 It's "La-La Land "Inspirational Monday" and this week the theme to inspire you is

*****ALL WIRED UP*****

On my card I used one of the NEW releases images

 MARCI with LANTERN

 and is available HERE.

I printed out a few images of Marci with Lantern so I could use the lantern she is holding to make my  banner across the top of the page.. I then attached them to wire that I had coiled by wrapping around a toothpick.

hi everyone...I think most would agree that the latest Magnolia stamps-Collection "Princess and Princesses"  are just fabulous....

On my card today I have used Tilda catching Stars amd the Magnolia Castle. I fussy cut Tilda out and replaced the stars with some Hearts. 

I teamed the images up with my Memory Box Dies- Orchard Tree Frame and Wrought Iron Gate from Bizzy Becs Online Store...plus a little bit of machine stitching and some lace to finish off my card..

RECYCLE/ALTER SOMETHING

I went with the recycling bit and used gold ribbon from a wedding I went to a little while ago that was on the Bonbonniere box that we all given... I just loved the colour so off I went collecting all the ribbon no one wanted, knew it would come in handy one day plus I used some new gauze that was in a first aid kit... best go replace that.... if someone needs it then it wont be there....

********** DARLING MARCI***********
 is the name of this cutie
 and she is available as both a rubber stamp and a digi-stamp, HERE and HERE.

*************************
..some info....When you pop on over to the shop you will find Darling Marci "minus" the shower/bath hat.  The Hat is something extra I gave her so she would not get her hair wet when she is in the bath.
