I know I have posted this stamp before but it is one of my favourites...its an old PSX Botanicals just called 'Hibiscus'.
Coloured with Prismacolor pencils. Backing paper is from my stash and I have lost the front cover so cant tell you what it is!
I love the Tessatina Memory Box die which I have used across the centre and on the side I have used a Cheery Lynn die which I have cut about a little bit, used a S.U. border punch on the other side of the image and added a few pearls..of course..

What a fabulous day we all had crafting with Jenny from Stamping Moments and above are the projects we made. My favourite item was the gorgeous picture frame which is now hanging on the wall of my craft room. We were given the Bright Blossoms stamp set so I cant wait to use it again.
Please pop over to Jenny blog and have a look, Jenny also does some wonderful stamp classes.
I am sorry to say that our class for November is now FULL if you haven't already put your name on the list....I will of course take names just in case someone cant make it....

Finally finished my new Tote bag....first saw this bag on Ruth Ann's blog and asked her about the pattern and she very kindly gave me the link and the pattern arrived within 2 weeks from the USA...
The fabric I've used had been sitting in my cupboard for a couple of years as I intended to make a lap quilt with it but it never happened so decided it was time to use it and so pleased I did as I am really happy the with end result.
As you can see it has two huge pockets inside and a small one on the outside..of course you can make the pockets any size you want or add more inside.
We have our Stampin Up day with the lovely Jenny Moors tomorrow so my bag is packed and waiting to go....
Thanks for looking

Had a panic this morning and suddenly realized I hadn't got a card suitable for our challenge for our craft club which this month is 'something that moves'...so this is my take on the challenge....a bike and flags...
Cant tell you what the bike stamp is as it very old and is an unmounted one so no name...papers are from my scrap box...corners are from Whimsy Stamps and I've also used two punches from Stampin Up for the sentiment.
Right off to my patchwork group soon....
Anne
No card to show you today but I have taken a couple of pictures of the quilt I have made for one of my granddaughters...she loves fairies and mauves. She sleeps in a bunk bed so this is not quite a single bed size. I am now starting on another fairy quilt but this time it will be all pinks and it will be a for a single bed and then after that I have to make another quilt for my little grandson....
I must say I have enjoyed doing a bit of sewing as my hands no longer allow me to knit but the quilting is mostly done on the sewing machine.
Also I have another project on the go and hopefully will have a picture to post at the week-end...
Back to making cards today as its our monthly club meeting tomorrow so still have some sample cards to make..
Hopefully by the end of the week things will be back to normal in the craft room!
Thanks for popping by....
Just love this little lady she is called AVA and is a freebie image on the Saturated Canary Blog.....
I've used both Copics and primsacolour pencils to colour her, backing papers are from DCWV pad called 'Linen Closet'... The lace ribbon has come out a blue colour but is fact an a turquoise so looks a bit odd on the photograph.
The swirls are Memory Box dies, butterfly is a tonic punch, corner is an EK Success Punch.
I wont be in my craft room again now until later on Monday as we have 3 of our grandchildren staying as from early tomorrow morning until Sunday evening...think I will need to lay down in a darken room then and will be totally 'cream crackered'..lOl...lOl..
