Charisma Guest Designer :)

Hi there! This week I was asked to be Guest Designer over at CharismaCard Challenge! How could I turn that down?! :) The theme this week is Love/Valentines. I just love this time of year.. not because the whole love, mushy, mushy but because I can really go all out with pink! It's my favorite color to use, and the best color EVER! LOL :) I used my new stamps from my Magnolia Sweden Package! The Valentine's Magnolia Ink was also in my package and it's beautiful!!! I'm so grateful to be in a magazine with the amazingly talented Magnolia Design Team! I'm very proud to say all of the projects I sent made it into the Magazine. :)

Well here's my card for Charisma, I hope you like it. I will be back Friday with my Fussy and Fancy and Just Magnolia card! Have a great day!

Yippie ... I'm Going to CHA.... and Just Magnolia card :)

Happy Friday everyone! Well yesterday was my baby's birthday. Katie is 4 years old now. I feel like that's the official age of non baby/toddler. Now she's a kid (stuck in a 2 year olds body) She's REALLY small for her age. Great things come in small packages, right?

I have a card for Just Magnolia. Our challenge is a sketch, by Donalda. Such a fabulous sketch it is too. I hope you can come play along.

I'm getting really excited CHA is next week and I'll be there on Sunday - Tuesday. I get to meet some amazing friends I have made through my design teams...I will be in the Scor-Pal booth with my design team sisters from Magnolia-licious Diana, Angie, Barb, Suzanne and hopefully I will be able to make it over to the Stampavie booth so I can meet my Just Magnolia sister Michelle.

Magnolia-licious Calendar Blog Hop!

Welcome to our Magnolia-licious Monthly Blog Hop! This month all of the Design Team has made calendar pages, I had June and July. A few months ago my friend and dt sister Angie came up with the calendar idea. We all sent our pages to Angie and she put together the calendar and sent it to Diana for Christmas. Diana sent the sweetest email once she recieved it. We all wished we could have been there to see her open it.

If you haven't started at the beginning on the hop please start at the Magnolia-licious Highlights blog. The next on the hop is our lovely and talented Cheryl! I cant wait to see all the girls pages! I hope you enjoy our hop!

The Best thing to hold on to........

Hello and happy Friday everyone! I have a card today using my most favorite technique, masking. I used the normal sized hearts from the Wedding Collection, and the mini Tilda from the Yummy for your Tummy Collection. I LOVE masking. I cannot say it enough, you can make such different looking cards with the same stamps!!!

This card is for Just Magnolia our theme is My Favorite Thing.. well it's pink and has lots of flowers and Magnolias so that just about sums it up! It's also my sketch for the Fussy and Fancy Challenge!

Well I'm off, I have to finish laundry, get ready and go get the kids. Today's their early day, then we are going to visit my Nana. I haven't seen her since Christmas and she's so lonely since Papa passed. So the kids and I get some quality time with Nana. Yippie!

Lili of the Valley Sketch!

Hello there my blogging buddies! I was working on cards all day yesterday. I haven't done that in quite a while. I just loved the sketch over at Lili of the Valley, so once I was done with design team stuff I decided to make a card for the challenge, I made their deadline by like 2 hours. :)

My shoulder is finally better, thank you to all who wished me better! I always get so many wonderful comments. My resolution this year is to comment more. I hop around so many blogs and see so many beautiful projects and always loose track with commenting. Shame on me!

I wanted to tell you all about my dear friend Angie's Copic/Distress coloring class over on My Creative Classroom. Angie has such an amazing and unique look to her coloring. Jaw dropping gorgeous skills if you ask me!

Cupcake Anyone???

Hi my blogging buddies! I have had a tough week. On Tuesday morning I pulled a muscle in my neck and shoulder, the pinching was so bad when I got out of bed I broke out in a cold sweat and was so dizzy I went to the floor. I was in bed all day that day. It's still sore and hurts when I drive. :( It is getting better though!

I just love this card. These Mini Magnolias are so much fun to work with. I masked all of the cupcakes and I'm so happy with how it came out. I just want to eat up those cupcakes!
