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:

Hi Everyone!  Hope you are doing well today?  I can't believe how quickly this month has flown by, before you know it, it will be Spring. I can't wait! I have had enough snow to last a lifetime. Last week, my kids were home from school for winter break and they kept me pretty busy so I didn't post as often as I wanted.  But I'm back this week and have loads to show you!

Well, it's time for a new challenge today at the Magnolia-licious Challenge blog and our challenge is to make a boy card or card for a boy.  So here is what I came up with:

A closeup:

And here is the inside of my card:

Supplies:

Magnolia-licious Challenge - Butterflies and Blooms

Good morning everyone. Sorry I haven't posted in a few weeks. I took a bit of a break and spent time with my family before school starts.  There was also lots of shopping to do to get ready for school. Summer vacation went by too quickly.  I've also been working on a few projects for the next Magnolia Ink Issue - I'm so glad to get that completed!

Well anyways, we have a new inspiration challenge at the Magnolia-licious Challenge blog. Our theme is "Butterflies and Blooms." Isn't this a lovely photo?

I created this card with this theme in mind:

I think fall has to be my favorite season, I love the vibrant colors we see outside in the begining of the season. Everything looks like a painting and so I used those colors on my card today.  There was lots of cutting out and piecing together on this scene.  I used my favorite tree from Magnolia (which is not in stock right now) and the Welcome to our Lovely Home background along with my favorite stamp from this collection, Tilda with Scooter (link to mini image). Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and my papers are from Basic Grey - Pyrus paper pack (perfect for fall).

Here's a closeup:

I used soooo many copics on this one, I couldn't even begin to list them all but if you want to know any specifics, please email me.

Well this is my last post for the Magnolia-licious Challenge blog. I've so enjoyed working with these talented ladies and special thanks to Diana and Candy for including me on this team.  They have a new team starting in September with so many talented designers. I can't wait to see their creations! I am moving over to the Magnolia-licious Store team and am very excited to work with this group of ladies whom I've admired for so long. Thanks to Diana for the opportunity.

**Stay tuned! I am putting together a bit of blog candy for my loyal followers.**

Thanks everyone!  Have a great day! xo

Magnolia-licious August Color Challenge

Hi Everyone! Time for another challenge at the Magnolia-licious Challenge blog.  Our color challenge this time are the colors pink, blue, white/cream.  Here is a photo with the colors:

And this is the card I created for this challenge.  I haven't had a chance to use this sweet stamp yet so was happy to use it for this card.  Don't you love her pink bear. LOL!



This is TeddyBear Love from the 2012 Prince and Princesses Collection.  Unfortunately it doesn't currently seem to be in stock at the moment at Magnolia-licious but I'm sure it will be soon. The diecut border I used is a Magnolia Doohickey "Old Swedish Lace" die.

I used the following copics to color this image: E13, E11, E00, E000, R20, B24, B21, B000, R85, R83, R81, RV10, E35, YR23, Y23, Y21, Y000, C1, C00.

Thanks for visiting me today. Have a great day everyone! xo

Magnolia-licious Challenge - Put on your ballet shoes

Time for another inspiration challenge over at the Magnolia-licious Challenge blog.  Take a look at our inspiration photo chosen by our host this month, Suzan:

Awww aren't they precious?  I miss when my kids were this age and loved wearing tutus.  Well as I looked through my collection of Magnolia stamps, I realized that the only ballet Tilda I have is Pink Tilda Ice/Ballet Princess an oldie but goodie from the 2008 Pink Collection.

I used 2 dies from spellbinders for the leaves and butterfly and the heart tag doohickey die. Papers by K&Co. and flowers by WOC. I used copics to color this image: B24, B21, B000, B0000, YR23, Y23, Y21, Y000, E11, E00, E000, R20.

Thanks for stopping by. Hope you are all enjoying your summer! xo

Magnolia-licious Color Challenge

Good morning everyone!  Today at the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog, my lovely friend Suzan is our host and she has chosen the colors red, white, and blue as our colors to work with this week. 

Here is the card I created for today:

This is Tilda Un Anchor from the Summer Memories Collection. Don't you love those cute little shoes she has on? Absolutely adorable!    I colored my image with copics and the colors are:  E02, E01, E11, E00, E000, R20, R22, R24, R27, C00, C1, C3, C5, C7, E35, Y23, Y21, Y11, Y000, B26, B24, B21, B000, E55, E53, E51.

I used Webster's Pages papers for this card and cut the boats out of the paper and placed them above the image as embellishment.  Also embellished with some stars cut out with my spellbinder dies.  That little wooden anchor embellie I found at AC Moores.

Well that's it from me today. I hope you'll join us this week for our challenge!  Enjoy your day!

Hi Everyone! Hope you are all doing well today?  It's time for another TOMIC Challenge and this week our challenge is to make a summer holiday card and also follow this sketch:

Here is the card I made for the 4rth of July:

I've used a combination of papers by Bo Bunny and Websters Pages.  The images I used are: Tilda Off Shore, Memory Shells, and the Ocean Background is from the Lazy Summer Days collection but could not find a link to it.   I've used some shells for embellishing and all my images were colored with copics: E11, E02, E01, E00, E000, R20, R22, R24, R27, E55, E53, E51, E50, YR00, YR000, B97, B95, B91, B000, B0000, C7, C5, C3, C1, C00, E35, E33, E31, E30, Y15, Y000.

I hope to rejoin in the future. Thanks for visiting everyone! Have a great day!
