Moving Along With Brand Spanking New

Good Morning lovely bloggers I hope the sun is shining on you today, it certainly hasn't been here! I'd like to say Hello to my new followers, I've been a really bad blogger at visiting you all but I will try harder in the future! I'm really excited today as I made the Top 3 over at Magnolia Mania and those of you that know me will know how much I love my little Magnolia stamps!

It's Thursday already which means new challenge time at
I'd like to thank everyone who entered last week we had some very cute and cuddly cards. Don't forget to visit the main challenge blog to see if you were a winner.

This week my lovely teamie Pami is hosting and she has chosen a theme of
'Brand Spanking New'
This could be a 'New Baby' a 'New Job' a 'New Home'
So you have lots of options, you may even have a different one to these, Pami also has some gorgeous blog candy on offer for her blogaversary

We are sponsored this week by
The prize is a £10 Voucher to spend in store and with lots of new stock arriving there's plenty to spend it on

I chose to make a New Baby card as I actually need two of these, one baby is already here (Hello Henry James) and one has a couple of weeks to go, can you believe I'm going to be a 'Great Great Aunt'!! I'm not old enough!!
This is Bentley, isn't he Fab! I love this sentiment it makes me laugh every time I see it lol He is from Bugaboo, who have some really funny images to choose from. I've kept this really simple as it's for a boy, a nice plain ribbon and three little buttons ooh and I cut the big scallop edge with my new Die Namics Die, I love it...I first saw it on Mary J's blog. I've even done the inside of this card which I always mean to but hardly ever get around to!

I hope you all get time to play along with us this week, be sure to check out the fabulous makes from the very talented DT on the main blog page.

Thanks for looking and to those of you that do, for your comments
I'll be back in the next few days with some special birthday candy

Love 'n' Hugs Laurie xx

Sue B said...

Hi Laurie, bet you have been busy! especially with ice cream! it's been very hot and humid here. Those ink dusters are at
http://inkylicious.co.uk/
It was money well spent, I use them a lot - You get set of 3 and I tend to use one side for pinks and other end for blues etc.
Was supposed to be going away for few days Mon-Fri but my mum and dad aren't so well, so it's all a bit up in the air!! don't know if we're going or not!! Could do with the holiday not had one in 5 years!!!
Take care
Hugs Sue xx

Sue B said...

Hi again,

Forgot to say what they were!!! LOL - they are brushes for using with Tim Holtz Distress Inks or any similar ink. You can get subtle background effects or blend colours together.
