HOT LITTLE TILDA

Good Morning Peeps :o)

I love that word!

* I have blog candy today *

Today's Challenge at

Magnolia-licious and Wee Challenge Blog

is 

SOME LIKE IT HOT

I have used # 398 Tilda in Key Largo

from the Summer Memories Collection

2012.

The weather has been strange for some time. Fortunately (or unfortunately LOL ) at my house

( this week ) it is hot hot hot!

Little Tilda decided to take a long 

bike ride, having no idea how hot she

would get! As she past the lake

she just had to take a dip.

card front:

She had her new summer dress on 

and knew she couldn't get it wet, so she

waded in as deep as she could.

She took of her sunglasses and laid

her bike safely on the grass.

The sun was beating down on her,

but getting her feet and legs wet

made her feel so much better.

open at one fold

For today I made a different kind

of folded card. I am sorry I can't 

remember what it is called or where

I saw it :o(  It might be called

a side fold?

right side when open

On the left side there is a mountain 

and two valley folds - so there is a lot

of room for writing. Also that is

how it stands up.

I used a punch from Michael's Reflection 

Line which is a summer theme of

sand castles, pails and shovels.

I punched both the top and

bottom of my card and used

quite a bit of Tim Holtz

distress ink: Vintage Photo

to make it stand out.

I have used Nitwits Paper

called Hello Sunshine for my design paper.

The whole card, back and front

are covered completely with it.

My Card Stock is Whisper White from S.U.

As well as Tilda, the sun is a Magnolia

Stamp called: Tilda's sun.

Both dies are from Magnolia as well.

I punched out two grasses in

different colour greens, and the bicycle

which I used the same Distress Ink,

plus some Stickles.

I alternated the grass and slid the

bike down and between the grass.

The sun was stamped on my paper,

coloured and cut out.

The rays of the sun are bent in 

different ways and fall off

the card.

This is my first time using

Frantage! I love it, but

learned I need to apply it

differently next time.

I also used the blue Pearl Pen

for the first time on my card.

Believe it or not I have practiced

quite a while with it to get

my pearls perfected. BUT 

when I took the lid off

and turned it over to use

it dropped like water on my card :o(

It was so hot in my house it

had melted!! So of course it

doesn't look good at all.

The glasses are from my stash 

and the seashells are some that

I have collected. They are so tiny.

Most of my shells are a lot larger,

but these ones were so pretty.

You must check out 

DIANA'S STORE.

The last collection called

'Special Moments'

is just lovely for

Wedding and Anniversary Cards,

and more.

A little bird has told me there

is already another Collection 

on its way soon!!!!

So keep watching :o)

Diana has so many other things in her store

besides stamps. She has paper with

matching envelopes, charms, many die

companies, glue, tape, Spectrum Noir Pens

 - you name it.

A wonderful array of special things!

I buy everything from Diana.

Her service is quick, her prices are

THE BEST, and she is just

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

Magnolia-licious/Wee Challenge Blog

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 

JANE.

I am positive she has made

something delightful for you :o)

*I buy all my Magnolia and Wee Stamps

from the lovely DIANA

Enjoy the Hop and see you

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(

HAVE YOU ORDERED FROM THIS

BRAND NEW SPECIAL MOMENTS

Good Morning Peeps,

Butterflies are the name of the day.

I have used #229

'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
and Chocolate Chip ( yum! )

as well as the bugs ( butterflies for today )
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.

I am going on holidays!!

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

package from Diana.
