Magnolia-licious August challenge! (and the winner is...)

Good morning! Our challenge this month is a T Slide card and is brought to us by Mindy! Here is the tutorial link on SCS-T Slide Card. I recommend watching the video so you can see how it goes together. The cutting and score lines are a little tricky on the written tutorial.
Another thing to be careful of is where you put the focal image and the end (and the size of it). I had to take mine apart because I wanted it centered. It can't be centered because the card won't open fully unless the edge is on the score line of the dp. If you want it centered, make the focal piece about 3.5" wide.

The Pier Fence with Lifebuoy (#615) and (#122) Edwin w/ binoculars and (#413) Pelican are available for Pre Order from Bon Voyage Collection, coming soon!

You can see here that the inside says "Ahoy!"

Since I took so many pictures, I won't prattle on today! We hope you will join us during the month of August and try this challenge. One lucky participant will will your choice of TWO Magnolia images from Magnolia-licious!

Birthday Unwrapped!

Whooo Hooo, It's Friday! The weekend is here!
I'm meeting my friend, Lisa this morning to visit our LSS, which is over an hour away from where I live! The owner is just terrific so I usually make a card to take to her. This is the card I'm taking to Sharon today! I love how others have taken this Christmas image and re purposed her!

I used the following colors on her, Unwrapped Tilda available at Magnolia-licious

Hair- Y21, E97, E99, E29

Box E43, E25, E50

Pinks-R000, R81, R83, R85 and R89

Blue/Green BG0000, BG01, BG13

To distress the pinks and blues I added a little E43 and E42 on top and then blended with R000 and BG0000 respectively.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful weekend!

Apple pie box

Good morning! I made this box using instructions my friend, Tracy Harp created for Cornish Heritage Farms. Here's an example on her blog Inky Doodles. Her goal was to create a box which would hold a small canning jar for all the homemade goodies she gives away at holiday time. I can imagine a jar of apple butter or apple jelly in this, but I'm not domestic in that way, so for me it would hold an apple cider candle or some other small gift!
I am struggling with getting my photos where I want them on my laptop so I hope you'll forgive the short post. I'm also on some pain drugs to help with my hip and back pain while they figure out what is causing it. I probably won't even make it through Dancing with the Stars!

I do have the colors jotted down, but will add them tomorrow. I also want to give a shout out to my friend, Lisa who is part of the JUGS challenge (Just us Girls). She chose the colors for the challenge this week and that is what guided my colors. Here's Lisa's blog, Kind Creations
Check it out!

And finally, I have a winner of last Monday's card for the Magnolia-licious accessories challenge. My winner is number 38, which is Jan Farnsworth. Jan, could you contact me at DROWLEY6@stny.rr.com

If I don't hear from her by Friday, I will choose again. Thanks for your patience, everyone!

Thanks for visitng today! See you tomorrow!
