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.

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.

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!

Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog Hop.

Hello there! Hope you all had a great weekend. I took my kids to Disneyland, we always have a good time. Today is the Really Reasonable Ribbon Blog Hop. This month the kit is Christmas Ribbon. I have no idea why but when I started this card I was thinking there was gold ribbon in the package and thought I would use that, to try to be different. But there's no gold ribbon and I had all the paper and embellishments picked so I went with the beautiful white ribbon in the kit. I think it looks better that the gold would have. If you came from Robbie's Blog you are on the right track. If you haven't started at the Really Reasonable Ribbon blog please start there and work your way down the design team. Next in line is Gini.

Thanks so much Angie for the gorgeous paper and dies you sent me! This beautiful gold Christmas Tree paper was in there, I cannot wait to use all the other papers you sent me too! You are the sweetest! <3

Hope you enjoy the hop. Have a great week!

Magnolia stamps are SO versatile!

Happy Halloween. Well almost. I Looooooooove this card. I really wanted to put a few more different Tildas, Bunny Tilda, Princess Tilda, Robin Hood Edwin, Sailor Edwin, Witch Tilda but just these 3 and the 4 pumpkins took me about 3-4 hours to color this image and get the masking right, another 1-2 hours figuring out the rest of the card. I couldn't make up my mind on how I wanted it. But it finally came together. I really like it too.

This card is for Just Magnolia and Fussy and Fancy. Our challenge at Just Magnolia is 2x2's you can do anything you want if it's in 2s. My 2s are ... 2 brads, 2 bows, 2 different types of ribbon, 2 buttons, 2 stamens, 2 cherry blossoms 2 rosebuds, 2 different color card stocks and 2 different patterned papers.
