Wee Wittle Peggy

Today is Wee Wednesday day!!!  A chance to use these adorable stamps from Diana at Magnolia-licious.

WEE 104 PEGGY
44 DH SWIRLY LACE BORDER DIE

Isn't she a cutie with her basket of flowers and pretty little bluebird?!  I've colored her with Promarkers and layered on an embossed paper.  The card is placed on a frame I made using the Swirly Lace Border Die.  Have added an additional Wee bluebird along with wishing you a happy, happy day from Penny Black on the banner.  Simple, but didn't want to overcrowd the sweet image.

 I love the Magnolia stamps and dies, but it is really nice to add this Wee Stamp collection to the mix!  Cuteness abounds that's for sure!

Don't know about anyone else, but many times I need to have some inspiration to get started with a project.  Most times the ideas I start with are not any thing like what I end up with, but it gives me a jump start.  Usually I've gone off onto another completely different direction!!!  :)  The Magnolia-licious Design Team is going to be showing some ideas for you on Mondays with the Mini Magnolias and Wednesdays with the Wee Stamps.  We hope it will help give you a starting point so you can go off on your own direction!!!  :)  This is in addition to our usual fun hops and challenges.  Find all the information HERE at Magnolia-licious and Wee Stamps Challenge Blog.  We hope you will join in on the fun!

Diana at Magnolia-licious  has a wonderful selection of Magnolia Stamps and now the Wee Stamps.  Don't forget to check out all the fantastic dies she is carrying too!  Yup, my latest addiction.  Amongst other things!  Also check out the great specials along with the store credit you always get too!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by and I always appreciate your comments!  Thank you for taking the time because I know how busy everyone gets!

Enjoy every day!

Pixie Tilda on the Rooftop

 I really like this challenge that Dear Norma has come up with for this month's Challenge at Magnolia-licious Highlites!!!  Something hidden!!!  So many of the Magnolia images have a place where you can tuck a hidden message behind it.  Interactive cards are always fun to make and receive!

The Magnolia images I used are from Magnolia-licious:

340 PIXIE TILDA

509 SNOWY ROOFTOP

31 MINI DOILY DOOHICKEY DIE

26 MB MARIETTA BUCKLE DIE  (Cut in 4th and used in corners)

837 PS DELICATE CHAIN DIE

Merry Christmas is the Holly Post from the 2009 So Jolly Collection and the Christmas Story Paper, sorry, out of stock right now.   A couple of great substitutes would be 702 A MERRY CHRISTMAS and MINI PAPER PACK SWEET CHRISTMAS.  

Coloring is with the Promarkers.  The Celebrate is part of a Hero Arts Stamp. Spellbinders circle dies were used for the corners and medallion.  Ribbon and pearls for a little extra!!!!

Be sure to check out the wonderful specials Diana has at Magnolia-licious!!!  I like good deals and you will find them there along with great customer service!!!!  Love the bundles!!!

Hope you will put on your thinking caps and join us in the Hidden Challenge this month at Magnolia-licious Highlites.  Diana always offers a very generous prize for some lucky entrant!  Click HERE to get the details!

Thanks so much for your comments and appreciate you stopping by!

Hobbie the Bear

Oh, I thought Hobbie was such a cutie!!!  He just arrived yesterday and I couldn't wait to put him on something!!!  I happened to have a little frame kit sitting out and thought he would be perfect to peek out the frame/window!  He is colored with Shinhan Touch Markers.  I added a piece of paper from the Magnolia Mini Wedding Collection pack inside the frame, added a ribbon, a few flowers, a welcome baby (SU) circle and a darling silver baby bottle charm.  Thank you Paola for the charm, yes, I used it right away......perfect timing!!!!


#407 Hobbie the Bear is available right now at Magnolia-licious, but hurry because he seems to run out of stock quickly!!!!  I can understand why, he is soooo precious!!!!

Enjoy every day and thanks so much for the comments and stopping by!!!  It is such wonderful encouragement and I so appreciate it!!!!

Tilda and the Beanstalk

Thought these two stamps would be so fun to color and they were!  I've colored them with Promarkers and Touch markers.  Kept it simple since there is so much going on with the images anyway, but did add some 3D work.  I've cut out Tilda, the feather, flowers and leaves and popped them up to get a little dimension.

Happy May Day everyone!!! The most talented Suzanne Dean as hostess for this month's project for Magnolia-licious Highlites May 1st challenge has chosen Summer Theme with Twist of Colors!  Figured my summer theme was gardening and used blue, orange and yellow for my summer colors.

These are from Diana at Magnolia-licious:
3045 BEANSTALK TILDA
456 BEANSTALK
23 ANTIQUE LACE BORDER DOOHICKEY DIE

Diana offers a special price and a store credit!!!!  She has also put these two together with a really special price in the mini size!  Be sure to check them out and all the other great products she has at her store!

Hope you will join the challenge with your own Summer Theme project!  All the details are at Magnolia-licious Highlites.

Enjoy every day!!!  Thanks for stopping by!!!

Luscious, Lovely, and Lacy

I hope you are enjoying the Lots of Luscious Lace cards that the Design Team is doing for this months hop!  I'm sure you saw something gorgeous from Angie if you are coming from ScrapGirl. If you came own, you can start at the beginning at Magnolia-licious Highlites!

When I heard the theme, I knew I wanted to get out my DooHickey dies and then chose Circus Tilda because she has all the lovely lace on her dress to match the dies!  So I nestled her amongst the lacy flowers and dragonflies!

All these are at Magnolia-licious:
#367 CIRCUS TILDA
#8 DOILY FLOWERS DIE
#9 DRAGONFLIES DIE
#18 ROSE LEAF DIE
#22 VINTAGE FLOWERS AND LEAVES DIES - Leaves
#23 ANTIQUE LACE DIE
#24 DREAM TAG DIE
#34 WILD STRAWBERRY AND FLOWERS - Flower 

Tilda has been colored with Promarkers.  Tried a number of times to get the color correct, but the peachy color is pretty close, but the gray is really more of a soft brown gray color.  It is Sahara Sand for the Stampin' Up! aficionados!!! 

Can you tell I'm kinda addicted to dies!!!  Added half pearls for the centers of the flowers.

Please check out Diana's store Magnolia-licious for all Magnolia products and also she is offering a variety of other wonderful dies.  Fantastic service and fantastic people!!!  She also carries a couple of real unique products which are the No More Shims Embossing Mat and the Stay Put Craft Mat.  I use the No More Shims mat not only in my Cuttlebug for my embossing, but also use it as a stamp mat.  Really helps to get a nice clean even image.  The Stay Put craft mat is different from the regular ones out there because it has a rubberized coating on the back that keeps it in one place and helps keep it from curling up on the edges.  Love it...ink and glue wipes right off and you can use it for heat embossing too!

Now you will want to hop on along to visit Cabio at Cabio's Craft Corner!!!  She is the sweetest little gal and so very talented too!  She will have something pretty and lacy for you to see!!!  Hope you will join us in the challenge!

Thanks for stopping by!  Enjoy every day!

100% Baby Boy Card

Made a baby card for a very nice gal I met just last year!  I understand her hubby is a soccer player, so thought Soccer Edwin would be the one to use for her card.

A link to the Magnolia Soccer items is HERE.  I did use the mini's on mine.  They are out at the moment, but the regular size and other soccer items are available.  The Winner Takes it All Collection is such a great set of images for all those sports fans and loved the matching papers that go with them too!

I've colored with Promarkers and Edwin is masked with the goal background behind him.  Since I always seem to have things popped up, I did cut out the soccer ball and popped it up for some dimension.  Then decided to stamp and cut out a few more soccer balls for embellishments.  The tag is SU and I cut the word boy out with Cuttlebug dies.  The corners are some pieces cut out of a Cuttlebug die and the papers are from my stock pile!!!

Be sure to check out Magnolia-licious!  Diana is constantly getting in new products as well as replenishing, so there is an outstanding selection of soooo many fun things to add to our collections!  The new Prince and Princesses collection has such darling images that I'm anxious to play with too!  Please stop by and check out the great discounts, specials and new things Diana and her great team have to offer!!!

Thanks for stopping by!!! 
Enjoy every day!

Zen Viking Tilda

Did I catch your interest with the title???  Well this certainly was a card to make for the fun of it!  When I saw there was a Viking Tilda, even though I am not a sports fan, the state football team is the Vikings and the color is purple and gold.  Surprised I knew that Lin???  :)   I had seen zentangling before, but Diana has been talking to me about it and how she enjoys it, so I had to give it a little try!  Oh boy, as if I didn't putz enough on a card!!!  She is right though, it is rather relaxing and quite addicting!  Ya, like I need another addiction too!!!

So anyway, I've used this new fun image #302 VIKING TILDA along with the #500 EDWIN'S KNIGHT CASTLE.  Over at Magnolia-licious, Diana has these not only discounted, but you get store credit besides!!!

First I colored with Promarkers and then I tangled with a fine tip black Micron pen.  I just divided the dress in some wavy sections and then just started doodling.  I've done this in the dress, her "horns", on the sword, the bushes and added lines to the roofs too!

Yes, I do need to change my blog header!!!  Hopefully soon!!!

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy every day!!!

Mother to Be Tilda!

That fun Ruby suggested we do a baby theme for our Magnolia-licious Highlites challenge for the month of April!  To go along with that theme, I used the new Mother to Be Tilda!  Now she is so cute and adorable and I surrounded her with flowers before she is only surrounded by diapers and bottles!!!

I pulled out some of my favorite DooHickey dies to go along with my card and gift bag/box.

You can find these great Magnolia things plus other fun things at Diana's Magnolia-licious store.  She has a fabulous selection besides discounts and store credit along with free shipping with qualifying purchases!!!  Wonderful selection and wonderful people!!!

Here is the list of things I used on my projects:
279 MOTHER TO BE TILDA
26 HEART SWIRL DOOHICKEY DIE
29 SWIRL BUTTERFLY DOOHICKEY DIE
34 WILD STRAWBERRY AND FLOWERS DOOHICKEY DIE
36 VINTAGE DAISIES DOOHICKEY DIE
44 SWIRLY LACE BORDER DOOHICKEY DIE
49 SO WRAPPED TILDA LACE FOLDED TAG DOOHICKEY DIE

Here is the card with Tilda colored with Touch and Promarkers.  I think this Tilda will also make a nice portrait image too. 

This little gift bag was so easy to make with my handy dandy Scor-Pal!  You can find this pattern for an Make a Wish Window Box (mine is without the window) along with a ton of other inspiration patterns over at the Scor-Pal site HERE!

I've added some little pearls and organdy ribbon along with using a Cuttlebug embossing folder.

Please join our challenge for a chance to win a nice prize from Diana!  And besides entering the challenge, you will have a baby project ready for when you need it!

Enjoy every day!

Tilda with Daisy and Cuddly Siblings Cards

I've been working on cards that are kept rather simple.  Have a hard time leaving the backgrounds plain and sometimes use the embossing folders, but this time I wanted some clean lines to add a little design.

This new Sweet Crazy Love collection is so versatile and I'm lovin' all the images!!!  You can find the collection here at Magnolia-licious, and I can bet you, you will love more than one too!!!  As always, Diana has a terrific deal for you too!

Here is what I used on this card:
MINI #225 TILDA WITH DAISY
#17 SNOWFLAKE AND MISTLETOE DOOHICKEY DIES-Snowflake for Leaves
#34 WILD STRAWBERRY AND FLOWERS DOOHICKEY DIES-Small Flower

I've added the design lines with the Scor-Buddy.  A quick and easy way to add that little something to a plain background.  Have used the Spellbinder oval dies and corner punch my dear friend Marion sent me from Australia....sorry there is no name on it!  Pearls were added for accents along with the white gel pen again.

 

Yet another one that is just sooooo cute!!!  Again I didn't want the extras to overpower the darling image!  I think the Dream Tag, which comes with two pieces, sets off the images nicely.

More fantastic items from Magnolia-licious:

MINI #234 CUDDLY SIBLINGS

#22 VINTAGE FLOWERS AND LEAVES DOOHICKEY DIES

#24 DREAM TAG DOOHICKEY DIES

#34 WILD STRAWBERRY AND FLOWERS DOOHICKEY DIES-Small Flower

Again I used the Scor-Buddy to create the embossed lines on the left side.  So simple yet I think it adds a lot.

Now there has been some discussion as to whose shoes are whose, but I just color them all the same!!!!  It is up to you to decide!!!  :)

The images on both cards are colored with Promarkers and Touch Markers.   I have found these minis to be VERY EASY to color!!!  With any of the brush or fine tip markers, it is a cinch to color and blend.  I usually use three colors with the Promarkers and even with the small areas, there is room for that too!  I am fortunate enough to be able to get together with stamping friends often and rather than haul a bunch of things that I probably won't use, I've started bringing stamped images and my color mediums only.  Nice.......ONE container to haul!!!  Realistically I know I wouldn't get many whole cards done anyway and this way I can relax and enjoy the coloring process yet still get to see what others are working on and visit too!  Then with the CAS card style, it is so easy to cut them out in circles or ovals, do a little layer stacking and pop them on a card.  Well, okay, I usually can't leave it alone and have to add at least a few flowers, but as you can tell, it makes for a fairly easy card to put together.  

I know my blog header needs to be updated to the season, but I'm hoping people look at the red flowers and think Valentine's instead of noticing the holly on the printed paper in the background!!!  :)

That's all for now.  Thanks for stopping by!

Enjoy every day!!!

Four Sweet Crazy Love Cards

Four cards at one time???!!!!  It's that last minute pressure to get things done that helps me!!!

The Mini Sweet Crazy Love images are not only so cute, but many of these will also be able to be used past Valentine's day too!

This card has:
MINI 116 VALENTINO
20 ROMANTIC LACE BORDER DOOHICKEY DIE
22 VINTAGE FLOWERS AND LEAVES DOOHICKEY DIE-Flowers
27 MAGNOLIA TREE DOOHICKEY DIE-Leaves
BOW EASY

I cut the Romantic Lace Border in pink card stock and used the hearts from that to embellish too!

Also used the lacy circle and plain circles from Spellbinders,  Cuttlebug embossing folder and some organdy ribbon.

This card has:
MINI 235 TILDA WITH LOVE LACED SHOES
15  POINSETTIA FLOWERS DOOHICKEY DIE-Leaves
20 ROMANTIC LACE BORDER DOOHICKEY DIE
21 ROMANTIC TAG DOOHICKEY DIE
22 VINTAGE FLOWERS AND LEAVES DOOHICKEY DIE-Flowers
MINI SWEET RAINBOW PAPER PACK

Also used circle dies from Spellbinder, ribbon and some half pearls.  Tilda is colored with ProMarkers and Touch markers.

Isn't she sweet?  She is just sitting, pondering what fun things she should get next!!!!

The fun products on this card are:
MINI 3062 TILDA WITH PIE
31 MINI DOILY DOOHICKEY DIE
34 WILD STRAWBERRY AND FLOWERS-Flowers
44 SWIRLY LACE DOOHICKEY DIE
BOW EASY

Also used a circle die from Spellbinders, a couple of Stampin' Up! punches, a Stampin' Up! word stamp, Cuttlebug embossing folder and ribbon.  Paper is Magnolia, but sorry, I can't find the name of it.

Can't forget about Edwin!  Another sweet little stamp that could be used year round!  Would be easy to change out the heart to have him holding something else.

Made the embossed background with the Scor-Buddy!  How easy, yet really adds a lot to a background!  All I did was score every 1/4".

Magnolia things used on Edwin's card:
MINI 117 EDWIN WITH STOLEN HEART
19 MINI ZIG ZAG AND SCALLOP DOOHICKEY DIES
MINI WEDDING COLLECTION PAPER PACK

I really like these Zig Zag and Scallop dies because they give just a little bit of design.

To finish it off, used  Stampin' Up! star punches, Spellbinders circle dies and some half pearls.

All of the images are colored with ProMarkers and Touch markers and have been stamped on Bee Paper with Memento Black ink.  For the mini stamps because they are unmounted, I use Tack and Peel on my acrylic block and put my paper on the No More Shims embossing mat for my stamping mat.

Please check with Diana at Magnolia-licious for all your Magnolia desires plus lots of other great products too!  Awesome products, awesome deals, awesome service and awesome people!!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I always appreciate comments if you have the time or inclination!!!  Thank you!!!

Enjoy every day!!!

Sweet Crazy Love Valentine Blog Hop

Now this is a collection that there is no way to pick out a favorite!!!  All of them are just so adorable!!!

Now if you've come here from Mindy's blog and saw her awesome tote bag, you have come along the hop in order, if not, you will want to start at the beginning HERE.  Can you believe how beautiful Mindy colored Tilda on fabric!!!!!!  Magnolia-licious Highlites is where you will find all the details and order for this fun hop.  My design teammates have some fantastic projects that you won't want to miss a single one!!!

I've colored Tilda with Promarkers and Touch Markers.

Find all wonderful Magnolia products HERE at Magnolia-licious:
#240 TILDA WITH WRAPPED HEART
#9 DRAGONFLIES DOOHICKEY DIE
#19 MINI ZIGZAG AND SCALLOP BORDER DOOHICKEY DIES
#31 MINI DOILY DOOHICKEY DIE
VINTAGE CHRISTMAS PAPER PACK

As can be expected, a couple of things are out of stock right now, but there are lots of others to choose from and Diana is always getting new stock in too!  Shop Magnolia-licious for great products, terrific deals, awesome service and especially nice people to work with!!!

This doily die is designed to use with the minis, but I thought worked nicely with the regular sized Maggies too!  I've layered this onto a Spellbinders circle and heart die cuts and backed with a white circle.

The Mini Scallop border die is so handy for just that little bit of edging and the size works with both regular and mini Magnolia images

Then I had some paper left over, so decided what is Valentine's day without a container for candy!  This is a modified version of the milk carton pattern.  I'll have to add the dimensions later, but if you have the milk carton die, you can make it from that.

I've used from Magnolia-licious:
MINI #3025 TILDA WITH HEART CHAIN
#9 DRAGONFLIES DOOHICKEY DIE
#20 ROMANTIC LACE BORDER DOOHICKEY DIE
#34 WILD STRAWBERRY AND FLOWERS DOOHICKEY DIE
#36 VINTAGE DAISIES DOOHICKEY DIE
#49 SO WRAPPED TILDA LACE FOLDED TAG DOOHICKEY DIE
VINTAGE CHRISTMAS PAPER PACK

The new So Wrapped Tilda Lace Tag is really nice because it makes a tag to fold in half, so you can put something on the inside.  Or you can cut it in half and make two tags at once!!!

Now you will want to continue on the hop to that sweet Barb's blog where she has also created something just tooooo darn cute!!!

Thanks for hoppin' along!!!  Hope you will join us in creating a Sweet Crazy Love Valentine and enter it in the Challenge!

Enjoy every day!

A Sunny Double Fold card with Tilda as a Star

Starting fresh with a brand new year!  My very best wishes to all of you for the coming year.  I want to thank you all for stopping by my blog and being a part of my passion.  And a thank you also to those that take up their precious time to leave comments.  They are all so greatly appreciated and it encourages me tremendously!

Today I’m sharing my card made for the Magnolia-licious Highlites January Challenge Anything Goes!  Our Hostess this month is the most talented Cheryl Rowley and she has left it wide open for us to create whatever our little hearts desire...as long as it contains at least one wonderful Magnolia stamp (or more of course)!!!

A nice sunny yellow and REALLY green will certainly make us think of spring coming so that can make the snow and ice more tolerable!!!  Tilda is colored with Promarker and Touch markers.  I’ve experimented a little with using dots for shading and also the blender pen to remove a little ink for the highlights on her jumper.

Here are the things (and links) I used on my double fold card that I got from Magnolia-licious:

258 TILDA AS A STAR

17 MISTLETOE AND SNOWFLAKE DOOHICKEY DIE-/Snowflake

27 MAGNOLIA BRANCH AND LEAVES DOOHICKEY DIE- Butterfly 
34  WILD STRAWBERRY AND FLOWERS DOOHICKEY DIE-Tiny Flower

Did you see the leaves came from the tips of the snowflake?  I do putzy, but even I wasn’t going to put individual leaves on the wreath like that.  These are in nice little groupings of three on a stem.

Have also used a couple of Spellbinder dies, Cuttlebug embossing folder and an Inkadinkado stamp.

This new Sweet Crazy Love collection which you can find HERE at Magnolia-licious is one of the best and I’m sure is going to be soooo popular because we will be able to use these for so many occasions and because they are just so darned cute!!!  Can’t wait to get into making Valentines with them!

Magnolia-licious has the best collection of these and tons of others plus check out all the dies that Diana is now carrying!!!  Woohoo!!!  Remember too, awesome products, awesome service and awesome people at Magnolia-licious!!!

Thanks for stopping by!!!  On to another tremendous year of Maggie goodness!!!  Please join us in this challenge at Magnolia-licious Highlites!

Enjoy every day!!!

Happy, Happy Day!!!!

Happy, happy day!!!  If you haven't noticed, this collection is as adorable as the last!  Here is just one of the cards I've been working on.

This is one of the new stamps from the Sweet Crazy Love Collection from Magnolia-licious!  Don't ya just love that hair??!!!!

#282 TILDA SENDING LOVE LETTERS
#4 LEAF AND SWIRL DOOHICKEY DIE
#22 VINTAGE FLOWERS AND LEAVES DOOHICKEY DIE
#23 ANTIQUE LACE DOOHICKEY DIE
#15  POINSETTIA FLOWERS DOOHICKEY DIE

She has been colored with Promarkers and Shinhan Touch Markers.  I've also used Spellbinders dies, SU embossing folder, a Penny Black word stamp, with some stickles for a little glitz accent.

Be sure to check out all the fun new items at Magnolia-licious.  Diana has so many new and exciting dies in the store besides the new collection with the minis on the way!  Awesome selection, awesome service and awesome people!!!!

Thanks for checking in!  On to actually getting more cards made with the others that I colored!!!

Enjoy every day!

Pearlized Christmas Angel

One more Christmas card made.  Anyone know what happen to the time???!!  I've used the pearlized Stardreams cardstock.  Love how the dies cut this card stock and also how it embosses!

The best place to get your Magnolia products is Magnolia-licious!  Awesome selection and wonderful people!  And now she has also added some fantastic dies to the collection!  Diana offers the best deals she can and you can even build up a store credit for your purchases!  Check everything out HERE!!!

For this card, I used MINI #1010 CHRISTMAS ANGEL and colored her with ProMarker and Touch Markers.  You can find her plus the Sparkling Tilda combo special deal right HERE!  Also used the DooHickey #22 Vintage Flowers and the Memory Box #16 FROSTY BORDER  plus a Spellbinders tag and circle die.  The embossing folder is Cuttlebug.  The crystals are Mark Richards.

I am quite a fan of dies anyway, but love how these new Memory Box dies cut such a fine detail and then fall right out of the die.  Diana is also carrying some of the Cheery Lynn dies AND some Marianne Dies!!!  Wonderful shapes to add to the DooHickey dies!!!

This is a very busy time of the year, but want to remind you of the fantastic Wrapped Up Holiday challenge at Magnolia-licious Highlites.  You have a chance at winning some fabulous prizes, and you wouldn't want to miss out!!!  So it will be worth it to take the time to enter a project and you still have time!  Click HERE for all the details!  Check out the post above it too because the Snowflake Count is also still available too!

Off to finish some more projects!!!
Enjoy every day....no matter how hectic they are!!!  :)

In My Thoughts

This card started because I had a few left over pieces from another project!  White and shimmery paper is rather difficult to photograph!!!  The printed background paper is SEI White Elegance.  It was given to me by an especially nice person!!!  Thank you!!!! :)  It was sooo hard to cut into because it is so pretty, but I'm finally using it!!!!  The paper is white with an almost platinum metallic look too.  GORGEOUS!!!!  So I matched it with Star Dreams paper which really doesn't show up in the photos.

I've entered this into a Dare To Get Dirty 11 Challenge at Splitcoast Stampers.

Did you know you can use alcohol markers on Star Dreams????  I knew you could use the shimmery Cryogen White, but hadn't thought of the using the Star Dreams.  Used the Rich Cocoa Memento Ink pad with some ProMarkers and Touch Markers for a nice soft look.

The Tilda is MINI #3081 Tilda with Hanging Heart!  Isn't she sweet??!!  I also used the #26 Heart Swirl DooHickey Die.  I believe the die is on re-order right now.  You can find all the Magnolia products at Magnolia-licious HERE.  Diana has a large selection and besides being really nice, has fantastic service!!!

And look I even did the inside!!!!  

I know we aren't supposed to just collect things, so decided to pull out a few things I haven't used or not for a while anyway.  For the printed paper, I used a Cuttlebug embossing/die, the borders are a MS punch, the flowers and leaves are EK Success punches, the flower centers are Punch Bunch mini sun punch, the corner punch is Creative Memories and the word stamp is Hero Arts.  Also put in some pearl drops with the Viva Decor Pearl Pen and a little Stickles on the wings.

My other project I'll have to wait to post since it is for a special occasion!!!  :)

There are some great projects entered at the Magnolia-licious Highlites Challenge of Paper Only!  You still have plenty of time to come up with a Paper Only project to enter too!

Thanks for stopping by!

Enjoy every day!!!

Tulle Skirt Tilda Heart Easel Card and More Minis!

Have been wanting to do a heart shaped easel card for some time, so finally got around to doing it.  This is for the Magnolia-licious Highlites Challenge for February with the recipe being Hearts, Pink, White, Silver and Green if needed for leaves.  Even if we didn't want to make a valentine, this theme would still work for a wedding card too!

I used the adorable #210 Tulle Skirt Tilda.  Please let Diana know at Magnolia-licious if you are interested in getting her.  She is from the 2010 Wedding Collection.  Tilda is colored with ProMarkers and Touch pens and I used a variety of dies from Spellbinder, the scrolls and leaves on the bottom part are Marianne Design dies.  Also a couple of Punch Bunch punches were used for the flowers and leaves.  The embossing folder is a Tim Holz design and of course added white gel pen and pearls.  The Valentine sentiment was from JoAnn's from the $1 bin!  The colors on Tilda actually match better in real life then they show on the photo.  I've also used a metallic mirror silver for the hearts and scallop oval.

My husband's birthday is on Valentine's day, but I don't think I'm going to get by giving him this one!!!  Going to have to work on something in John Deere green I think!!!

Recently have been working on tags with some more of the mini images from Magnolia Mini World for Diana to take to CHA.   They have been so fun to do and really enjoyed doing them!  Loved doing the ones that can be used for Easter.  Check out Little Bunny Tilda and the little accessory images!!!  Sooooo cute!!!!
