Magnolia Ink Card, La La Land GDT & unclaimed candy!

Hello peeps,

I've got a bit carried away having another sort out in my craft room today, I only intended tidying my desk but couldn't stop once I'd started. I am seriously running out of storage space but I love having a sort out & a good tidy up as I've discovered four stamps and two dies that I had forgotten about and haven't a clue how long they've been sat in a tray waiting to be opened. It's nice to discover stash I'd forgot I had it's like having new all over again :)

Today I have two cards to share, the first is featured in the Simon Says Stamp advert on the back cover of the new Turning Leaves Magnolia Ink. It's such an honour to be given the pleasure of making cards for the advert so a big thank you to our very lovely Steph for asking me :)
