You Won't Want To Miss This!!!!

German Glass Glitter Giveaway!!!!!!
Here is what Meyer Imports has to say....



I am a HUGE believer in Give - Aways. They are fun, a great way to promote your business and a great way to get your readers to provide feedback.
But they are also risky. Kind of like, "what if I threw a party and no one came" risky, so I normally just work with other blogger to do give-aways to their readers, and then I thought, heck, I got alot of readers. (a few hundred a day at least) and shouldn't I reward those kind and loyal customers? YES I should!
So, if you leave a comment to this post, maybe something clever, something funny, or even just, "send me free stuff" it tells me you are out there! At the end of this month (next Tuesday) I'll have one of the ladies at the shop blindly pick one commenter to get a bottle set of our Glitters. A little of the best colors.
For free. But please, help make this a "party that everyone wants to attend, Tweet, Facebook, Reblog, whatever, let people know of about this one. Yes, I know, the more people who enter, the smaller the chance that you will win, but won't you feel good knowing that you made me happy? Hmmmm. You do want me to be happy? Otherwise I'll feel like the guy with all this wonderful glitter and no one to party with.... So Sad. So let the fun begin and get ready to comment and (drum roll please) and take a look below on what you just might win!

So why you still drooling over the picture.....go on go check it out HERE !!!!!

Totally Gorgeous Princess

Hi Everyone
Hope your all having a lovely Monday, it's terrible weather here in Leeds!!!
So onto my card.
What a Totally Gorgeous Princess she is..... i have used My Minds Eye Papers, i just love these.
I have used Cardiology flowers which i have inked and glittered and then added a cute little Rose to the middles and one big gorgeous curly Mulberry Rose in the right top corner.

Tilda is coloured with Promarkers and has a touch of sparkle to her dress with Stickles Glitter and little Gems in her tiara.
Tilda is stamped onto a scalloped oval and  mounted to a die-cut plaque which is inked all around with Cerise Pink.
There is a pin decorated with beads attached to the flowers.
In the top and bottom two corners there is a gorgeous oval pearl.
There is also a cute circle sentiment stamped onto Bazzill card stock which reads " Little princess ".

This cute little girl is really growing on me.....i think i may have caught the same addictive bug as the rest of you Magnolia lovers!!!!!!!

Hope you enjoyed looking.
