Magnolia-licious Challenge

 Photo Inspiration Plus Glitter

Welcome to another challenge at Magnolia-licious!!  This week we are asking for you to use the photo inspiration (below) and GLITTER!!  I used silver Stickles on each red layer but you think you can see them?  Hardly!  I also have white Glitteritz all over the textured snow I laid down but you can't see that either.  This card was photographically challenged right from the start.  Is that a word?  LOL!

I used "Tilda on the Roof" and "Snowy Roof" from the new Magnolia from "A Christmas Story" collection.  You'll even see most of the images in this collection colored up so you can either see how wonderful they are when they're colored, or take a peek for coloring your image.  That's what I do.  hee hee 

I got to pick the inspiration photo for this challenge but what I had in mind vs. what came out was NOT the same thing.  LOL!  OH well but that's okay.  I hope you enjoy it!

I just want to share with you that Diana is having an amazing sale on the mini stamp storage binders and this is what Jacque had to say about that:

Birthday Card For Simone

At first I had trouble with this one......not so sure it appears that I did but yup I did.  LOL!!  Again, it was a color combo I don't use often but I think I should.  A little challenging but it worked out so nicely when it was finished.  I embellished the crap out of it because it was for Simone and she puts them into shadow boxes and mounts them on her wall!!  She has 5 or 6 now and it looks pretty cool.  Go big or go home!  ha ha ha ha!!

Have a great day!!

Happy Birthday Barb!

Happy Birthday Aunt Barb! 

Lots of birthdays in October and November for me so here's another one.  Oh ya, more to come!  At first I thought using this mustard colored paper would be a challenge.  OK IT WAS!!  LOL!!  Jeez!!  But the more I worked with it and added the blue, the more I liked it.  Definitely a bit of a different color combo for me.  

This is the sketch I used that Chelsea has for this month's challenge.  Is that cute or what?!! 

I'm not entering the challenge but just wanted to share the kick butt sketch.  I will tho enter these challenges:

Happy Birthday to my MIL

A card I made for my MIL's birthday, that I may have previously mentioned, is on the same day as mine.  Or maybe mine is on the same day as hers.  LOL!!  My sister (my twin who I also share today with - LOL)  had a few of these digi's printed off while I was visiting here so I grabbed one and started myself.  Oh they are just so sweet!!  Even added some glitter to that cute heart balloon.  Different papers and color combo's for me but I think I like how it turned out. 

Short post today.  :)  Have a great day and a wonderful weekend!!

Magnolia-licious Challenge

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Welcome to another challenge at Magnolia-licious and this week we'd like to see your Happy Halloween cards!!  I chose to get Tilda dressed up as an orange ladybug.  I even looked up pics on the internet to make sure some ladybugs were orange and YAY I found lots.  LOL!!  Ok so maybe she was already "Ladybug Tilda" but it still makes a good costume.  She's available in Diana's shop but only as a mini right now.

A friend of  mine gave me those ghosts - aren't they CUTE?!  Thanks friend!! 

Here is this week's photo inspiration.  I love this picture!!  If you get a chance, you'll have to check out the other Halloween inspiration that my teamies have come up with at the Magnolia-licious challenge blog.

And Diana will randomly draw a winner for a special sur-prize!!

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

Magnolia Stamp Lovers - Spots and Dots

Thanks for stopping by this week and hope to see your card in the next few weeks!!  Hugs!

Magnolia-licious Color Inspiration

Well you may have had a sneak peek at my card earlier today but here it is again with more info.   LOL!!  Welcome back to another challenge at Magnolia-licious and this week we have a color challenge for you.  

Red, Brown and Yellow

At first I was freaked right out but then my sister sent me some Bo Bunny "Apple Cider" papers and it was perfect for this challenge!!   I paired up these papers with the cutest sister/brother stamp combo called "Cuddly Siblings" (in stock) and "Butterfly Background #2", which is not in stock but it's possible that Diana would bring it in if you asked.

Isn't this just gorgeous?  I meant that the inspiration photo.  LOL!  I did lean more towards the brown of the challenge but you can play any way you like. 

The girls did an amazing job over at the Magnolia-licious challenge blog if you need more inspiration.  Also Diana will be giving away one random special surprise and you can bet that it's well worth your time. 

Diana is now taking pre-orders of the new collection A Christmas Story.  They will be in this week and sent out a few days later.  OMG are they ever stinkin' cute!  I got far too many but I love them all!  There's also some gorgeous papers in this collection as well.  Just sayin'.  :)

Hope to see you out this week!!
