A Summer Wish.

Hello there my lovely blogger friends!

I have a card to share with you all today. I absolutely ADORE this card. This gorgeous little fairy is from Lili of the Valley, as if you didn't already know. This stamp is called 'Time Flies'. Boy, it sure does! I painted her with my Tim Holtz Distress Inks. and for the flower I used my white acrylic paint and speckled it everywhere. It really looks like she's blowing the flower and making a wish. I'm so pleased with the outcome of this card!

 

The papers are Pion Designs and most of the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, there are a few from Live, Love Crafts. The banner die is from Whiff of Joy, and the die that the image is cut out on is from Little Darlings, Oh, and the butterfly doily dies are from Magnolia. The little wooden pieces are from Studio Calico.

 

I hope you like my card as much as I do.

Have a great day! I know I will, although today is Monday, it's my Friday! :)

For some reason I wanna yell Yabba Dabba Doooooooo!!!!!

 

Here's a few challenges I'd like to enter my card in.

Anything Goes at Magnolia-licious!

 

 

 Hi there my crafty peeps!

Today we have a new challenge over at Magnolia-licious. Our theme is Anything Goes. I have never colored this Magnolia image and being so close to Valentine's Day I though I'd give it a shot! Of course it's out of stock at Magnolia-licious. BUT-- there's so many cute Valentine's themed stamps. So check them out! I actually water colored this image. I have used my DI in a while and after being so inspired by Jenny Hodges at CHA I just had to get these bad boys out! 

 

I hope you will join us at Magnolia-licious this week!

Have a fabulous day!

"W"ednesday Magnolia-licious Inspiration!

 

Hello crafty peeps!

Today I have a new project to show you using the new Wild Rose Studio stamps from

 Magnolia-licious. I used my new Distress Ink Markers --Thank you Angie! I'm a little rusty with using them since I haven't water-colored in a while. They sure are fun to use, though. I've altered this adorable little kraft box. I'm really trying to think outside the card lately! :)

 

I am going to be a little quiet this month since I'm going to be moving. I'll be posting still just not as much and most of the things I'll be posting will be scheduled.

 

I hope you will pop on over on the Magnolia-licious Blog to see some more "W"ednesday projects from the ever so talented Magnolia-licious designers.

 

Have a wonderful day!

Another Christmas scene card.

It's Friday once again. I know it doesn't look like I've been doing much lately but I really have been pretty busy with some stuff I just cannot show you just yet. Soon enough, though.

Have any of you seen the new CardMaker Magazine. I haven't but guess who's on.. page 14 (I think) YUP.. ME!!!! I cannot wait to see it in person. My friend sent me a picture of the page and it looks great!

Well I've got 6 days to go and I leave to Puerto Rico!! I can't wait. :)

Ok now for today's card, which is for Fussy and Fancy. Our theme is Thankful. I couldn't help using my new Christmas Magnolia's. I made my own sentiment. Then I took my silver filgree corners from Wild Orchid and made a tree with them to match my blue and silver theme. I wasn't sure about the whole card.. but I really like my painting in this one. The liquid pearls makes the perfect snow! Angie inspired me with the card she made the other day, you can see it HERE.

I have so much stuff I want to do on my blog and just cannot seem to find the time.. hopefully soon.

Have a wonderful day.

Time for another challenge over at Just Magnolia and hAngler. I made this card a few months ago. I showed it to Angie and she really wanted it so I sent her an early Christmas card. :) I used my DI's and really added a lot of layers.

A Monochrome Challenge at TOMIC!

Today I have a card to share for TOMIC! Our challenge is Monochrome. I decided to use browns. This was the first card I made since returning from my visit with Angie (thank you again for such a wonderful time). Her work is truly amazing, I just loved seeing all her cards in person. She really inspired me to pull out my Distress Inks when I came home. It's been about a year since I've painted with them. Don't you just love when you haven't used something, then when you pull it out it's brand new all over again! :)

Farewell Tilda......Farewell Summer!

Happy September 1st! I cannot believe how fast this year is going by! It's going to be Christmas before you know it! This month over at Magnolia-licious Highlights our theme is chosen by the one and only Becca Feeken and she has chosen our theme to be "Bon Voyage" So you need to use a stamp from the adorable Bon Voyage Collection, and you need to either make a suitcase or backpack. Suzanne Dean has a great tutorial for the suitcase and you can find the backpack tutorial over on splitcoast.

This card is also for Really Reasonable Ribbon's Challenge, Our theme over on the RRR blog is Flowers. I used my white ruffled ribbon to go around my rosebuds, it adds so much more to the flower and gives it a great vintage feel. Dont ya think?

If you haven't seen the new Autumn 2010 Collection you must drop everything you are doing and hurry and pre-order every single darling stamp!!! You will LOVE these..
