Today I chose to show you "Mr. and Mrs. Teddy" and have used some pretty Magnolia papers called "Something Old, Something New". 


I'd like to mention that I borrowed this layout from the most amazingly talented card maker extraordinaire Mindy Baxter.  Not to mention she can color pretty good too.  LMBO!!  She's UH-mazing!

Magnolia-licious Easter/Spring Challenge

And here we are again for another delicious Magnolia-licious and Wee Stamps challenge!!  I'm sure there's a lot of this challenge going on but yes we are doing

EASTER/SPRING!!!

I opted for a bit of a non-traditional color with the peach and teal so I could use my gorgeous Magnolia papers.  LOL!  I must admit that now when I look it doesn`t look peachy.  Oh well!  I masked Tilda with Egg and Chicken with the Happy Easter background.  It's so funny but I use to never want to color backgrounds.  I was scared of messing up but now I want one for everything.  ha ha!!  Definitely takes longer to make the card tho. 

I also make a couple of easter eggs with the BooBeePops honeycomb paper.  At first the jury was out on this product but after seeing it used a few different times and then trying it myself, it was actually fun and pretty easy. 


I think I masked my image and stamped about 8 times before I got a good one.  Then I only had the one to color.  No pressure.  LOL!


The cute little bunny is super soft!!  This wooden die cut is from Southern Ridge Trading Co. and I painted it white then covered it with fuzzy flock.  I added half a pom pom for his little tail. 


A closer look at my honeycomb Easter eggs. 


This week at the Magnolia-licious online store you can get your pre-order going for the next Magnolia Ink magazine.  Oh how these are soooo full of gorgeous ideas!!  


Also, check out the Magnolia-licious and Wee Stamps challenge blog for more inspiration as well.  The ladies have done amazing things!!

Magnolia Mini Monday - Tilda w/Wrapped Heart

WOO HOO!  Welcome to my first Magnolia Mini Monday!!  Each Monday Magnolia-licious and Wee Stamps challenge blog will be showcasing some inspirational MAGNOLIA MINI'S. 

For my card today, I masked "mini Tilda w/Wrapped Heart" together with "Sunny Autumn Morning".   You would think with the mini's that you can't shade them too much but you can actually get away with using 3 colors.  At least that's what I used anyway.  I also used the Magnolia doohickey border die, one of my personal fav's.  


The hand made flowers are from a Spellbinders die and since I only had pink mini clothes pins I painted them white.  Mini clothes pins for a mini image?  Appropriate?  I THINK SO!!  LOL!!

"Make A Wish" Cutie Pie

Today I am showing you an image called "Make a Wish" Cutie Pie from Little Darlings Rubber Stamps.  Isn't she just so sweet?  Coupled with some Pion papers given to me by a friend to try out, I thought it made just the perfect birthday card.  

I'm excited because it's my first post over at Little Darlings Rubber Stamps Design Team Inspirations blog and MY OH MY is the DT an amazing bunch.  I'm thrilled to be a part of this team!

I spritzed a doily to match the purples, cut a few butterflies out of the Pion papers and added some pearls, a banner, some lace and flowers and VOILA!  I just made it sound really easy didn't I?  LOL!!  It WAS easy just time consuming but what a great way to spend a morning....and maybe part of my early afternoon.   

Thanks for dropping by!!

Magnolia All About Boys

Welcome back for a new challenge at Magnolia-licious and Wee Stamps challenge blog.  This time it's 

ALL ABOUT THE BOYS!!

I'm sure we all know how underused poor Edwin gets, including by myself, so I thought this was a great way to get him some blog time.  LOL!!  You don't necessarily have to use an Edwin as long as the card is about the challenge but when I saw it, I thought it was the perfect chance to use a new stamp that I didn't get a chance to color up until now.    YAY!!   


I used "Ski Edwin w/Snowflakes' unfortunately he's not in the shop right now but I guess that's what happens when you make a card over a month ago.  LOL!!  If you're interested in the image you can email a request to have it brought in but there are lots of other super cute Edwin's here as well.  I also used the Magnolia doohickey's "Slender Firs" and coated them with Twinklettes. 

As always, Diana will be giving away her usual generous package to a random winner:

Game On!!

Sooooo as some of my friends know, I HATE making men's cards.  I think I've finally figured out WHY.  It's not that I hate making the card.  It's that it takes me forever to come up with the idea.  I feel like how many more fishing, camping, golfing, hockey cards do I have left in me?!  So I was happy to find this "Game On" digi from Mo Manning.  He still plays occasionally and even with friends online.  I'm sure it's a great release for him after a long work week, just as my lovely craft room is for me.  hee hee


I used the "Awesome" Simple Stories collection for the papers and the border star sticker.  They make it so easy to put together a card.  LOVE THEM!!

THANKS FOR LOOKING MY FRIENDS!!
