My First Layout in Years

Hope you all had wonderful weekend. I was so inspired by the lovely layouts over at the Flying Unicorn Forum, that I decided to make one myself. It's probably been close to 10 years since I scrapbooked anything and they were much more basic (and my kids were much smaller...lol). You will definitely be seeing more layouts from me. I really enjoyed making this.

The paper is from Pink Paislee's Butterfly Garden and was in my July kit from the Flying Unicorn store. I just got this great butterfly by Sizzix and thought it would be perfect with this paper.

I bought some cheese cloth a while ago to use for my card making but hadn't gotten around to using it yet. So I decided it was time to pull it out and try it on something. Here's a close up below.

The lace and flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

You Hold the Key

Happy Wednesday everyone! We're half way through the week. I have an easel card to share today. The challenge over at Magnolia Stamp Lovers is "Graduation or Congratulations". This is for a friend's daughter who is graduationg high school.

I used some of the digital papers from Webster's Pages on the front of the card and on the tag. The beautifu organza rose ribbon on the tag and inside the card is from Maya Road. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. Tilda was colored with Copics and the script background is a stamp from Glitz. Throw in some Tim Holtz film strip ribbon and adage ticket and...Voila.

Here's a close up of the tag using a corner cut from some of the Webster's Pages. I also used the "I believe I can fly" stamp from Magnolia and added some lace and twine (Hope it's enough lace for the Just Magnolia and Bunny Zoe's challenges).

Challenges I'd like to enter this in:

Magnolia Stamp Lovers - Graduation/Congratulations

Just Magnolia - Lacey

Bunny Zoe's - Lacey

Creative Card Crew - Cute and Girly

Thanks for stopping by. I have another card to post hopefully today.

Tilda and Edwin In Love

Happy Saturday! Hope everyone is enjoying better weather than the chilly rain we're having here in Philadelphia. I've been dying to use these beautiful stamps with Tilda and Edwin and the Rose Trellis. The challenge over at Magnolia-licious Highlites is to use both Tilda and Edwin on your card. I've colored them with Copics and added some glossy accent to the flowers on Edwin and Tilda. I also added some perfect pearls to Tilda's hair and her earrings. I managed to get my hands on a couple rolls of that raffia lace. It's so difficult to find over here in the states.



The beautiful flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. Their challenge this week is Wings, so I've added some butterflies using my Martha Stewart punch.

Hope you like it. Thanks for stopping by and I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter holiday.

Tilda in the Garden

Happy Wednesday! Two quick posts today. This is the first card I have to share with you. My daughter needed a birthday card for her boyfriends mother, so I had this one colored already and put together this card for her. I even dusted off the sewing maching and stitched around the edges. I distressed the edges with my TH paper tool and added some tears here and there. The circle sentiment is from Lily of the Valley. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

I used the Romantic Hearts Doo Hickey for the edge of the card and around the circle sentiment inside the card.

Thanks for stopping by.

Tilda blowing hearts for Valentine's Day

Hello. Well...as I mentioned in my last post, I'm addicted to all things Magnolia now. It's been like Christmas at my house all over again. Except all the gifts have been for me...hee hee! After being laid off for over two years and then having to work two jobs, I've been blessed with getting my old job back...YEAH!!!! And my DH said to celebrate it, I could spend my first paycheck on myself. So....I treated myself to a whole bunch of Magnolia stamps and some Doo Hickeys too.

Since I now have weekends off again, I spent it making my Valentine's Day cards. I also tried some new things. This card being one of them. It's a tealight card but I'm going to put some candy in it instead.

The challenge at Magnolialicious Highlites is Hearts, Pink, White and Silver. The image is Tilda Blowing Hearts. I colored her with Copics and added some stickles on her wings and the leaves and swirls. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. I'm also entering this in the Magnolia Down Under challenge, whose theme is Love and the Magnolia Stamp Lovers theme of Glitter.

Hope you like it. Thanks for stopping by!
