Blog Candy at ScrapGirl

Wouldn't you love to win one of these cool gadgets?!!  I WOULD!  Check it out over at Angie's blog at ScrapGirl.  Oh and also, she's REALLY good at cards!  Check those out too!

Just Magnolia Week 48

So here's my card for the Just Magnolia challenge and it was this sketch. Phew it's been awhile since I've made much of anything!  Going through a dry spell I guess.  I wish I had enough time to color my OTHER sweet Maggie easter stamp as well but we'll see.  I just loved how the glitter came together on this card.  LOVE GLITTER! 

****OMG I'm 2 hours late for the challenge!!!  I thought I would be safe but I suppose not.  Oh well - AGAIN!!  That's 2 times in a month now!  AAAAHHHH!  I gotta get my act together.  I actually had this finished yesterday!!

Just Magnolia - Not Quite

Soooo, I kinda mucked up and got this challenge in too late for Just Magnolia but I like the way it turned out so I'm sharing it!  LOL!  Here's Bev's sketch:
and here's my card!  I have wanted this Blueberry Tilda forEVAH!  And I finally got it!  You can find it on Diana's Magnolia-licious Store and it's even in stock!  I also had to try this big butt flower. OMG these are HUGE so I suppose whoever is the recipient, won't be someone I have to mail it to.  LOL! 
I stickled a LOT of the edges and if you click on the picture to make it bigger you can see it better. I also stickled her Apron and even the leaves on the blueberry patterned paper, which I also bought from Magnolia-licious store. The dirt is Barbara Trombley's Earth Elements and this one is called "Roots". It's much cuter IRL.

Mojo Monday Week 130

I haven't joined in on a Mojo Monday challenge for a long time but I really like their sketches.  Here's this week's sketch:
and here is my card.  I'm thinking I went waaaaaaaay over the top but I couldn't manage to just put the card down and back away from it!!  So, hence you have LOTS to look at!  The DT's had some great inspiration, specifically Sarah Bigelow's card.  Thanks for the idea's!  I have a hard time making a card that has no image to color so this was a challenge for me.

A new challenge that I have joined is Stamptacular Sunday Challenge because one of my close friends, Cheri, has been asked to become a DT for them and I love her work and want to support her.  So here is the sketch they asked for us to follow:
and VOILA my card!  I made it for my hubby as it's our 3rd anniversary today.  I tried to make it as manly and lovely as I could.  LOL!!  I colored this image when I was visiting my sister for a week and have finally put it together!  I added Gunmetal Stickles to a lot of the edges but nothing super tricky today.  See all the deets below.  Thanks for looking!!
