For my card I used the cute Li'l Montana by Elisabeth Bell for Whimsy Stamps. She is too cute with her little puppy in tow!!! She was stamped on X-Press It and colored with Copics and Flexmakers, adding a bit of Star Dust Stickles to the flowers. Ooooops, I forgot to put a pink dot on the puppy's nose!!! The base and all double matting is Bazzill, and the DP is from the Prima Sun Kiss Collection. For the horizontal I used a triple band of 1" Organza Ribbon tied into a double flat bow to dangle a heart and key charm which was a gift from my sweet friend Gunilla. The sparkle is all Recollection trim and the floral treatment is all by Wild Orchid Crafts: Cherry Blossoms, Cosmos Daisies, Lilies, and Aster Daisies. Finally I used a couple of sparkly organza butterflies from my stash.

Remember that the entire new release is available to buy right now from the Whimsy Stamps store along with all your Whimsy favourites.


SWEET STUFF!!!



I happen to have an extra Li'l Montana stamp that I would love to share with one of my crafting friends...so just leave your name with the Little Blue Froggy below before Monday, July 30, at 8 AM EST and this could be your lucky day. She will be traveling with some other things so she doesn't get lonely on her way to the winner's home! Good Luck!! If you don't have a blog, just skip over the URL request.

Countrified Tilda at Just Magnolia and hÄnglar & stÄnglar Challenge

Happy Friday, everyone! I hope you have had a marvelous week and are well prepared for a splendid weekend! Everything has been fast and furious here so I haven't had time to put up my Happy Birthday SWEET STUFF but I haven't forgotten...wink!!

This week at the Just Magnolia and hÄnglar & stÄnglar Challenge we have been given the theme of IN THE COUNTRY so we hope you will come on over and see the several interpretations of the DT and decide to join in with us! There are some very nice prizes for some lucky participants!!

For my card, I pretended that little Tilda had gone over to her grandmother's house in the country to pick strawberries and to make jam. How's that for an imagination on IN THE COUNTRY?!?!? I used the darling little Tilda With A Lovely Jam from the brand new Turning Leaves Collection which is available at Magnolia-licious. She was stamped on X-Press It and colored with Copics and Flexmarkers, adding Glossy Accents to the jar and Star Dust Stickles to the lace on her overalls. The base and double matting on the card is Bazzill, the floral and chevron DP is from the Simple Stories Summer Fresh Collection, and the gingham DP is from Lily Bee Design Double Dutch Collection. Tilda arrived in her fancy straw hat which she hangs on a peg before donning her bandana to head to the kitchen...hahahah..I used some tiny red satin ribbon around the hat and several little red flowers from my stash. For the horizontal I used some red gingham ribbon, tied into a double flat bow, adding a couple of strawberries. The From the kitchen of tag is from Cookbookin'. In the bottom corner I used more berries along with Mulberry Leaves and a couple of Sweetheart Blossoms from Wild Orchid Crafts. The corners were softened with Self-Adhesive Pearls.



For the first panel on the inside I used products from the new release at Whimsy Stamps: Touch of Sweetness Notables Set designed by the marvelously talented Ann Vento, Mason Jar Die, and Notables 5 Die. After coloring the strawberries and leaves I added more Glossy Accents to the berries. And for the jotting spot, I used a simple double flat gingham bow.

Thank you so much for dropping by and I hope to see you again real soon! Have a wonderful day and a marvelous weekend. Big hugs!!

Little Sister and SWEET STUFF!!!

Yippppeeee!! Happy Thursday night into Friday!! I hope you have had a wonderful week and will have a productive and FUN weekend. My Auntie is taking me on a little R&R trip on Sunday for my 65th birthday....gosh, did I say that????? Well, tis true and I am so doggone happy because now I have Medicare...and mark my word, I won't ever get sick again...hahahha! I had my annual physical this week and my doctor declared that I was a perfect specimen and younger than my years---of course he probably added that compliment into my charges!!! LOL...And then I went to the dentist today and he even said I am WONDERFUL!!! Woooohoooooo!!!!

I wanted to show you a little card made with a brand spankin' new image by Penny Johnson for Stampavie called Little Sister and she is the sweetest little thing!!! She was stamped on X-Press It Blending Card and colored with Copics and Flexmarkers, adding a touch of Prisma Glitter to the ruffle on her dress. The base of the card is Bazzill, the double matting is PTI, and all of the DP is from the Simple Stories Summer Fresh Collection. The floral treatment resting on MS punched leaves are Sweetheart Blossoms from WOC. I used two sizes of satin ribbons for the corner to corner design and finished the front with Self Adhesive Pearls. This card really tickles me!!!!



On the first panel on the inside I simply added more ribbon and bows with another Sweetheart Blossom...and on the second panel I added a Kraft envelope with tag for the jotting spot. This DP is priceless...just love it!!

Time to Celebrate at Just Magnolia and hÄnglar & stÄnglar Challenge

A very happy Monday to everyone! I hope you have all had a marvelous weekend and are prepared for an even better week. I have been away for a couple of days and hope that I am rejuvenated and ready to get with the program! Don't you ever feel that you just have to get away??? Sometimes I even want to run away from myself!!! hahahha

I wanted to show you my card for this week's Just Magnolia and hÄnglar & stÄnglar Challenge which is being hosted by the quintessentially talented and creative BEV of All The Things I Love. If you have never visited her blog, you will be in for a magnificent treat!!! She has devised a BINGO game for us this week and it is so much fun so I hope you will pop over and join in with us and you can be assured that there is a marvelous surprise for some lucky participant!!

For my card I used Bazzill for the base and for all double matting...the DP is from the lovely KaiserCraft The Lakehouse Collection...love these DPs!!! I used the cutest little Tilda With A Gift For YOU which is shipping right now from the new Turning Leaves Collection available at Magnolia-licious. She was stamped on X-Press It Blending Card and colored with Copics and Promarkers, adding a touch of Prisma Glitter. For the vertical I used a wide eyelet lace and threaded it with pinky/mauve grosgrain ribbon, adding a double flat bow dangling a Made for You charm and topped with a Heart Shaped Pearl Bead. I am thinking the Time to Celebrate is from Catslife Press. The largest flower in the floral arrangement is from my stash and I also used Tulips and Open Roses on the MS punched branches. To finish the front of the card I used more pearls.



The inside is very simple because I wanted as much of the DP to show as possible...so I just added a horizontal of the wide eyelet with ribbon and a few more of the heart beads.

I hope you like my little creation and will decide to join in with us at the Just Magnolia and hÄnglar & stÄnglar Challenge this week!

Thank you so very much for coming by and I hope to see you again real soon! Enjoy your week and until the next time I send big hugs!!

Welcome, Baby Kymoni!!! AND SWEET STUFF!!

Happy Sunday, everyone!! I hope you are having a most delightful weekend, although it's almost over!! Oh well, you can look forward to a wonderful week!!!

I wanted to show you a little set I made for Debbie, the sister of Diana from Magnolia-licious, to welcome her new little grandson, Kymoni, who she calls her Darling Little Prince. I have decorated a MS memento shadowbox and made a matching card using the Baby Edwin from the Princes and Princesses Collection at Magnolia-licious. This image may not be available at the moment but there is a set of MINIS featuring Baby Edwin and Baby Tilda--TWO stamps for the price of ONE!!!



I painted some wooden letters to spell out his name to go down the left side of the shadowbox and added some cute buttons to a couple of the letters.




Everything on the card is from my stash. Baby Edwin is colored with Copics and Promarkers. I simply added some buttons tied with hemp twine and used some baby footprints and a fimo teddy to the ribbon treatment and a safety pin to the bow.




The blue baby bracelet is from a local party store and is just a shower favor. The card inside is 6" X 6" so that gives you an idea of the shadowbox.


SWEET STUFF



If you would like to be in for the draw of the sweet Kaisercraft BABY Clear Stamp Set just add your name with the little Blue Froggy before Wednesday, July 18, at 8 AM EST. If you don't have a blog URL, just skip over that request and you will still be in for the surprise! Good Luck!

Thank you so much for dropping by today and I will be back tomorrow for sure!! Have a wonderful evening and a great week!! Hugs til the next time!!

Gone Fishin' and some SWEET STUFF!!

Happy Friday to everyone and hopefully you are ready for a marvelous weekend. It is still so brutally HOT here in the mountains that about the only thing there is to do is to stay in and craft...what a shame, huh? haha But I hope you are enjoying your summer no matter where you may be!!

Today I wanted to show you a little boy card which is certainly not my forte but I think this little image is just so darn cute!! I used Little Jack and Bobbin Gone Fishin' from the Little Cottage Cuties Collection illustrated by Elisabeth Bell for Whimsy Stamps, stamped him on X-Press It and colored him with Copics and Promarkers! Check out that cute little puppy and those darling bare feet (thanks, Gunilla!)!!! They are definitely ready for a fun day!! The base of the card is Bazzill, the double matting is PTI, and the DP is from the EP Hello Summer paper pad. For the vertical I used a cream grosgrain topped with PTI satin ribbon tied into a double flat bow...and dangling today's catch on some hemp twine...the fish are actually buttons with the backs snipped off. I also added a Gone Fishin' button to the image panel.



The inside is very simple because I wanted to emphasize the fun, cheerful DP as well as the jotting spot with the fishing pole and wee fish (more buttons)! I hope you enjoy my little card this time!!

SWEET STUFF!!!


I have an extra one of these cute little Little Jack and Bobbin Gone Fishin' from the Little Cottage Cuties Collection illustrated by Elisabeth Bell for Whimsy Stamps and would love to share it with one of you and you know I always include some surprises so he doesn't have to travel to you alone! So if you would like to be in for the draw, just leave your info with the Little Blue Froggy before Sunday morning, July 8, at 8 AM EST. It is not necessary to have a blog in order to join in...just skip over the URL request and you will be A-OK!! Good Luck, one and all!!

Thank you so very much for dropping by to see what's happening in my world and I hope you can visit me often! Remember SUNDAY SENSATIONS from Magnolia-licious this weekend and until the next time, I send big hugs!!
