Fall Maggie

I just LOVE this image!  Isn't she cute?  We had some really amazing summer weather but I think I am looking forward to fall now.  I haven't had too much just yet tho and I am NOT complaining since it seems like winter lasts 6 months nowadays.  LOL!

"Autumn Tilda with Broom" is what this Tilda is called and you can find her at Magnolia-licious where you can also find the rest of the new "Turning Leaves" collection.  Funny thing!!  After I colored her all up I have seen 2 more images colored with the same color combo!  Ahhhh great minds think alike! 

I'd like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Lovely Hanglar or Sweet Magnolia challenge blog - Favorite image and for now this is mine.  It seems like my favorite changes with every new collection.  LOL!

Magnolia-licious Highlights challenge blog - Autumn Splendor and autumn this card is!!  I really enjoyed making it and after it was done I realized the insane amount of Magnolia Doohickey's I used!  LOL!  

Have a great week my friends!

LOTV - Message for You

Boy that LOTV company is kicking out some amazing images over the last few months.  I picked up this little cutie a short bit ago, along with a few more I hope to share soon.

Oh WAIT, then I ordered 5 more xmas ones only to find out there is ANOTHER release coming out.  DOH!!  Just when my money thought it was safe!!  BWAAAHHHH HA HA HA HA!  Oh who am I kidding.?!!  Doesn't this happen every fall/winter?  YES!  Love it!

The only thing I find with these images is they are a little smaller and I think I might have a tendency to have my embellishments overpower my poor little image.  But at least I give your eyes lots to look at.  LOL!!   I'll try a smaller card next time and see if that helps me out.  

I'm going to enter this card in 2 challenges:

Some of you might find this card familiar and it's because it was in the DTC magazine but I had never got a chance to share it with you until now.  We had to wait until the issue had been out for awhile but by then I had forgotten.  LOL!!  

I just love those Saturated Canary image.  So cute!

In that particular issue the rolled flowers were being presented along with this sketch I had used as well.

CLP #50

WOO HOO!  It's time again for one of Chelsea's gorgeous sketches over at CLP Challenge blog.  I've cheated and used those wonderful LOTV pre-colored die cuts again.  These things are fabulous!! 

Gorgeous huh?!  The sketch I mean!  I'm not that full of myself.  LMBO!  Please check out the other amazing creations at the CLP blog.  Some gorgeous and amazing inspiration over there!! 

I'm entering my card into the following challenges:

Lili's Little Fairies  - A Touch of Romance

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your week!

Oooo Fancy Schmancy!

I get such a kick out of this Magnolia.  She's all dressed up and ready to head out!!!  You can find Tilda and Wiola at Magnolia-licous along with the rest of the Summer Memories collection.  So super sweet!

I added flower soft to the bouquet and colored her up with Distress markers .... kinda.  LOL!  Unfortunately her coloring IRL is darker but it seems to have lightened right up in this photo.

I have to laugh about distressing this because I used the Distrezz-it-All electric distressing tool and man alive that thing doesn't mess around!!  My first comment when I turned it on was WHOA!  LOL!  You have to be careful otherwise half your paper will get eaten but I love it cuz it makes short order of distressing so many layers.  Worth the money!!

I'm going to enter this card into the following challenges:

Midweek Magnolia's - Elegance - Top 3***

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your week!  

CLP #49

Welcome to the next CLP sketch challenge.  Ok so honestly I did use the sketch but I just noticed that some of it may be hiding under all my embellie's.  LOL!! 

I tried out my Tim Holtz distress markers again with some new paper I got at a crop I went to about a month ago.  It's fabulous but only comes in a cream and very very expensive so I don't know that I'll continue to go that route.  There must be more out there!!  Also, I'd like to have white paper so I'm on the hunt still. 

Here's the gorgeous sketch for this month:

So if you get a chance to join us we'd be thrilled to have you!!  Also, the girl's have outdone themselves again so if you need a little inspiration please pay them a visit. 

To all you Canadians have a great long weekend and to all the rest have a wonderful weekend as well!!  Hugs!
