylee!

Beth Update: I kidnapped her Wednesday night and spent 2 hours shouting at her in my car ... things have slightly improved since and we're taking baby steps at the minute. Its just the lies none of us can cope with. Sister's BF don't help either, keeps saying Beth should have a check for Bipolar Disorder ... he seems obsessed with her children having some sort of mental health problem. Told my sis to tell him if he can't be supportive then to keep it shut. Yesterday he'd very nearly convinced my sis that perhaps Beth was Bipolar .... think he watches too much Eastenders personally ... looked the symptoms up online and phoned sis and told her that i suffered with half a dozen of the symptoms so i must be too!!! Yeah, i know i'm mental pmsl!
Looks like he's done the same and interpreted them to suit. When she text and told him she was just a spoilt child his reply was "21st century teenager i wouldn't have got away with it when i was her age" ... perhaps not, but he's making up for it now .... !
