Tilda & Vintage Violet - The Ribbon Girl GDT & Addicted To Stamps DT Cards

Good morning lovely peeps,
I have a long post today as I have two cards to share, one of sweet Tilda & one of Vintage Violet so I'll get straight down to the important stuff.

Firstly the lovely Mary from the Ribbon Girl invited me to be a Guest Designer for The Ribbon Girls Magnolia Only Challenge, thanks so much for inviting me over to play Mary :)

I most definitely picked the right month to be a GDT as this months's challenge is

ADD SPARKLE

Ooooh my favourite lol.

The copic colours I've used are -

skni - E11, E01, E000, E000, R12, hair - E44, E43, E41, wrap - W4, W2, W00, stars - YR24, YR21

The papers I've used are Pion, the sentiment is by Paper Make Up & hopefully I have linked everything else in Inlinkz and not forgotten anything!

 Here's a few close up's of those lovely sparkly embellies.
I tried to add my goodies from The Ribbon Girl in Inlinz but for some reason it doesn't want to play nice so here's what I used -
Sparkly button, Memo Pins, Beaded White Stamen, Pearl & Diamante embellishment, Diamante snowflake stickpin,  Kort & Godt ivory roses & Crysanth, Cream Lace

There are two fabby prizes up for grabs, a £10 voucher for The Ribbon Girl & also 1 x Magnolia stamp from Magnolia Sweden.

I haven't entered challenges for ages, occasionally I link them but never seem to get around to actually entering them so I'm attempting to make more effort and get my blogging back on track!

 I have used some of Simon Says Stamps gorgeous new Summer release exclusive products. I was like a kid on Christmas morning when I open up the box to see so many pretty dies and cute stamps especially as I really wanted a pretty butterfly in this release and I got it, actually there are four, thanks so much Heidi x

The lovely green cut out leaves are also one of Simon's new exclusive dies and the sentiment is another new product in the exclusives range & in all honesty I love them all and you will be seeing more of them from me very soon.

Sorry for picture overload in this post peeps & I still have one more I want to share as today is the first time I have blogged since the horrific murder of one of our brave soldiers Lee Rigby on Wednesday. 

I am sure like everyone else I stared at the TV in horror, not quite believing what I had just seen & heard. I've displayed the Support Our Soldiers (SOS) ribbon & Help For Hero's badges in my sidebar for as long as I've had my blog showing my support for friends & family either serving or who have served in the British forces.

Jodie's friend Zack is currently on tour in Afghanistan & he was so upset & angry when Jode spoke to him on Wednesday night, Zack said the mood in camp went from upbeat & optimistic to one he hopes he will never experience again so they really need our support now more than ever. 

There is a collection in Lee Rigby's name for Help For Hero's if anyone wishes to donate to this worthwhile cause.

Rest in peace brave soldier.

Thanks for stopping by
