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.

I will enter this card at the following challenges:

Crafty Catz Challenge 177 - Anything goes
Crafty Ribbons - Anything goes with ribbon
Marvelous Magnolia - Anything goes
Artistic Inspirations - Anything goes

Thanks for visiting me today.  Please stop by my DT mates' blogs to see more inspiration! Have a great day!

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for another Magnolia-licious Challenge.  "Spring Projects" is the theme for this week.  I'm still in Easter creations mode so here is a little basket I made:

I used my Spellbinder Grand Scallop Nestabilities (largest size) for the creation of this basket. I'm in love with this adorable Easter Tilda image, this stamp is called Tilda With Egg and Chicken and currently out of stock at Magnolia-licious but I'm sure more are on order for you.

My image is colored with copics and embellished with Martha Stewart butterflies and gems, trim,  and WOC flowers. I've filled my basket with Hershey kisses.
