Tilda Notepad

Sometimes when you see something you just KNOW it's meant to have a Magnolia on it!  LOL!  Yesterday when I was in Save-On grocery store I found this on sale for $4.99.  It has 400 sheets of memo paper and the top is a hardcover and although it's cute all by itself I just thought I could make it better!  LOL!!


SO!  TADA!!  I'm pretty happy with how it turned out an entering this into the following challenges:

Magnolia Down Under Challenge - Love - Not only did I put LOVE on here using the Magnolia's "LOVE" background image stamp but I did fill this with love cuz I was making it for someone special.  Those always turn out better then when I make one just because. 

Just Magnolia Week 92 - Anything Goes with the option of ribbons.   I ♥ anything goes challenges!!!

Top Tip Tuesday - Girlie Challenge.  WELL!!  Pink, hearts and flowers I would say are a shoe in for that challenge!  LOL! 


Here's a sideview.  The nice thing is that my sister will take awhile to get through THAT many sheets of notepad paper so I know it'll be around for awhile.  Knowing her tho, she won't even use it.  LOL!!  It's okay buddie!  I'm giving you permission!!  ♥♥♥

Awww She's Just CUTE!

When you are running low on ink in your favorite Copic you learn to use others, which I found out wasn't so bad!!  For grey I normally use C's but  my C1 was draining and very very white at the tip!  I really liked how my W's look when using greys tho.

So for a few challenges on this card:

Just Magnolia - "Goin' Dotty" which I thought was just perfect for a Valentine's card.

Magnolia Stamp Lovers - "Glitter" and although you can hardly see it, it's on all the lacy parts.  If you click on it to make it bigger, it's easier to see.
Friday Sketchers - "Sketch" another fabulous one!


Well unfortunately it will be another few days before I can post a Maggie but in the meantime, I'll be coloring up a storm!!  Enjoy your week!  Thanks for dropping by!

Stamps: Magnolia #374 "Ladybug Tilda"
Paper: Deja Views "Sweet Romance"
Embellishments: Wild Orchid Crafts flowers, ribbon and pearls, Martha Stewart felt hearts, Recollections ladybugs, American Crafts silver button, CTMH hemp and labeler for the sentiment.

Tickled Pink Stamps - "Vintage" I'm hoping I succeeded!!

And Magnolia-licious Challenge blog using Cabio's picture as inspiration.  I was thinking I could see the brown's and creams in this picture as well as having her sitting in her comfy big chair!  There's also a very pink doiley on the coffee table so I chose that to be my 3rd main color on my card.
