I made the flowers using a circular die from MFT.  The butterfly is a Martha Stewart punch and the swirl or flourish is a Doohickey die currently available at Magnolia-licious.  My papers are by Webster's Pages.

I found these cute metal sayings at Joanne Fabrics and included them on my card:

Love is in the Air

Hi Everyone!  I have made a shadowbox card that I'd like to share with you today.  I've used many Magnolias from the current collection.  I hope you like it!


My background paper is by Magnolia and I tried to mimick the hydrangea flowers in the patterned paper with my diecut flowers.  I sponged the flowers with Faded Jeans distress ink.

My images are colored with copics (but too many to list here).



Following are the images I used:

Tilda With Heart Spots
Tilda With Love Music
Sneezing Tilda
Tilda With Heart Socks (from Sweet Crazy Love Collection)
Bird Background (from Sweet Rainbow Collection) - link to mini image

Doohickey dies used:

Lovely Fence
Heart Swirl
Grass die

I've also used  the Spellbinder grand square die and scallop die.



I will enter this card into the following challenges:

Fab 'n' Funky Challenges - Valentines/hearts
Midweek Magnolias - Valentine
Bearly Mine Challenges - anything goes
Papertake Weekly - anything goes
Dutch Magnolia Lovers - Valentine

Well that's it from me today. Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great weekend! Most of the east coast are getting ready for a big storm coming tomorrow.  Be safe everyone!

Tilda with Love Potion

Good morning! Today I have a new Magnolia card to share with you using Tilda with Love Potion from  the 2013 Love Collection.




She's so cute, I love her hair.  I've colored her with the following copics colors: E13, E11, E00, E000, R20, B95, B93, B91, B000, E53, E35, YR23, Y23, Y21, Y000, RV23, RV10.  I've also added a bit of extra shading and highlighting with prisma colored pencils.

She is currently sold out at Magnolia-licious but more have been ordered and will be ready for you to purchase soon.  Magnolia-licious has the best prices for Magnolia stamps around and you will also receive a 2% store credit for each dollar you spend there.  All orders over $100.00 receive a free gift.  Sounds like a good deal to me!

Magnolia-licious Blog Hop

Hi Everyone!  It's time for the Magnolia-licious Highlites monthly blog hop.  Our theme this month is LOVE and we must create something other than a card.  So this month I made 2 different types of gift boxes that I plan to give to my daughters for Valentine's Day.


 First up is this adorable cupcake giftbox:


I used WOC flowers in purples and pinks.  Also I used pearls to embellish around the flowers and cupcake bottom.  This lovely Magnolia image is from the 2013 Love Collection by Magnolia and she is called  "I Am In Love." She is currently available at Magnolia-licious along with the So Wrapped Lovely Folded Heart Tag Doohickey die.





Next up, I made a heart shaped paper gift box:


Again I embellished with more flowers from WOC and a ribbon flower and crystal picks that I picked up at Joanne Fabrics along with the ribbon pearls.  This Magnolia image is also from the 2013 Love Collection by Magnolia and is called "Tilda Blowing Hearts." You can pick her up at Magnolia-licious also along with these gorgeous new papers from this Love Collection and the Memory Box lowercase letters that spelled out love.




Have you heard of the Alex and Ani bracelets?  Well I bought each of my girls one for Valentine's Day.  They fit in the box nicely, don't they?  I hope they like them.

Please see below for the blog hop order.


Blog Hop order:

That's it from me today.  I hope you enjoyed my projects and can let me know what you think.  Enjoy the rest of the hop.  Have a great day!

Little Darlings Rubberstamps - Lilliana

Hi Everyone! I am back today to show you a card that I made using this new CHA released rubberstamp by Saturated Canary.  This stamp will be available soon from Little Darlings Rubberstamps.




This is Lilliana. She's one of my favorite new stamps from this release.  She reminded me of myself when I was young so I colored her as I saw myself  (with faded jeans and bright t-shirt) and added a bicycle diecut which was my favorite activity at this age.



Here is a closeup. As always, I colored my image with copics (E13, E11, E00, E000, R24, R22, R20, B95, B93, B91, B000, E35, E33, E31, C7, C5, C3, C1, C00, YG95, YG91).
