Little Darlings - Saturated Canary Windy Day

Hi Everyone! This is Angela and we have a new monthly inspiration for you today.  This month our theme is Die/Dye It. So I chose to use Dies on my project today. I made a wall hanging for my daughter to hang in her bedroom using my favorite Saturated Canary image from Little Darlings.  This is Windy Day:

I used a spellbinder grand oval die for this project and also 2 papertrey ink cloud dies.  My background image is from Make It Crafty - Rainbow background digi image that I thought worked perfectly with this image.


Here is a bit of a  closer look:

I added lace and beads around my scene.  I think it will look pretty hanging in my daughter's room which is outdoor themed.  I hope she likes it!

I will enter this at the following challenges:

Fab 'n' Funky Challenge - no patterned paper
Ink it Pink - anything goes
Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge blog - diecuts and/or punches
Stampotique Designers Challenge - weather

Well thanks for visiting me today. Have a great day!

Happy Fall

Papers are by Bo Bunny, flowers from WOC.  The bird and birdhouse die is by Marianne Designs. I used the following copics: E000, E00, E11, E13, R20, C3, C1, C00, E35, E33, E31, YR23, YR21, E99, E97, E95, YG97, YG95, YG91, B0000, B000.

My sentiments are from Whimsy.  I also used the Autumn Sunflowers stamp by Magnolia.

Magnolia-licious DT Blog Hop

Hi Everyone!  The Magnolia-licious team is having a blog hop today.  We were to create something using a holiday image and then re-invent it for another occasion.   If you've come from Cabio's blog then your in the right place. I am last on the hop.

 So here is my project:

I made 2 gift bags using the same image.  I couldn't wait to use this Cozy Christmas Bear from the new Little Christmas collection recently released.  On my first gift bag, I made a Christmas gift bag - obviously this image is intended to be a Christmas image.  Then I changed the colors a bit, cut off the dangly part of the scarf and turned it into an image you can use for a new baby gift.

Here is a closeup of the Christmas bag:

I used Spellbinder snowflakes, oval and scallop oval dies, Magnolia doohickey poinsettia die and So Wrapped Lovely Heart tag die, and Memory box pine leaves die. Some stickers, buttons, and twine finished off this bag.

For my baby gift bag, I colored my bear mostly the same way but for the hat and scarf which I colored pink.  Also added a pink bow to the bear's scarf.  I also colored the Magnolia Sweet Moon from the Sweet Crazy Love Collection.  Die cuts used here are from Spellbinder and MFT.

I used several copics on my images today. Let's see if I can remember them all:  E35, E33, E31, E30, R24, R22, R20, W3, W1, W00, R85, R83, R81, RV00, E53, E51, E50, YR23, YR21, Y000. Also used some star dust stickles and ranger walnut stain ink.

Well that's it from me today! Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek at my blog today. Have a great day! hugs xo

Snowflakes and Roses

Hi Everyone! I'd like to share this card I made with you using these gorgeous new Christmas release Magnolias.  This is Little Tilda from the 2012 Little Christmas Collection.  They are currently available for preorder at Magnolia-licious.  Have you seen this collection? The bears are so CUTE and I will be coloring those up soon.  But first, this cutie:

Here is a closeup:

I've used copics to color my image. My flowers are from WOC and I used some snowflake buttons that I picked up at Joanne Fabrics.  I've embellished the snowflakes and flowers with Diamond Stickles.  Papers are by Magnolia and I've also used the Spellbinder Floral Ovals.

Well, that's it from me today.  Have a great day!!

As the Leaves Turn - Little Darlings

Hi Everyone! It's Angela again and we have a new challenge for the month of September.  The theme is "As the Leaves Turn." 

Here is a card I made with this new gorgeous Saturated Canary image, she is called Autumn and is currently available at Little Darlings Rubberstamps.

She is gorgeous and you've got to love her Ugh boots. Just bought similar ones for my daughter for Christmas. :)

I am loving this Saturated Canary rubberstamp release for Little Darlings. You definitely have to check them out at the Little Darlings Rubberstamp Store.

Well that's it from me today. Don't forget to stop back on Friday for our special guest designer post. Have a great day!

Magnolia-licious Highlights Challenge

It's "Anything But a Card" challenge this month at the Magnolia-licious Highlights blog. Today I'd like to show you a little sewing box I had fun making.  I'm not much of a sewer unfortunately but I often sew buttons on my my husband's shirts and mend tears in my little ones clothes. This box will be a cute way to store a few buttons, threads, and needles.

I used a template from My Time Made Easy for this sewing box.  Make It Crafty had the perfect chipboard embellishments for this project. I also used some lace trim and floral brads from Stampin Up.

Here is a view of my sewing box lid. I used this sweet Tailor Tilda  (link to mini image). My image is colored with copics and I've embellished with Wild Orchid Crafts flowers.

There's plenty of room inside the box for my needles, scissors, and a few spools of thread and extra buttons. So cute!  I hope you like my project today, I had fun making this.  Thanks for visiting today, see you soon!

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

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.
