Madcap Manor

Good morning! I have some sad news and some happy news.  I am stepping down from all my Design Teams, including Dream Valley .  It was my very first DT, back in 2011 and I still get a kick out of talking about my 'teamies!' I want to thank them all for their kindness and creativity. Consequently there is a DT Call  - details are on the blog.  Anyone can apply, whatever level of crafting experience you have.  The DT members are lovely, they are always ready to help a 'newbie'! Now for the happy news: I have a new granddaughter! Fiadh (Fee-a) was born last Friday in Ireland and here she is: So tiny! So cute! Now, finally, here is my card for our new challenge, which is to Use your favourite colours.   Our sponsor is  Colour of Love  and I used the cute 'Sugi Summer Fashion' digi. The card base is a pop-out gatefold card from  This video  by Sam Calcott of Mixed-up crafts.  It looks complicated, but it's actually quite simple to make....

 Evening, all!  Dream Valley Challenges  is back after our simmer break, and our new theme is Christmas in July.   Our sponsor is  Colour of Love .  Heather sent us a couple of images - I used  Peace on Earth Angel . I used a dull gold cardstock for the mats.  The background paper is from an old Christmas pad by First Edition, it had glitter on all the red flowers.  The sentiment is a die-cut from my stash. Check out the inspiration pieces created by my teamies! Thanks for looking and take care! love Mags B x
