Easter is a comin' :)

Hello friends! Thanks for visiting me today. I've got a Easter card to share with you all. I really like the way it came out. I think it's very simple and clean looking.. well for me anyways :) This Hoppy Easter Collection is one of my favorite Collections ever! I just love the images in them. I have a few more Easter cards in mind, I hope I have time to make them before Easter.

This card is for Just Magnolia and Fussy and Fancy. I've combined the two challenges, dont you love when that happens. Just Magnolia's challenge is BINGO so you have to choose 3 catagories in a row. I chose, Gems, Ribbon and Flowers. Fussy and Fancy's challenge is to use a feather or a zipper. I thought a feather would be cute since I've got little chicks on my card.

I hope you will join us in our challenges.

Just Magnolia use your favorite Color Combo Challenge!

I bet you dont have to scroll down to guess what color my card is! :) Pink of course! I had a lot of fun making this card cause I have such a great selection of pink stuff. I just love this Tilda with handful of Tulips, she's so cute and fun to color. I'll be honest her cheeks where a little difficult for me. I guess I'm just not used to the angle of these style Tildas. She's SUPER cute though. I love how you can see her eye lashes. I hope you can join us at Just Magnolia this week and show us your favorite color combos!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Our challenge is a sketch by me :). I hope you will join us. I left the embellishents off the sketch so you can be creative as you wish.

Easter Card with a new Tilda and HUGE CONTEST!!!!!!

Hello Magnolia Friends! I have an Easter card for you today. I just LOVE this Tilda with Hanging Rabbit from the Butterfly Dreams Collection. I used my mini Spring Tree and instead of coloring the flowers I used my new Peony Flowersoft. It really gives it a Spring feel, doesn't it? Now I honestly wasn't sure about the grass when I was doing it, I thought I messed up my picture and was going to have to cut Tilda out, but after adding all the different shades of greens I REALLY love the way this card came out.

This card is for the Just Magnolia challenge this week. Our challenge is a Sketch by Bev. It was such a fantastic sketch to work with, I hope you will be able to join us in the challenge this week.

Hello friends! I have a card and pouch today. I made this for a friend of mine who came over last week. It was her Birthday. I hadn't seen her in 2 years. It was a nice visit, she wanted to try my Copics since she wanted to get some for her Birthday.

I used the sketch over at Lili of the Valley. It was very fun to work with. I just love these little stamps. They are so adorable. I found my Paper Makeup Stamps, fairy sentiments.
