Mini Magnolia Easel Card!

Hello my blogging friends! I really wanted to get a new card up and posted yesterday but it just wasn’t happening. My jaw is better but still pulsing here and there, thank you to those of you who wished me a speedy recovery.

This card I made for the Fussy and Fancy get together this past Saturday. My flowers on the bottom came off so I put them back on and I added a few more, and a charm to fit some Challenges in. I have been wanting to make one of these little easel cards, I’ve been inspired by so many. I had the hardest time with this card! It took me hours to do and lots of paper changing. This was the outcome and my friends seemed to like it, so I was happy camper!

Whiff of Joy Challenge 76.

Hello, hope you are all having a great week so far! I am getting my last wisdom tooth out tomorrow, yay me. I only got the top right out on Friday. The bottom one is where they have to cut the bone so it’s harder to get out and a longer recovery. I’m so busy this week, sitting down to do this post is the first I’ve sat down in 2 days. On Saturday it’s out Fussy and Fancy get together so I’m preparing the projects for that, plus my design team commitments, my dentist appointment on top of “mom” stuff. Being a SAHM and full time crafter is work I’ll tell ya! But I enjoy it!

This week over at Whiff of Joy we have a fabulous sketch by the one and only Bev Rochester! I love how simple the sketch is it makes room for lots of layers and embellishments! I did something I miss and haven’t done in a while, I water colored Melinda. Boy do I miss doing that! I will need to get some new colors. I just used my plain ole SU inks and aqua painters. Oh and don’t you love the little Zva Crystals on her headband and dress!!!

Princess Tilda!

Happy Friday to all of my fellow blogging friends! I’m really happy I was able to make a card today I wasn’t sure I was going to have enough time, although I’m running a little behind. My kids get out early Friday’s and I have a dentist appointment to get my other 2 wisdom teeth removed. Fun Fun! The first few days are so bad because of all the blood, last time I made myself sick of how much I swallowed, sorry a little TMI!

Anyways I LOVE this card, as always. Maybe it’s just that I love these Magnolia stamps SO MUCH! It’s a little plain, I didn’t use that many punches I wanted to but I wanted as much as the paper to show as possible.
