Magnolia-licious Challenge - Use Vellum

Good morning everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. We had beautiful sunny days here and spent time cleaning up the yard to get ready to plant some flowers and vegetables. We also tore down our pool that was destroyed by the last hurricane we had. So sorry to see it go but we plan to replace it with an inground pool this spring. We are very excited about that.

Well today the Magnolia-licious and Wee Stamps Challenge is to use vellum on our cards/projects.  The DT has some beautiful inspiration to show you.  Here is my project:

I've made a carriage/coach gift basket (pattern from My Time Made Easy).  Perfect to use with this beautiful Tilda in Cotton Dress.  The vellum that I used in my project is the polka dot vellum behind the window.

My designer papers is from Little Darlings - Summer Sorbet Collection. I love the colors in this paper pack. I've embellished with pearls and flowers, some trim,  and tied a bow with pretty pink gingham ribbon.

I've filled my coach with some chocolates.

I will enter this project at the following challenges:

Craft Emblies - anything goes
Creative Inspirations Paint - anything goes
That Craft Place - for a child
Tilda's Town - Once Upon A Time
Crafty Ribbons Challenge - green and pink
Dutch Dare Card Challenge - anything but a card
Hanna and Friends - anything but a card

I hope you enjoyed my project.  Thanks for visiting me today. Have a great day!

Wee Wednesday - Roses Bike Ride

Good morning everyone! Are you as ready for summer as I am? We've had lovely weather this week and there's no better way to spend time outdoors than going on a bike ride.  So for Wee Wednesday today, I pulled out Roses Bike Ride  (currently available at Magnolia-licious) and made a little scene with her using several different dies.

My image was colored with copics and my papers are by Jillbean Soup - Blossom Soup paperpack.

I've used several dies for this card.  My sun is an MFT die and the Oak Tree is by Memory Box which might be able to be ordered for you if you ask Diana.  Also, I've used the Lovely Fence Doohickey die and Grass Doohickey die. I used a punch for the flowers. And embellished the flowers with pearls.

Here is a closeup of this image:

This was such a fun scene to create. I hope you like it and will let me know what you think.


Thanks for spending time with me today. Have a great day!

Magnolia-licious - Mini Monday

Hi Everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend?  Spent most of my weekend watching softball games but we also celebrated my older daughter's 15th birthday. I can't believe how the time flies.  She's in her first year at high school now and working hard to keep her grades up.  I'm so proud of her.  

So for Mini Monday today, I wanted to share with you this cupcake treat box/gift box that I made for my daughter, Elena.  I used a pattern from My Time Made Easy for the Cupcake Box. I've decorated it with ribbons and trim from my stash and used papers from MME - Blush paper pack. I made the cherry on top using Doo Bee Pops honeycomb papers from Magnolia.

The mini image I used today is Tilda with Price Froggy from the 2013 Once Upon A Time collection.
I stamped her on a Vintage Tag Doohickey die cut.

On the back of the tag is my sentiment and I embellished with a cupcake that I made with paper clay and a Martha Stewart mold, then I colored the cupcake with my copics.

Here is another picture of just the cupcake.

I hope you enjoyed my project today. This was so fun to make and made with love for my daughter.

Have a great day everyone!

Magnolia-licious Challenge - Buttons, Bows, or Beads

Hi Everyone! Today is Tuesday and we have a new challenge for you at Magnolia-licious.  Our theme is buttons, bows, or beads. Use 1 or 2 or all 3.  I used all three (if you consider the pearls as beads).

Have a look at this adorable new Tilda from the Once Upon a Time Collection 2013.  This is Princess Tilda With Ballet Shoes that came in the spring kit. I love the curly haired Tildas as I happen to have a curly haired daughter (who flat irons every day - LOL).  The butterflies and crown also came in the kit.

You can find all these stamps at Magnolia-licious as well as the So Wrapped Lovely Heart Doohickey Tag die.
