Mixed Up Saturday Featuring Michele's Magazine Review

Lilian's Beautiful Sweetpeas

Good Morning Ladies,

I hope that you are all enjoying the cooler weather today, 34 degrees here yesterday afternoon, it clouded over in the afternoon and we did have a few spots of rain, it never came to anything though, so I think the fan will be on full tilt tonight.

I hope Lilian doesn't mind me sharing this beautiful vase of Sweet peas, I can just imagine the amazing fragrance, mine are way off flowering, so I hope you don't mind me sharing yours Lilian XXX

Just look at my beautiful model !!! It's our Soph modelling my first real sewing project, It's lined and has an opening for a filter too.  I have to thank my lovely friend Sue for her tuition and another lovely friend Lilian for the pattern. I love it and have already made another. 

Michele's  Magazine Review

Hi Ladies


Simply Cards & Papercraft has a great set of stamps & Die free this month

.

Here’s some ideas of what’s inside the magazine.

Here’s the first feature that uses the free gift. Some great ideas.

Interesting article explaining how to use water colour crayons.

Mixed media article-perfect after seeing Karen’s gorgeous card this week.

Bold inspiration here using Colour block backgrounds,

Metallic Embossing makes these cards look fantastic, perfect for Christmas cards too.

Don’t these easel cards look amazing? They’d certainly stand out.

Great article on dry embossed die cutting-we could all probably try this technique.

Second feature using the free gift-showing that the stamps can be used for so many occasions.

Embossing with stencils-this article shows us how we can more use out of our stencils.

These window gatefold cards would certainly look impressive.

Wax resistant Embossing-what a great look it creates.

That’s all for this week so
Happy Crafting

Love Michele

Thanks so much Michele, such a great magazine review, in fact I went out and bought the magazine after I was finished typing up your review.

One of the features has been featured in a magazine before, the Colour Block feature was in a magazine a couple of months ago, which shows that they must share articles.

There are some fantastic features and some amazing inspiration throughout the magazine.

Thanks for taking the time to write it XXX

I hope that you all have a lovely weekend,

Love and hugs to all of you,

Sandra
