Magnolia MINI Monday

 (Hoping this posts on time as I am away - hee hee)

Welcome back to another Mini Monday from Magnolia-licious and Wee Stamps challenge blog.  This week I've been playing with mini "Tilda with Heart Balloons" and "Tilda with Wedding Gifts". 


I've also used some Magnolia papers from two different collections.  So I don't have too much more to say about the card because it's basically just filled with flowers.  LOL!!  I will add that the tag is a doohickey from Magnolia-licious called Vintage Tag.  It's one of my "go-to" tags.  Love it!

Magnolia-licious and Wee Stamps Challenge

BUTTONS, BOWS OR BEADS

 I just love this time of year because it just feels so good! The sun starts to get warmer, the winter coats get put away and everyone gets excited about getting out and not being cooped up anymore!!  WOO HOO!!

For this challenge I used Tilda Watering....OMG HOW CUTE IS SHE?!!  Unfortunately she's out of stock but there are dozens more gorgeous characters at Magnolia-licious online store.  Kind of the hazards of working ahead I suppose.  LOL! 


I was getting pretty tired of square cards so used my Sihouette to create a shaped card. The only thing I don't like is that it's only an 8 1/2" x 12" so I can't quite make a 6" x 6" shaped card so this is a little smaller. I am close to buying a Cameo just because you can use 12" x 12" papers then I could get my 6" x 6" shaped card but what would I do with a perfectly fine Silhouette. Decisions, decisions! LOL!



I love the "Clouds" tutorial that Alycee Keegan does and although my clouds look NOTHING like hers I was still pretty happy with them.  Also her grass tutorial is good as well.  I used my "Summer" border Memory Box dies border FINALLY!  I've probably owned it for a year!  LOL!  You can buy your Memory Box dies from Diana and many more at Magnolia-licious as well!!  My personal favorites are the Magnolia Doohickey's. 

NEW COLLECTION!!!

Magnolia-licious is now selling "Once Upon A Time" and they are sooooo cute!!  But I'm sure I say that about every collection.  LOL!! 

Be sure to check out the Magnolia-licious and Wee Stamps Challenge and enter your "Buttons, Bows or Beads" card.  Although I did manage to get all items on my card, you only have to use 1 to qualify.  

And don't forget the Share and Get Paid program at Magnolia-licious.  



HAVE  GREAT WEEK AND THANKS FOR VISITING!!

I just got the Tim Holtz "Picture Wheel" and want to use it on everything!  LOL!  I just love it!


Honey and her little bunny.  I just can't stop from saying how cute they are!!


I also used the "You" sentiment tag from the sentiment set called "Tag Alongs" also available at Little Darlings Rubber Stamps.

Magnolia-licious & Wee Stamps Challenge

SPRING IS IN THE AIR

Annnnnnd on to our next wonderful challenge!  Don't you just love this time of year?  I DO!!  Even tho I don't do much for planting flowers or gardens I do love seeing other people's.  So thanks!!  LOL!

Let me introduce you to Tilda w/with big tulip pot.  Appropriate huh?  LOL!!  You can buy this little cutie from the Magnolia-licious online store.  Oh darnit!  She's out of stock right now but there are many other new selections to choose from.


I bought a nice order of ribbon from The Ribbon Girl not too long ago because I just LOVED the look that Becky Hetherington does with this row of ribbon.  Just gorgeous I think!  Such a perfect addition to these Magnolia cuties!


My first image I colored after taking Mindy Baxter's "Shades of Grey" course.  Loved coloring Tilda with the grey's!!  Gives it so much more dimension.  I am so happy that I learned how to color something white.  Ok maybe a contradiction there...LOL...but you KWIM.

And I luuuuv doing rolled flowers.  I really should do them more often.  They look so pretty!

As always Diana will be giving away a wonderful prize package.

It Was A Rainy Night

HI!  I'm back with another creation using the cutest little image of Lisbeth called "It Was a Rainy Night" by MilkCoffee.  You can purchase her at Little Darlings Rubber Stamps including the sentiment stamp I used.  The set is called Friendship Sentiments and I love these sentiments because they are a bit smaller and don't take up tons of room on my card.

Oh and I also used the new papers called "Fruit Basket" and they're so cheery I just love using them. And bonus, they are double-sided. :)  The papers are also from Little Darlings Rubber Stamps and there is also a new set called "Summer Sorbet". Yummy!


I added some glitter to the cloud she's standing on, some flowers, painted my pink clothes pins white and used a couple of Doohickey's...VOILA! 

Have a great and creative weekend!
