My Friend in Kansas!

Hi! I've got a friend in Kansas! No, it's not Dorothy, it's Helen! I don't know if you remember this Post?
It was for our Halloween Blog Hop for Magnolia-licious!
I promised one commenter that I would make them a card and send them a Magnolia stamp! My winner was Helen and she has received her package so I can post this now! Helen's request was for a Christmas card so I took this Stylish Tilda (actually from a fall collection, I think!) and put her in her Christmas outfit! Love those green wool shorts! This Tilda is not only Stylish, but she is Sooooo versatile. I could also put her in Autumn or Spring colors. Sometimes I cut the wings off for a different look.

I THINK I have the colors (of copics used) written somewhere so I will edit and post them later. The swirls are a punch, flowers are primas, paper is Basic Grey.

I also think that Helen likes her card! I also sent her the Sitting Winter Tilda! I may give another prize like this is the near future! My blogoversary is coming up SOON!

Wishing you a Magnolia-licious day!

Hi! So sorry I didn't get a post done yesterday!

Here is another Stylish Tilda for you to look at, but wear your sunglasses 'cuz she's bright!!

I was totally inspired by this card a couple of weeks ago what was made by Aud. Yeah, it's great!! My card also fits this week's Friday Sketchers Challenge.

My card base is Purely Pomegranate (don't know what I'll do when my stash is gone!), then a layer of Pumpkin Pie. The dps are Lucky from Basic Grey and K& Co from the Raspberry pad.

I used my Fiskars' Lattice punch that punches the corners and the sides.

I used my Scor-bug to make the perforations in the paper and then added faux stitches.

I have one more card that I have made with this Tilda to show you soon, but I will wait and do some other things first!

Here are the copic colors:

BV00 (wings)

E000, E01, E93 (skin and cheeks)

E33, E25 and E37 (hair and boots

Y38 YR16 hat and buttons

RV21, RV02, RV04, RV09, RV17 and RV19 (shorts and sweater)

I have had a couple of questions about things and I PROMISE I will get back to you! I have to find the answers!

Thanks for visiting

A Magnolia-licious Challenge for September!

Hi! There was no time (and no card!!) to post yesterday, but I DO have my September project ready for today! Yeah!!

Queen Diana challenged us to make this really cool file folder project! I won't go into too much detail because I am sure you have seen the wonderful projects already made by our DT! If not, here is the link to the challenge blog:

Magnolia-licious Highlites

And here is the link to the DIRECTIONS

for making it! You will want to try it because you can win $25.00 from Diana's store!!

Speaking of her store the Tilda I used is Stylish Tilda. She is an "older" Tilda now, but I just love her. She does have wings, but I cut them off for this project. I don't see her in Diana's store just now but when I looked I saw about 30 others that would work perfectly! Wouldn't sunflower Tilda have been great?! Hmmmm....

STORY

Diana was once told (by the people in Sweden) that ALL the Tildas are angels, but sometimes you cannot see their wings! AND, they added, the reason there is no mouth is because angels speak with their hearts! Can I hear an AWWWWwwww!

I have never been bothered by them only having eyes for their features. Have you?

My paper is Bloom from My Mind's Eye. I had mine made and ripped it apart after going to a stationary store and buying cream colored envelopes. It just looks better to me! The brown closure looked too plain when I was finished so I stamped it in vintage cream ink with a stamp from SUs Carte Postale! Aren't we forever changing (and improving) our projects!

Okay, lots to do today! I hope to get a post ready for tomorrow and it is another beautiful day for cleaning and sorting! Wishing YOU a productive day and I thank you again for visiting me here.
