Goodness me what a job I was having to post this! I hope Mr Blogger isn't going to be this awkward again (notice I said Mr as anyone that awkward couldn't be female!! (Sorry Kevin!)
I'm actually feeling really sorry for myself as I failed to make a Magnolia DT yet again this week! Tilda is my all time favourite stamp and I seriously need an excuse to use the 100's of Magnolia stamps I've collected!! But alas it's not to be.

Today I have 2 different DT cards to post and I couldn't decide which was going to be first so I'm putting them both in the same post! (Can't have favourites lol)
First up my regular weekly post for
MOVING ALONG WITH THE TIMES
who have a fabulous theme this week
Stitch Up
I love this cute little Sassy Cheryl image and have been itching to use her, my stitching as you can see is 'faux' I did buy a mini sewing machine but a LOT more practice is required before I can actually use a card I've stitched!
Then as it's the first of the month
HECK OF A CHALLENGE
have a brand new challenge theme
50 Shades of Autumn
Neither of these makes were what I had originally planned to post for either challenge, but Lisa beat me to it with her make for the Heck of a challenge and as I'd made the same folded flowers with the exact same paper a quick change of plan was required! lol
My card, using 'Dreads' from the fabulous Saturated Canary is probably at least 42 shades short of the required 50, lol but as its for a 50th birthday I'm covered! (just joking you don't need all 50!)
I bought the 'Papermania' capsule collection paper pad for £1 when we visited the 'Mandy's at the Craft & Hobby Store in October. The Marianne flower florish was also from there.
Follow the links and head over to BOTH challenge blogs for lots of stunning inspiration from both teams and all the details you need for each challenge can be found on the respective blogs.
Thank you all for stopping by, I'm hoping to actually make something 'just for fun' this week - no DT work allowed!!
Love 'n' Hugs Laurie xx

Your colouring is always so beautiful and you designs are really inspiring. It's such a shame that you didn't make it onto the Magnolia DT.

Good afternoon my lovely Laurie.
WOW - you are really spoiling us today with stunning makes - love the sweet adorable image of the first one - I'm off to have a browse when I finish here lol!!! And of course anything SC combined with your colouring talents can only be a good thing.
The Magnolia DT's are really missing a good thing not picking you - I would have you on a DT in a flash :o)

Hello again Laurie, I'm so pleased that I get to have another look at your gorgeous cards so that I can say a big thank you for taking part in the Fab n funky Challenge this week

Two stunners here.
Stitch up card is fabulous in the pink and brown, super cute image and love the flowers. Just bought a few more SC images tonight as she has offers on but didn't spot this one, wish I had.
Not a Saturated Canary fan but you seem to find really lovely images from them, but you are a classy lady, so you will find the classy images. The colours are fabulous and your flowers are simply fantastic. Brilliant card.
