Just Magnolia - Friends Challenge!

Happy Friday!!
I actually hate Friday's. My kids get out of school at 12:44 and I have to be at the school by at least 12:20 to get a decent parking place. I never have time to do anything in  the morning and by the time I get home it feels like the day is over. I have been very productive lately with getting ahead of myself on my design teams and it feels great not to work under pressure. I've really had a blast working on the next Magnolia Ink projects! Hopefully I will find the time to finish a card today.

This is my card for Just Magnolia and hAngler. The theme is Friends. I hope you will join us!

Have a great weekend!

A Pink Sunset!

Hello friends! Today I have a card for you for Just Magnolia and hAngler. The theme is 'Lacy'. I have been wanting to make a pink sunset card. This is my first attempt. It looks more pinkish in real life. I guess I could have gone a little darker. Next time! I cut my mini Tilda in half and took my B00 and added color by running the side of my marker along the part I cut. Then I glued her down and it looks like she is in the water. At least that's the way it's supposed to look lol!

I hope you will join us in or Lacy Challenge over at Just Magnolia and hAngler!
