Party Lucy

Hello Bloggers :)

I hope you are all well...

It's been a long time since I've shown you my "first" card, but you know what it is to be a mother & wife, and it's not always easy to find what busy women call "time for myself". I often feel like crafting, but I can't in the moment... and I'm always frustrated. On the other hand, I feel so inspired when I really have the opportunity to display my craft supplies on the dining table. I don't know if I would be able to create something "that would satisfy me" if I had to force myself.
Anyway... here I am with a new card to share using the pretty "Party Lucy" stamp.

I am entering the following challenges (first time for me, have never done this before) :

Tilda "Petit Rat de l'Opéra"

Hello everyone,

First of all, I want to apologize in advance for my poor (but useful) way to speak english.
My mothertongue is french.

Let's begin with my very first Magnolia card.
This card woulnd't exist without the precious advices of Silvie Zahradnickova.
She's my biggest inspiration, I love her artwork so much !

I don't have a scraproom =/ So I have to craft on our dining table while my hubby is watching football on TV :) And when it's not a football evening, I don't always feel like crafting. And besides, I need time and I'm never home before 7 pm. And in the end, it took me two weeks to realize this card.

Well, my first Magnolia card is finally achieved, I hope you'll love it as much as me :)
