Just Magnolia–Add a banner and flooding!

This weeks Just Magnolia is hosted by the lovely Suzan and she has set the challenge to add a banner.  Out came the Whimsy dies and stamps for this one.

Coloured with distress inks and markers.  Skin: Tattered Rose, Tea Dye and a mix of barn door and tattered rose for the cheeks; Hair (markers only) – I dotted antique linen, walnut stain and vintage photo in places for texture; pinks – I mixed spun sugar, victorian velvet and the new raspberry limited edition to get the pink shade I wanted then went over with weathered wood to deepen the shadows.

And the inside following the layout on the front sans flowers and pearls,

The picture links are at the bottom of the post.

And now for our drama (yes this week really can’t get any better!!), thank goodness it’s nearly over ….I really don’t want another like this.  The torrential rain we had here yesterday caused such terrible flood damage.  Thankfully we were okay (just by about a half an inch!!) but my friend and her neighbours were not so lucky.  The flood waters were over the top of our wellies in places and quite a few flooded houses too. This is one of the neighbours houses, bless they had just had new carpets fitted last week, and now all is under water.  We spent most of last night baling out water, OMG I didn’t think so much rain could fall in such a short time!

Rain rain GO AWAY!!!

Have a fab weekend
