January 25th...New Year, New Blog Hop!

Happy 25th of January everyone!

Can you believe it's almost the end of January?  Where did the month go?

This month for the Magnolia-licious Christmas All Year Round Blog Hop I am posting a favorite card of mine using Princess Tilda which can be found in Diana's store here.

Ok, so I made this card a while ago so I'm a bit rusty on where some of my products came from but I'll do my best :) 

I colored my image with distress inks.  Paper is from my stash.  Ribbon was from JoAnn's Crafts.  Flowers are from Crafta.com.  The beaded garland is from Hobby Lobby.  

I absolutely love how this card turned out, it's quite possibly one of my favorites.  

and one of the inside

Now lets hop on over to Kathy's blog and see what wonderful creation she has posted.  If you happened upon my blog, hop on over to Barb's blog and start the hop from the beginning.  If you came from Glenda's blog then you're on the right track!

As you can see in the pics I have added some stickles to her hair bow, capped sleeves, and pocket.  I love the glittery look.

Magnolia-licious Christmas All Year Long Blog Hop Today!

Hello and welcome to the 10th installment of the Magnolia-licious Christmas All Year Long Blog Hop!

The hop starts here! Today I created a cute Christmas card using Jolly Tilda and Peppermint from the Christmas 2010 Collection, both can be purchased from the Magnolia Store found here.

The paper I chose is from Close To My Heart.  The ribbon is from my stash, and was transformed into this fun bow using the Bow Easy.  The candy cane charm and the beaded wrap on the inside are from Roberts Crafts.
I colored my Tilda and Candy Cane using Tim Holtz Distress Inks.
The paper behind Tilda was embossed using a cuttlebug die, but it's hard to see in the pic.

Now lets hop on over to Kathy's blog to see what wonderfully wintery creation she has designed for us.

So Snoowie!

Wow!  It's the 25th of September already.  Today I made a Christmas card, for the Magnolia-licious Christmas All Year Long Blog Hop, using Snoowie with Star instead of a Tilda or Edwin.  I just love this little guy. I colored him with copics on the new Xpress It copic paper, love that stuff, so smooth!
It's a pretty simple card as I was super busy today and could only work a little bit at a time.  I think it's pretty cute tho.
I used paper flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and some bling from my stash as well as some organdy ribbon, also from my stash.

Here is my card: Please excuse the poor photography.  My good camera has a dead battery LOL

If you came from Glenda's blog you're on the right track, but...if you started here, you will want to go back to the beginning with Deb's blog and see all the wonderful creations in order!

You're Just Peachy!

Today, while my husband took our youngest to see Despicable Me, I managed to squeeze in some crop time with my other two kids.  While they were coloring images, I created this card using Peachy Tilda that I got from an image swap.  Now I have to have her LOL

Tilda was colored with Tim Holtz distress inks and copics (for the face).  I used my nesties to cut her out.  The paper is from Karen Foster (red and yellow) and Imaginisce (Green).  The ribbon and lace were from my stash, the charms are also from my stash and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.
I really love how vintage she looks!  Kind of fall-ish too!
Here is my card:

It's Christmas in July...

Today over at the Magnolia-licious yahoo group we are celebrating Christmas in July!
Every 25th of the month Magnolia hosts a Christmas All Year Round blog hop and you're invited!

Starting with Cheryl's Blog you can hop through the Christmas-y creations one by one and feel the chill of the holidays...Can you believe we are half way to Christmas?  Where does the time go?

If you started here please go back to the beginning so you don't miss a thing.  If you can from Glenda's Blog then you're on the right track!

Today my card features Tilda Santa's Little Helper from the 2009 So Jolly/Under The Mistletoe Collection.  I used my Tim Holtz distress inks to color her in except her face, I used E00 and E02 from Copic.  The candy cane is a digital image that was perfect for this card.  It was also colored with distress ink.
The paper I used is from my computer, there's no company, I just searched for Christmas paper and it popped up.  I absolutely love it.  I saved it to my computer and printed it on watercolor paper, I love the texture.
The flowers are from Crafta.com and Wild Orchid Crafts.com.
The edge punch for the card was from Making Memories, I believe...
The crystal garland was from my local craft store and I colored it with some distress re-inker (raisin) to give it some color.
The PEACE charm on the top, right corner of the card is from my stash of charms.

Here is a close-up of little Tilda:

Waiting for Someone...

Look at her...she looks so sad sitting there waiting for someone...I know just who she is waiting for...She is waiting for her mingle partner, Lynn M. over at the Magnolia Cards and Kit Swap Yahoo group!

I used Tilda Longing Tilda from the 2010 Fairy Tale Collection and Castle Window, also from the Fairy Tale Collection.
Paper is from DCWV Princess paper stack, I just love, love, love this paper.  I embellished my card with some flowers from Crafta.com and Wild Orchid Crafts.com as well as some organdy ribbon from CTMH.  The glittery butterflies are from Heidi Swapp.  I used Tim Holtz distress ink to color my little Tilda except for her face, I used E00 from copic.  Once I was done with the card, I sprayed the whole thing down with glitter spray from JoAnn's Crafts.  You can totally see how shiny it is LOL

Here are some more pics of the card I created.

Thanks for looking!

Have a Simply Magnolia Day!
