Papertake Weekly - Let's play Bingo!!!

Hi everyone! Are you having a great start to your week? Life is truly good, ya know? I am so blessed in my life, and am truly thankful.  So if you're a friend, or if you just pop by every once in a while, or if you're family, THANK YOU for contributing and making my life the joy that it is.  Ok...so are you ready for a good game of Bingo?  That's the fun that's awaiting you at Papertake Weekly this week. We're bing sponsored by our very own Mary and Andrea over at The Ribbon Girl, so one yummy prize awaits a lucky participant! First, here's your bingo card. So just pick your three (or fill the board if you're feeling REALLY ambitious! *smiles*

And here's what I've come up with for the challenge. I used actually two different rows, down column one with ribbon, die cut, and buttons.  And I also covered diagonal from left to right ribbon, free, and blooms.

I used #348 Tilda with Blue Blanket from the Princes and Princesses collection from Magnolia-licious. Is't she just too precious?!  I don't see her available in the standard size, but she is available in the mini size!!  She's stamped with Memento ink onto Cryogen White paper and then colored with Copic markers. I then fussy cut her out and popped her up off a frame cut with a Spellbinder die.  The flowers and flourish are from the Silhouette store. .

The papers are some old ones I've got from Making Memories matted with Bazzill cardstock. The ribbon is (as almost always) May Arts silk ribbon and the pearls were done with the Viva Decor Pearl pen. They weren't hard enough when I was taking the pics. See how I messed up that pearl on the top of my card when I moved it around for the next pic? UGH! It was just dry enough that I could pluck it right off there and replace it (thank goodness).

Please pop over to Papertake Weekly to see all the gorgeous designs from my teamies, and then we'd really love it if you'd grab your paper and glue and play along with us! Thanks so much for stopping by to see me today, and hope to see you back again soon! Hugs!

Magnolia-licious Blog Hop - It's time for a wedding!

Hi everyone! It's the third Monday in the month, and that means it's blog hop time for the Magnolia-licious Design Team!! This month, the theme is wedding! Pretty appropriate with it being June, don't ya think?  If you've made your way here from my friend and DT sister Cheryl, then you're on the right track. If not,  you can find the complete list of hoppers at Magnolia-licious Highlites Blog. You don't want to miss a single bit!!  Here's what I've come up with for you today.

For my card today, I used #168 Loving Bridal Couple which I don't see in stock right now. If you're interested, please be sure and contact Diana. They're stamped with Memento ink onto Cryogen White paper and then colored with Copic markers.  The card itself was cut using the Cameo and I did it with cream on white. It didn't photograph well at all, but it really is pretty in person.  The flowers are all Wild Orchid Crafts and the glittered heart is from my stash. I added a lot of pearls to the flourish frame using a Viva Decor Pearl Pen.  And lastly that fabulous bow was made using tulle. I love that bow!

The card base was meant to be turned sideways, but I really wanted to use it, so I flipped it around so the image would fit on the center. The disadvantage to that, is that the card won't stand on it's own. *sigh*

Be sure to check out all the fabulous Magnolia images available from Diana at Magnolia-licious!! She has the absolute BEST selection of Magnolia images in North America. And not only does she have an extensive stock of the standard images, she is also the distributor for the Mini Magnolia images as well!  She has the best prices and customer service, and you will not be disappointed!!  Now it's time to hop on to see my friend and DT sister Angie.
