Saturated Canary - Pastel Challenge

Well hello all!

 

HEre's my card for the Saturated Canary Challenge this week. Our theme is Pastels. I love the way this card came out. It's been so long since I've colored an image without adding all of the dark shading with the greys, so this was a nice change. This image is just adorable, Krista Smith is one oober talented gal! I used my Sunday Morning Digi Papers.

 

Well, today I'm getting ready to take my son to the High School for a pre-orientation.

OMG!! HIGH SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!

Ok.. I'm gonna go cry! Do you think he will hate me if I take my camera?

 Probably.

 

Have a terrific Easter Everyone. I'm not sure if I have a post this weekend scheduled.. need to check my DT calendar... ok ta ta for now!

Hello crafty peeps!

 

Here's a card I made using the newest release from Lili of the Valley.

 I just love these little furry cuties! Oh, and did you see the new stitch stamps! Love these!!

 I wanted to make this a 'chocolate looking bunny' since we will be making this in my next class at This and That Scrapbooking in Chino Hills, Ca on March 6th. If you are in the Southern California area you should come on down! You can see more information on the

This and That Scrapbooking Facebook page.

 

I sure have been busy over the last few weeks. Making projects, papers and I'm so excited about all of the things I've been working on. I've got a busy posting week ahead and I'm going to TRY to be a little more active with my postings.

 

I have a new Digi-Paper Collection coming out this week and I LOVE it.

I can't wait to show you.

 

I've also re-organized my Craft Armoire.. so a tour will be posted soon. If you don't have a whole lot of extra money to spend or space to spare you wont want to miss my little tour!

 

Ok, well I'm off to bed. I'll be posting again tomorrow. I want to start posting

'Scrapbook Sundays' ohhh.. Scrapbook Sunday with StampinMindy.

Catchy, ehh?

 

I'm really loving Instagram, I highly recommend it. You don't get all the notifications when other people comment or post, unless they direct it to you. So join and follow me. I post sneak peeks, projects and random everyday moments. :)

Eggstra Special Easter Card!

It's time for another challenge over at Lili's Little Fairies. This week our theme is 'Anything Goes'.

I decided to make an easter card since that's theme over at this week's Cute Card Thursday Challenge. I just love this Lili of the Valley Stamp - Blossom. I decided to pair this image up with this Magnolia background. It turned out pretty cute. These images made up a large scene so I just used an entire 8 1/2 x 11 piece of cardstock and scored it at 5 1/2. It's huge in real life.. LOL!

Anywho.. I hope you will join us at Lili's Little Fairies and Cute Card Thursday!

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.
