Blog Hop for June at Magnolia-licious and Wee Challenge Blog

Hi Friends,

It is great to see you all again!

It is time for another awesome
Blog Hop at

The Design Team has
made wonderful things to get
your imagination flowing!

If you have arrived here from
MINDY'S BLOG,
you are in the right place

************

I am SO STUPID!!!

I have made a huge mistake and
made for the wrong season!!!!

I can't tell you how sorry I am!

Might as well show what I did though.....

Christmas Tree Ornaments!!!


I bought a wonderful collection 
of frames from Michael's
some time ago.
I think these are the sweetest Christmas
gifts for friends, neighbours, or teachers.

Here are my gifts:



They are so charming.

Perhaps you can tell I have
used MINI Magnolia Stamps.
I used  'Tilda with Hanging Heart'
'Tilda with Hanging Star' from the Christmas
Collection 2010. I have also used Edwin on
Christmas Eve.

Here are some close-ups of them all:




I used Glitter Ritz on them all.
Each Tilda has it on their wings
and Edwin has snow with it 
all around him and under his feet.




I found it hard to take pictures
without the light showing :o(

Please forgive me for the terrible 
mistake I have made.

Next in the line up is 
I am positive she has made
something delightful for you :o)

*I buy all my Magnolia and Wee Stamps

and her service is fast and accurate!*

Enjoy the Hop and see you
again soon.

Love, Candy

A little Vintage

Good Morning Dear Friends,

Hope you are all well and are
having some nice summer weather.
Ours was great during May,
but June has been cloudy and rainy.
Actually that is the usual around here.
It should get sunny again in July - hopefully!

I am finally back from my Disneyland Adventure.
What fun we all had!!!
I am just amazed at everything there,
and how clean it is!! Everyone we met, in lines
or in stores were so kind and helpful.

Unfortunately the night we returned home
my D-I-L's Grandmother fell and broke
her hip and the doctor didn't expect her
to live more than a couple of days.
I stayed to babysit while she went
to Winnipeg for the funeral etc.

Well, it's about time we talked about Magnolia-licious
The Challenge is on till June 24th at midnight!
This one is 'Lucious Lace'
Can be paper lace too....

I used #3043 Vintage Bridal Couple from
the new 'Special Moments Collection'.

June has always been the month for
Weddings.
I really tried to make this card
'Vintage' since the stamp is Vintage.
Don't know how I did?

You can look here:

I used some old ecru lace that I have
had for ages. I used it all around the card
and made a flower out of it as well.

I have wanted to use feathers for a long
time and thought they would be
OK because Vintage Hats all have
feathers on them :o)
as well.

The Sentiments are from LOTV.
I made the pin and used another
Pearl for the flower centre.



I started with Kraft card stock from SU
Then added a dark peach card stock from Bazzil.
My design paper is from Graphic 45.
I also used my very latest Spellbinder Dies
called Radiant Rectangles.
Every piece has been distressed with
TH Antique Linen.

One last look up close for you:


I am really sorry to say that
I forgot about writing down the
colours I used. They were all
Copics of course :o(
