So Sweet Tilda

Today I used 60s Tilda from Magnolia-licious and a lollypop stamp from Alota Rubber Stamps. Here is the card I made.



I love the pink and green color combo. Here is a closer view of Tilda and lollypop.

"Think Snow"

Well, I'm not quite sure I'm ready for snow just yet but as long as it's a white Christmas, I'm happy. I made this card for the Magnolia-licious Yahoo Group's homepage contest. I used the new tree stamp and charm that I won for guessing the "magic word" for Diana's Magnolia store.




Here is a close up of the "think snow" charm I won. So cute!



Recipe: Stampin-up and DCWV papers, Martha Stewart snowflake punch and glitter, scribbles dimensional paint,pearls, spellbinder nestabilities, and copic markers.

October Magnolia-licious Highlites Challenge

Here is my easel card for the Magnolia-licious Highlites challenge blog. I actually made 2 cards - 1 with the monochromatic twist (which was difficult for me I must say). The easel template can be found here. Suzanne Dean has pictures up at the Magnolia-licious challenge blog that explains how to make the easel card too.

Here is my monochromatic card. I have a bowdabara (from Walmart) that I used to use to make bows for my daughter's hair and it only just occurred to me to use it for cards now - I'm so glad I didn't throw it out LOL!



Here is my NOT monochromatic card. A bit on the simple side but still like how it looks.



Please let me know what you think. I appreciate any and all comments! Thanks for looking!

Halloween Haunted House

I created this (not-so-scary) haunted house for my Magnolia-licious secret sister. I cut the house out with my cricket and the winter wonderland cartridge (love the designs on this cart). The papers are by Debbie Mumm that I picked up at Joanne's. I colored 2 Tilda's and have them peeking out the windows. They both have finished trick or treating and are still in costume.



I also have Edwin peeking out one of the windows on the side of the house.



Here is a closer view of the Tildas in the window:





Kitty Tilda













Witchy Tilda










I'll be sending this out along with some other goodies on Monday - 3 days late (ooops) but I had fun making this. I hope my secret sis likes it!?!?

Mo's Digital Pencil

Here is a card I made for the Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge blog. I just missed the deadline for that challenge but this card fits the Copic Creations challenge to color pumpkins.



You can find this image and many more here. I couldn't resist this cute little kitty who is ready for Halloween.

Recipe for this card: Digital image from Mo's Digital Pencil, copic markers, DCWV and SU, Martha Stewart punch, brads, and leaf stickers. Thanks for looking! :0)

Inky Impressions Challenge #16

Happy Fall! You wouldn't know it was fall here though -- it's so humid and sticky. Phew it's hot and I'm having a bad hair day! :o( Anyways, to get me in the spirit of autumn, I made this fall card and imagining that it's a dry and cool day. I am entering this card at the Inky Impressions challenge blog. The challenge there is to create a card with 4 embellishments. Now I wasn't sure if I was supposed to use 4 embellishments in total or 4 different kinds of embellishments, so I went with 4 embellishments total. My 4 embellishments are the 3 buttons and 1 brad, here is my card:



What do you think? This is an image of Angelica. Isn't she a sweetie!? This image is so versatile and I have so many card ideas to use her for. Over at the Inky Impressions store they have many adorable images of Angelica and another little girl named Lili. Go check it out! For my card, I used the tree and log from the Magnolia-licious store and Angelica from Inky Impressions. My paper is from Stampin Up, DCWV, and Provo Craft. I used copics to color my image. I hope you like it and I would appreciate any comments you might have. Thanks for looking!

Happy Saturday

Happy Saturday! Today is a beautiful day here in New England and before I go outside to enjoy the weather, I thought I'd post a few pictures. First, I wanted to share a picture of my girls. They started school this week. YEAH! Look at those happy faces, I hope they're still smiling in a month, LOL!!



They are great kids. My older daughter, Elena, has also started paper crafting and using my beloved stamps to make her own cards. Here are a few of the cards she made.



And this next card she made using my cricket machine.



She has her own blog also. It's called www.elenascraftycorner.blogspot.com. It would be great if you all had the time to stop by and give her a quick comment of encouragement and if you know of any other card making kid blogs out there, I'm sure she would appreciate looking at their blogs. Thanks!!

Here is a card I made for the September mingle at the Magnolia-licious yahoo group. I will be sending it to my mingle partner, Cabio, real soon. Cabio, if you see this post, no peeking!! :o)



Here's a little closer view.



This is my first stair-step card and I love how easy it is to create a scene using this card fold. The tree, fence, cats, ghosts, and haunted house I cut out with my cricket. And I had the Tilda with the broom and Edwin stamps that I stamped out and colored with my copics. The other Tilda was an image that my friend, Cabio, sent to me along with some super stickers that I also used on this card. The awesome paper I used is from K&Co.

Thanks for looking! Enjoy your weekend. Peace, Angela
