Anything Goes at Lili's Little Fairies Challenge

Happy Thursday, everyone! I hope that you are all having a marvelous week along with me!!! Gosh, I love this time of year--flowers popping out everywhere and all of the garden centers are calling my name each time I pass by!!!

This week at Lili's Little Fairies Challenge it's ANYTHING GOES and what could be more fun than that?!?! This week we are sponsored by Nitwit Collections with a very nice surprise for some lucky participant so we hope you will come over and join in with us and play right along with us!!

For my card I used a darling little Happy Together from the brand new release over at LOTV. It was stamped on X-Press It and colored with Copics before cutting it out with double Nesties. The base and all double matting is Bazzill and the DP is from the eeeek...I forgot but will add it when I go back over to cottage house. For the vertical I used some pleated organza from Hobby Lobby with some pink satin ribbon tied into a double flat bow and dangling a couple of hearts. I also added some Recollection pearl trim for the outside left edge and for the trios on the right side. The heart is from Whimsy outlined with Star Dust Stickles, and all of the floral treatment is from Wild Orchid Crafts...Trellis Rose, Cherry Blossoms, Aster Daisies, and Hip Rosebuds.



The inside is very simple with the addition of a paper heart doily.

Thank you so much for dropping by and I hope you will want to come by often. Gosh, I am so far behind and in such a hurry that I don't have time to add many of the links here...but will do so tomorrow. Have a great evening and until the next time I send big hugs!!!

Bunny Tilda at Magnolia-licious Challenge and WINNER and SWEET STUFF!!!!

A magnificent Tuesday to each of you! Gosh, I hope you are having a very sweet week and are enjoying each moment! I am almost afraid to say this BUT I am thinking SPRING is really here.....There are so many flowers popping out all over and my rose bushes are so green and growing like crazy...woooohooooo!!!!

Today is the first day of the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog and I have been invited by the lovely Diana to participate. I am very excited and hope that you are as excited as well. This fortnight we have the picture below as our inspiration. I would love for you to come on over to the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog and see the magnificent DT Members fabulous examples of their inspiration and I sure hope you will join in with us this time!!!!

For those of you who have asked me about inspiration challenges and have been hesitant to participate, I will tell you what I do. I merely have a look at the picture and the first thing that comes to mind when I see the picture is the direction that I take in making my card. When I saw this picture I thought Easter, pastel colors, and polka dots....but you obviously will be reminded of something else...which is perfectly OKAY!!! Inspiration is inspiration...and you certainly don't have to make a cake card!!! hahahha With inspiration challenges, any way that the picture inspires you is absolutely acceptable!!! Gosh, how fun is that!!!!!

For my card I used the absolutely darling little Bunny Tilda which is available over at Magnolia-licious and what image is cuter for an Easter card?!?! This cutie was stamped on X-Press It and colored with Copics and cut out so that she sits within the triple Nesties. I used Bazzill for the base and for all double matting, the DP is PTI Dots and Best Creations - A Walk in the Garden...oh I love this paper!!!! The verticals are a lace with yellow ribbon which is a gift from my sweet friend, the very talented Suzan. If you haven't visited her blog you are missing out!!! The double flat bow dangles a cute, cute bunny charm and the floral treatment is a Trellis Rose and Hip Rosebuds from Wild Orchid Crafts and some yellow flowers from my stash. To finish the front I used some Self-Adhesive Pearls.


The inside is so simple because of the gorgeous paper. Just a horizontal of lace and ribbon and a few pearls.

I hope you like my little creation and will be INSPIRED to join us over at Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog where you can be assured that there is a very nice prize for some lucky participant. If you have any questions about participating, please jot me a quick email and I will help you! I want to see you there!!!! Yipppppeeeeeee!!!

Cuddly Hugs at Just Magnolia and hÄnglar & stÄnglar Challenge

Gosh, tis Happy Friday Time!!!! I hope you have all had a magnificent week and are looking forward to this weekend as much as I am! We have had such magnificent weather that I am exhausted from doing all of those "get ready for spring and summer" things as possible!!!

This week at the Just Magnolia and hÄnglar & stÄnglar Challenge we were asked by the hostess Anne to show MORE THAN ONE FOLD! Of course there will be a really fun surprise for you this week as usual...so come on over and join in with us!!!

For my card I used an oh so fun base from Whichcrafts? called Double Concertina Step Card, of course you will see that I also rounded the corners of the image panel. I used Bazzill for the matting, X-Press It for the image, and Maja Designs for the DP. The sweet image is from the newest collection available at Magnolia-licious called Teddy Bear Hugs, or something like that. She is such a little cutie and although I don't see her right now, I'm sure Diana will be getting more of her!! I colored her with Promarkers, Flexmarkers, and Copics. I also used Vintage Seam Binding from Wild Orchid Crafts as well as Cherry Blossoms and Sweetheart Blossoms.

Thank you so much for coming by today and I hope you will join in with us this week at Just Magnolia and hÄnglar & stÄnglar Challenge and show us your idea of FOLDS! Until the next time, I send big hugs!!!!
