Happy Birthday Just Magnolia plus new Whimsy Sentiments!

Just Magnolia

are celebrating their 1st Birthday today! 

I can't believe they are only 1, it seems like they have always been there!

They have a fabulous sketch for this week's challenge and are also holding a blog hop, both with fantastic prizes from Simon Says Stamp

one of my favourite stores now I am on this side of the pond!

I used this very sweet Tilda from Magnolia, she is quite old now but still my favourite although I have decided it is time to get some of those new ones, aren't they adorable?

The sentiments are from Whimsy Stamps designed by our very own talented teamie Ann Vento aka Raindrop Echo Designs.  I have used her sentiments all week as there is now something for every occasion, I may never need buy another sentiment!  Although I am sure when Ann designs some new ones for us I will certainly be using them again!  Ann has a new challenge blog starting this Sunday 18th April using Sentiments called Sentimental Sunday!  Can't wait!

You can get Ann's Whimsy Digital Sentiment stamps now in the

Whimsy Online Store

along with Whimsy Stamps Newly launched Digital Range!

The leaf flourish stamp I used around the edges of the circles is also a Whimsy Stamp, it is part of a set called 'spring stepping' from Crissy Armstrong's Carousel Horse Collection. 

The paper is Basic Grey Porcelain and the roses are from Prima.

Hope you are having a good end to your week and hope you all have a fabulous weekend!
