My Mom's Bday card

It was my Mom's birthday this week and I wanted to make her a special card. I used this magical Tilda for her card. We are celebrating on Sunday with a family dinner for her Birthday.

I tried to play along with a few of the Magnolia challenges while I was at it.

Sweet Tilda

The other day I was shopping at Hobby Lobby and found this material. I loved the colors and bought some even though I didn't have a project for it. I decided to make a babt quilt with it. I was browsing the paper section at Hobby Lobby and found they had paper in the same pattern as the material.


Here is my card using the coordinating paper. I used this older Tilda. This is one of the first Magnolias I owned.
A few Challenges I'm joining:
Friday Sketchers
All That Scraps-Die Cuts
Crafty Little Place-tag (nestability fancy tag)

My very favorite Edwin

I got a chance to color up my favorite Edwin. This little guy has been seriously neglected as are many of my stamps. I finally cut up this super cute Cosmo Cricket boyfriend paper. I used Acetate for the base of my card, kind of a nice change..even if it doesn't photography well.

Hope you are having a great weekend. Thanks for stopping by!

KLSNS Challenge #17- Red/Black/White

Happy Saturday! Today is another KLSNS challenge and it's a color challenge Red, White, & Black. I used a Magnolia stamp and some cute Valentines buttons from KLSNS. The last of the Magnolia stamps are on sale over at KLSNS.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend and a LOVELY pre Valentine's Day! Just want to say THANK YOU for all the sweet comments you leave on my blog!

Stampin & Scrappin with Jacilynn

Today is my turn to host Stampin N Scrappin at KLSNS. My 1st project is a purse with a Nestabilities flower. I cut the bag out with my Cricut and used a HH Bunny Love stamp from KLSNS. The Basic Grey paper and Nestabilities are also available in the store.

Practical Scrapper wants to see Brads this week.
Die Cuts R Us & Simon Says Stamp's Challenge is Love.
Stamp with Fun Challenge is Hearts.


And now for details on how to make the Nestability flowers. You can use Nestabilities or any circle punch or die. This flower works great with two sided design paper.







Cut 8 circles from Double sided Design Paper. I used my smallest circle Nestie. Since I wanted to use Basic Grey paper, which is only one sided I had to cut 16 circles (8 of two colors of paper) and glued together.



I folded the edges up so they overlap slightly and come to a point at the bottom. And add your 8 folded pieces into a circle.
Embellish center of flower or leave plain. Have a Happy Wednesday.

KLSNS Challenge 12

Today is a KLSNS Challenge. It is a color challenge of Pink, Black + a neutral. I used some Basic Grey paper, a Magnolia image and my nestabilities which are alll sold at KLSNS. A prize is drawn once a month to all challenge participants. So hop on over here and check out the other DT creations and play along!

Clean Cookin Tilda

I love this new Tilda. I love to cook and bake, so any Tildas that are cooking theme are on my favorites list. I tried to do the CAS thing again and like this attempt more than some in the past.

I used the sketch over at SFOS and blue is the theme at Crafty Creations. Thanks for stopping by today!

Witchy Tilda

How cute is this Bo Bunny paper? It was a difficult one to cut into. lol My friend Lisa sent me this super cute Halloween Tilda, Thanks Lady! Please ignore the crazy embellishments, I don't know what I was trying to do??
I love Halloween and Fall. Something about Fall weather just makes me happy. Hope everyone is having a great week!

Killing birds with stones...again

I haven't had much time to craft lately and I got my new summer Magnolia kit. I've been wanting to play with these for the past week and finally got my chance. I tried to fit in a few challenges when making this card. Stamp Something's challenge is pink, green, & yellow. I used the sketch at Sketch Saturday. Roses on Paper theme is Summer. And I paper pieced Tilda's Itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow poka dot swim suit. Even though you can't tell from this pic, the yellow paper has a light print on it and I thought it would show up more. Paper piecing is Simon Says Stamps theme.

Sorry for the fuzzy pic, I'm gonna have to spend some time learning more about my camera. I have a nice camera and am not using it to it's potential. Thank for stopping by today.

Strawberry Limeade anyone?

I don't love soda or juice, but every once in a while I will take the kiddies to Sonic and I always get the Strawberry Limeade. So I had to have this paper when I saw it.

I followed the color challenge over at Roses on Paper which is Pink, Yellow, and Green. Did you know they were doing a guest designer call? Yep, it's true. Also Cute Card Thursday theme is Die cuts.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Long Lost Tilda

I realized the other day that it's been quite a while since I made a card with Tilda. I have more Magnolia stamps than any other kind and I really really love them. So I just had to color up this sweet Tilda. I used the sketch over at Simon Says Stamp for this. Also, Papertake Weekly wants us to use up some scraps.
Welcome back Tilda! Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Birthday Cake

My favorite 3 colors are Pink, Red, & Orange. I didn't think you should combine these until a few years ago when my SIL had these colors for her wedding. Her bouquet was red, orange and pink Gerber Daisies. It was beautiful.

I did this card for my Sis, who's Bday is coming up. I combined my 3 favortie colors on the cake. I used this Magnolia Cake image that Linda sent me. She's the sweetest BTW.

I did this card for a couple of challenges. KL Stampin N Scrappin is doing a challenge and giving a way an amazing prize. Spellbinders Alphabet dies!!!!!! All you have to do is make something using an item they sell, which is a no brainer cause they carry all the best stuff. Magnolias, CB's nesties, BG etc etc. I used Tilda w/ Tag which they carry in their store!!!!

And I used the sketch from Cupcake Craft Challenge . And Papertake Weekly which is a recipe of : ribbon, circle, & image. Easy Cheesy!

Thanks for stopping by and Thanks for all the wonderful, sweet, kind comments!

Katharina's Sketch-HH

I used Katharina's Sketch from the High Hopes Challenge Blog to make this little card. I don't own any High Hopes Stamps, (everyone gasps) but I just love all their images.

As you noticed from post below, I won some candy this week and couldn't wait to use this gorgeous Basic Grey paper that I received. Speaking of Basic Grey did you know there was a challenge blog for BG? I just found this out.

The circle that Tilda is sitting on was made by weaving 1/2 inch strips of paper together, then I glued a little, then I cut with my Nestabilities. I mounded weaved circle on brown card stock and then stitched with my sewing machine. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I love all the great comments!!!!
