Magnolia April Calendar

Hi all, hope everyone is enjoying some lovely Spring weather. Love seeing the flowers starting to peek out all over!

Here is April's calendar. Stamps by Magnolia, DP is K&Co-Madeline, Die Butterfly by Marianne Design. Colored with Copics & Pencils and I added lace, flowers, etc.

Wishing you a sunshiny day! :)

Loving Easter Greeting

Surprise, two cards in one week! Haven't done that in awhile. :) Made another Eeaster card this time with Bildmalarna stamps. That is a rabbit next to the girl by the way (my hubby thought it was a dog, hahaha). Colored with copics/pencils. And I finally used my Go Kreate dies with this one, love those, this one is Frilly #7. Paper is K&Co, can't go wrong with those paper pads, always a great assortment.

Thanks so much for stopping by and the lovely comments, they always brighten my day! ~hugs

A peek inside.



An Easter Greeting

This sweet little Pure Innocence girl from MFT is one of my favorites, just love that she's in her cute little Easter bonnet and holding that darling little chick. I colored her with copics & primacolor pencils. DP is Kaiser Craft-Lilac Avenue Coll. Added some distress crackle paint-picket fence to the edges...one of my more cleaner cards...my hubby said "it's so plain"! Hahaha

Anyone watching DWTS this season? I'm liking Ingo, Zendaya and Dorothy...Victor's a cutie too!



Ahoy Shadowbox

I love all things beach, nautical & pirate and combined them here for my first shadowbox. Been wanting to do one of these for awhile now and finally found the time to do one. The hard thing was trying to figure out what to use and where to put them, lol. I love palm trees (my name actually means palm tree, which is so cool) and was happy to see K&Co had a paper pad with them in there. :) I got the charms & treasure box on Etsy, dies used: Tim Holtz-Gadget Gears & Magnolia-Pennant Die. Shadowbox is by 7 Gypsies. Cute pirate girls is of course by Magnolia, she's one of my all time fav stamps! Thanks for looking me matey's! ;)

Magnolia March Calendar

For some reason I love making calendars! I didn't make one for myself this year, so I'm doing a Magnolia one now... here's March. Colored with Copics and used lots of stardust stickles. Spray painted the butterfly white and the little chick is from a Pure Innocence digi stamp. Paper is by K&Co, hinges are retired from CTMH (sad about that I sure could use some more!!) vintage digi calendar is by CreaDorena @ Digital Scrapbook Art. I changed the color on it so it would be more spring like. Fabulous vintage hangars are by Melissa Frances...so happy they came out with these!

So is anyone having Spring like weather? We have tulips/daffodils starting to peek through, yay!!  Enjoy your day. :)

Sending You Love

Hi friends, hope your day is off to a sweet start! :) It's been awhile since I blogged, have mostly colored images and not adding them to cards, lol. A lovely friend of mine sent this adorable stamp to me and she challenged me to make a Valentine card with no red on it. So I used the image she sent and added some hearts to her pocket/bouquet...she's colored with copics/pencils (trying to add pleats, seems to be the new thing, try not to laugh) haha. Dies are from Memory Box & Joy Crafts, can't remember where the back one is from. Sentiments from LotV. I'll try to get a few more cards up this month. Thanks for stopping by...sending you all lots of love! ~hugs



Jingle Bells

Good morning! This will probably be my last card for 2012. The digital images came from By Digital Paper on Etsy. I'm looking forward to making more with vintage images in the future, so pretty! Tag & sentiment are by PTI and snowflake border by Tim Holtz and Jingle Bells DP I can't remember at the moment. Used distress crackle paint & stardust stickles on the edges.

I'm getting so excited, in just a few hours we're all going to see The Hobbit!! LotR's is my favorite movie, so it's such a treat to see this! Down below is the trailer for it, that Misty Mountains song gives me chills! I wish you all a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year... and may it be filled with much love, joy, peace & hope! ~hugs
