TOMIC Challenge 10 - Masking

Happy Monday Everyone,

Hope you all had a fabulous weekend. Thanks for dropping by. There's another challenge on over on  TOMIC  Wow, Challenge 10 already, where has the time gone - This week we are asking for MASKING. I hope you will join in, if you need some help, Camilla has made a step by step tutorial for you and don't forget Magnolia Sweden will send a lucky Maggie lover a surprise package selected by random.

 I know I need lots of practice, I normally cut my images out then pop them up on foam tape for dimension. I inked up some old favourites from the Bon Voyage Collection. I love to shop as most girls do, so I couldn't resist these adorable stamps.

Rocking Tilda

Happy Wednesday Friends,

I'm back with my promised card to share with you. This is Rocking Tilda from Magnolia's Sweet Rainbow Collection.  I remember when I was little, I had a sparkly pink hoola hoop just like it, but I was a bit unco and spent most of my time trying to keep it from falling to the ground.

 The gorgeous papers are from the same collection, I love the pink gingham paper, it will be another favourite. The rainbow paper has such pretty colours and reminds me of gelato icecream, yum. I also love love love this sweet "Wishing You" text, it will perfect for so many occasions and the  fabulous Doohickey Dies I've used are Swirly Butterfly & Heart Swirl

I dusted off my Cricut to make this little matching purse, I'm sure this would brighten any little girls day if she received this with a little gift - I used the Forever Young Cartridge. The beautiful flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, the flower border is a Martha Stewart punch.

I hope you'll join the new challenge Stitching Real or Faux this week at TOMIC The Official Magnolia Inspiration Challenge, the girls have made some more amazing creations with lots of inspiration.

It is long overdue for some blog candy, pop back in a few days and I will have something posted.

I hope you have a wonderful day.

How sweet is the little flying fairy, she stopped by for a rest in the tulips.

Hi Everyone,

I hope you have had a great week, we've had days & days of heavy rain, but today it's lovely and sunny, so this is a quick post, so I can go & enjoy some sunshine.

I made this adorable Watering Can with a couple of my Mini Magnolias. I spotted this tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers a while back and have been meaning to give it a go. I noticed Hanna my Magnolia Teamie made one and oh my goodness how amazing is Hanna's (& she is only 15 yrs old) of course mine is not as beautiful, but I had fun making it all the same.

TOMIC Challenge # 6 - Make a Scene

Happy Monday Everyone,

There's another challenge on over on the TOMIC Challenge blog. It's not my turn this week, but I put my hand up to help them out this week. Challenge 6  Make a scene - dimensional. This was certainly a challenge for me, I'm not very good at combining stamps, but the other DT's have created some amazing scenes for inspiration for you all.

Here is a side view to show the dimension - I stamped Rainbow & Clouds twice, for dimension. Tilda was stamped 3 times, parts of her were popped up for even more dimension.

Rose Leaf & Heart Swirl - Doohickey Dies

Hope you are having a wonderful week. I've had this card half finished on my desk for a while. I love this rich paper from Prima, it's Christmas range, but I thought it would work well for the vintage look I was after.

I cut both the suitcase and Tilda out to give some dimension, hope you can see it in this photo.

I've coloured with both Copics and Prisma Pencils.

The frame is by Tim Holtz

and the flowers are a mixture of handmade & from Wild Orchid Crafts.

All other dies are from MFT & Spellbinders.

Inside I've used the very versatile Magnolia Loving Border Stamp from the You are so Special Collection. The pocket can be used for a rubber stamp, chocolate, gift card or tag with a special message.

Thanks for visiting, I hope you'll join us at TOMIC for the new challenge this week, I've had a sneak peak at the Magnolia Girls creations and they are amazing.
