Good Morning guys, as promised yesterday I'm back today with a card I made for FUN! Remember that's what this craftin' thing is all about! No DT deadlines, set images, themes to follow etc etc..... lol And it doesn't get much more fun, for me, than my lovely Magnolia stamps (maybe Saturated Canary is up there too)! So out came the old stamps that I still hadn't played with from years ago and this little cutie forced her way to the top of the pile!
This card has all my favourites on it! maybe a few too many on one card lol I can't decide, as much as I love this style, I'm not convinced I can actually do it!
I adore the curly embellishments from Kort et Godt my lovely Jill sent me when I couldn't get them (I have since bought 4 more packets from Ribbon Girl) the little berries from Magnolia I have in every colour (I just can't bring myself to part with them normally) The La La Land heart banner (couldn't get it anywhere it was out of stock, so I sent to America for it like you do!) The gorgeous paper is from LOTV, I've been dying to use it and I think the natural jute from Ribbon Girl goes perfectly with it and all my WOC flowers.
So there you have it, a card made for fun, my first this year and hopefully not my last as it was FUN making it!
I've decided to give up trying to get on a Magnolia DT or even GDT and just enjoy my Maggies!!

Ah yes, roast pig, the traditional Christmas dinner! Seriously though, I love your card. Colours and colouring are just brilliant and I love all those bits and bobs to decorate. You really do have an eye for coordinating things together. And so nice too that it was a card just for you. Love it, Jx
Hi Laurie, this is an absolute stunner hun, I love it. The colours and image is fab and so much wonderful detail. Just gorgeous!!
Hugs Sue W.
What a gorgeous card, Laurie - love the shades of brown with kraft and the white really makes it pop!
Stunning, Laurie...you have used beautiful embellishments and your colouring is brilliant as always.
I know what you mean with having no time to create a card for 'fun'...but I think I am also a bit addicted to being a DT...

Morning hon...
You're so right... I think we tend to lose sight of the fact that this should all be fun, and not for all these deadlines!! We should start a 'just for fun' blog... where anyone can enter anything, anytime... hmmmmm..... LOL!
Now onto your fab card... love it! Gorgeous embellies and layout... and I personally think that the little porker had something to do with you choosing the image.. definitely wanted to be picked! Love how you've done an oval shape in the DP behind the image too.. very effective!
Big hugs

Well I'd like to see you get this in a 6 x 6 envelope?
Not usually a fan of kraft but it looks really great here with the white, Fabulous colouring and are you sure that you couldn't get anymore fabulous embellies on here?
Superb card.

Wow Laurie, just LOVE this one... as you well know I'm a more-is-more girl, and i you can't bung it all on a Christmas card when can you?!
Love that bunting (well worth the postage from the US I say, going to keep my eye out for it though!), and the paper is lush... can you tell I like this one!

Hi Laurie, ooh making a card just for yourself - can't remember what that's like!!! I will have to try it one day!
Gorgeous card - I think you completely nailed this style of card. Love the colours and swirly flower/pearly things and if I could do this type of card - I'd use them too!!
