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

and Wee Challenge Blog.

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(

'Sitting Tilda with Butterfly'

An adorable set!!

I also have 'bought paper'
again today. It is from S.E.I
and is about 15 years old at least!!

My card stock is from SU.
I have used Pink Pirouette

Also a Spellbinders Die.
OH! and my brand new Corner Die
from Joy Craft - I LOVE IT!

This time I stamped Tilda

very often as I am scared! LOL

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!

Don't forget to leave comments

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:

The top on the inside:
