Weather Ways

Good Morning Friends,

Hope only good things are happening

with you today.

You are not going to believe this,

I am going on holidays!!

Precious time with my Grandchildren

in Disneyland!!!!

Then spending time

with my dear Mom.

So right about now I should be

in the middle of DISNEYLAND :o)

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

Today is another wonderful Challenge

at Magnolia-licious and Wee Challenge Blog.

It is all about the weather in any

way you can think of.

I used a rather old image called:

Tilda with Umbrella from

Spring Butterfly Collection 2009!!!

For some reason I HAD to make

a card about rain.

I love the rain.

It puts me to sleep on winter nights.

I have wonderful cozy days sitting

in front of the fire with a 

hot chocolate,

and I love walking in the rain any 

time of year.

Besides which I had some

awesome 'bought design paper' to use LOL

Not digital for a change!

Here is my card:

Plain and simple today.

The paper is from

'My Minds Eye - quite contrary',

and it is years old!

My yellow and vanilla card

stock is from Bazzil.

I received the lovely charm as a 

gift when I ordered something

online :o)

The ribbon is from SU, as is my

sentiment.

I have coloured with my usual

Copics and I have used 

Crystal Lacquer for every rain drop

and over the puddle.

Here is a close-up of Tilda:

I doubt you can see the

lacquer on the rain drops.

Here are a couple more pictures:

This card is not a side opening one -

believe it or not this one opens 'up'.

The top inside looks like this:

The bottom like this:

The umbrella die is from

Diana's Store.

You can find it HERE

Can you see my 3 little rain drops?

You may have figured out by now that

I am on Team A for the Challenges.

*So next Tuesday you will see Team B's

beautiful work.*

Remember to follow the rules

 and come on and join the fun!

package from Diana.

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:

Happy Mother's Day

Hello Dear Friends,

Hope you are all well and having

lovely spring weather by now.

It's another MAGNOLIA-LICIOUS

AND WEE STAMP CHALLENGE.

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.

Inside - left:

I hope you have enjoyed my

MAGNOLIA-LICIOUS AND WEE CHALLENGE

Good morning sweet friends!

I hope you are all well and busy

making cards :o)

Today is another Challenge

at MAGNOLIA-LICIOUS WEE BLOG

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:

Today it is Wee Wednesday

at Magnolia-licious / Wee Blog.

This is my first go for Wee Wednesday.

I hope you like my card.

On to my card.

Here is the front:

I coloured with Copic's as always.

I used Spellbinders Scalloped Circles,

Magnolia trees and a few flowers I happened

to have that were the right colour.

After I had everything together I sprayed

the whole card with Glitter Mist, in both

Marshmallow and Iridescent Gold.

First time I have tried this,

I thought since she is an Angel

she should be all glittered up!

Before that I glittered her

wings real good!

I used Crystal Lacquer and Clear Glitter Ritz.

My Card Stock is from SU

Really Rust and Old Olive.

The Design Paper is from

Raspberry Road.

More pics for you :

Thank you ever so much for looking today!

I look forward to your comments

so much :o)

See you again soon.

Tilda and her Bunny

Good Morning Friends,

I sure hope most of you are

finally experiencing Spring Weather!

Today is our new Challenge at:

MAGNOLIA/WEE CHALLENGE BLOG

This time our CHALLENGE is:

Spring is in the Air

************
You may wonder why I choose an
Easter Image?
When I was a young girl
we had two weeks off
for Spring Break. Easter
fell during that time.
The weather was always
sunny and warm by then.
My brother and I always received
new clothes on Easter for
Church and then to wear to school
after that. I can remember lovely
dresses, very light sweaters, new white
cotton gloves and new shoes.
What a thrill it was LOL

***********

Please remember to follow the new rules :o)

To enter our Challenge: you must use

either a Magnolia image or a Wee image.
