Friends

Good Morning Peeps :o)

Today is Mini Monday
at Magnolia-licious and Wee Challenge Blog
Myself, Mindy and Sharon,
have made cards for your inspiration.

Diana's Store is one of the very few 
that carry these Mini's.

I have used 3 mini's on my card
today. "Teddy Bear Love",
"The Best thing in Life" sentiment.
As well as a mini from Alota Rubber
stamps called "Friends Clothes Line"


I also used DooHickey Fence Die
and DooHickey Swirl.
I used Marianne rose circle to 
make the roses.The pearls
are from my stash. I 
also used Crystal Stickles.

Here's a wee close up of Tilda:


The sentiment:


and the rather plain inside:


The Design Paper is from
Raspberry Road,
the card stock from
Bazzil.
All the papers have been
distressed with Tim Holtz
Linen Distress Ink.

I hope you can make it
to all our blogs to see
what we have for you.

** every Monday the MINI'S
are on sale until MIDNIGHT PST.
Great time to place your order **

And don't forget

Thank you for dropping
in today. I love getting
your wonderful comments :o)

Love, Candy

Happy Mother's Day

Hello Dear Friends,

Hope you are all well and having
lovely spring weather by now.

It's another MAGNOLIA-LICIOUS

I hope you will want to join us once
you have checked out the Design
Team's Cards :o)
They are ALWAYS 
'to die for'.

For my card today I have made
my mother a Mother's Day card.
Our Challenge is to 'use Vellum'.
I don't think I have ever used Vellum
before - sure can't remember it if I did.

I had no idea what you could do with it,
so I am afraid I took the easy way out!!

I chose from Love Collection 2013
#355 Tilda with a Little Pocket.
You will find her right HERE
in DIANA'S STORE.



I have used one of the new
Spellbinders Dies called
Opulent Ovals, as well as 
the plain oval.
Shiny Bazzil Card Stock
and a flowered piece of
vellum.
I also have used a Doohickey
Corner Die.
Seam Binding from 
The Ribbon Girl.

Here is a better look at Tilda:








You can see I used another 
Doohickey lace die for the bottom.
The charm, rhinestones, and
purple lace are all from my stash.

The tag was made by myself
and I did the writing as well.


The inside:




The sentiment is from Quietfire Designs
made by Suzanne Cannon.
All the butterflies are
punches from Martha Stewart.

I hope you have enjoyed my
work today.

MAGNOLIA-LICIOUS AND WEE CHALLENGE

Good morning sweet friends!

I hope you are all well and busy
making cards :o)

Today is another Challenge

Todays Challenge is:
Buttons. Bows or Beads.
I managed to put them all on my card :o)

Today I have used: #3030 Tilda in Bath Cap
from the Prince and Princess Collection 2012.
You can find Tilda HERE



I am sorry about the light shining
in the picture. I tried turning it this way and
that - but there was no getting away from the
shine :o(

I made a shaker card today.
Tilda is in the bathtub playing with
bubbles and her little plastic duck.

I hope you can see my pretty button
on top of the double bow I made.
The beads are white and blue
and are my 'shakers'.

The design paper I used is so old
I am afraid I can't remember who
it belongs to, I 'think' SU.
The button is from the SU Catalogue.
The pretty ribbon is from my stash as are 
the beads.

I have also used Crystal Lacquer
and sprinkled a tiny bit of Dazzling Diamonds
in it while it was wet. Both are from SU.
I used Best Glue Ever at DIANA'S STORE

I have a few close up pictures for you:




The top on the inside:

*Don't forget to comment
on as many blogs and DT girls
as you can. DIANA is giving 
out a great surprise package
for one lucky entry.*


Also if you tell a friend on Facebook
about Magnolia-licious and she
buys a stamp from Diana,
you will receive 5% of
that stamp price for yourself!!


**DID YOU KNOW THERE IS
A BRAND NEW COLLECTION
OF MAGNOLIA STAMPS
IN DIANA'S STORE?
IT IS RIGHT HERE!!
It is called ONCE UPON
A TIME 2013**
BEST TO BUY BEFORE THE
THE FIRST ONES ARE SOLD OUT.
IT IS SO HARD TO WAIT FOR
THE REORDERS :o)

Love, Candy
