Magnolia-licious Blog Hop Time!!

Hey everyone! It's the 3rd Monday in the month, and you Magnolia-licious fans out there knows what that means! It's time for a Design Team Blog Hop!!! And this month, our theme is "Back to School"!! Now if you've made your way here from visiting my very talened friend Cheryl Rowley, then you're in the right spot! If not, then you'll want to start at Magnolia-licious Highlites so you don't miss a thing! Here's what I've created for today

I used a total of SIX Magnolia stamps on this card! LOL! I thought I'd never finish coloring. And considering it usually takes me at least an hour and a half for each image, that's a lot of coloring. LOL! Of course it didn't take me that long for the pencil and ruler! LOL!  The stamps I used are: #252 Editor Tilda and #320 Autumn Tilda with Pencils from the Turning Leaves Collection. I also used #508 Kitchen Bench, Tilda with crossed legs reading, the pencil, and also the ruler. I don't have numbers for those as they've been around a number of years, but if you're interested I'm sure Diana can let you know if she can order them for you!!

They're stamped with Memento ink onto Cryogen White paper and then colored with Copic markers. Magnolia-licious is your one stop source for anything Magnolia! Diana carries the best selection at the best prices! Not only do you get a discount from list price off the top, but you also earn a 2% credit with every purchase! Diana also carries an extensive array of gorgeous dies from places such as Memory Box, Cheery Lynn, and Marianne!! Be sure to visit Magnolia-licious today!! The papers are from Echo Park matted with Bazzill cardstock. I added some lace and some cheesecloth for some extra texture. The ribbon is from May Arts topped with some flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts. Here's a pic of the inside where I used Autumn Tilda with Pencils.

Now I have a few extra older Magnolia stamps I'd like to send to a new home. If you're interested in giving them a good home. just be sure you're a follower as I'm going to randomly pick some winners.  Now it's time to hop on to see what my fabulously talented teamie Janiel has made for your delight today! I'm sure you're gonna LOVE it! Thanks so much for hopping with us today, and hope to see you back again soon! Hugs!

Isn't Pippa Popcorn so much fun?? I am just crazy about this entire release!

Kraftin' Kimmie - Animals or insects please

It's tme for a new challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge Blog, and this week our hostess with the mostest is the fabulously talented Ms Angie Baker.  She is challenging us to use an animal or insect, so no people this time! With all the amazing Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps out there, I'm sure you've got something that will work just fine! Here's what I came up with. Remember you must use a Kraftin' Kimmie image to be eligible for the challenge prize!

Isn't this little pooch the absolute cutest little thing??? She was fun to color too! She's from Canine Capers 1 which comes with three absolutely adorable pooches and four coordinating sentiments. I stamped her with Memento ink onto Cryogen White paper and then colored with Copic markers. The light fur is E50, 51, and 53. The darker color fur is E23, 25, and 27. The papers are old Basic Grey (the name is escaping me right now...but the line has dogs and cats) sorry!. I matted  it with Bazzill cardstock and machine stitched the layers. The horizontal panel was embossed. The ribbon is May Arts and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

For my card, I used the gorgeous image of Jayne! I just love her! She's stamped with Memento ink onto Cryogen White and then colored with Copic markers.  I used circle Nestabilities for the out of the box technique.

The floursihes, border, and card frame are from the Silhouette store, Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and I used a Viva Decor Pearl Pen for all the pearls.

Magnolia-licious Design Team Sketch Challenge!!

Hey everyone! Oh my gosh, I can't believe it's the first of August already! Sheesh...  But that means it's time for a new monthly challenge from the Design Team over at Magnolia-licious. And this month, our fabulous Queen Diana chose the theme, and it was fall splendor! Well, I pretty much missed the mark on this one. LOL! I did use one of the amazing images from the new Turning Leaves Collection which is available right now over at Magnolia-licious! Diana carries a HUGE selection of Magnolia images, including the mini stamps too! And not only does she have amazing customer service, but her prices are the best around. Especially when you consider with every purchase, you earn a 2% store credit.  So the challenge is fall splendor, and I'll just say that I  truly did "fall" in love with Tilda Makes a Blueberry Blanket.
