Make It Crafty adding Texture

Hi there  here we go again with another challenge at, Make it Colourful!!

This is actually my debuting card since I've been back from my LONG absence.Slowly but surely I've been catching up with my DT's so be ready for me.LOL!:D

The challenge this week is to create texture to your colouring. I was anxious to use the
New Christmas line so I went with a fun playing in the snow scene. I tried texture in many ways possible.Did they work ((hands up ))IDK?? LOL! My first take was in the MIC tall pine tree. If you go HERE you could see how clean it is.I had to give it dimension by adding firs and texture to the snow.Whatcha think? I also TRIED giving my boys corduroy clothing but that didn't work out as plan so they ended up with plaid clothing LOL! Hey I tried right lol! Of course all the snow is textured with some added fine glitter. The background falling snow has texture as well.


Here is a close up of the trio




This is the best I could give you of a close up of the spruce and the falling snow.

I hope you could join the fun.Give it a try and you could get creative by using things you have like a sweater,sponge, gauze etc.... You could find more Inspiration from my teammies at the 
new MIC Gallery and be ready for a show. Thanks for visiting me as always.Comments are always so appreciated. Don't be shy :D

Little Darlings Challenge#10 Not Square

Hi me again with another challenge with  
Little Darlings and for this time around we want to see anything but a square.Oh that is easy right!!!

This is the basket I said I was going to do with my daughter. Since the other basket I did last week is going to her teacher we wanted to do one for the Teacher aid as well.

I'm so sad to say that my Lauren is really really sick and we almost called it quits to finish this up.I've been having her home since Monday. I've tried every medicine ,vapor rub massages, cough drops and ice packs.... I still can't cut down her fever.On top of that she has a bad cough,stomach pain and maybe because of her fever her teeth are starting to hurt.

If she doesn't get better from a new med I went to go get today.Well I'm off to the hospital :(

I just hope and crossing fingers it doesn't get to that point.At this moment she's sleeping in my room with Dad :) If you know of a remedy please I'm all ears!!! 

 Lauren helped me with the flowers, did major punching and designing.

Just  to show you we were such in a hurry that we forgot to fix the bow and fill it up with candy lol!


For my basket we used Autumn Friends coloured on Kraft paper and used pencil mediums.

You could find her at the
Love To Stamp store available now. You could find so many goodies that are must have like the score-tape!!!! I used Score tape for my basket and it works so well, seriously!




You could find more inspiration at the Little Darlings challenge blog as my teammies have created so many different projects. I hope you could join us and thank you for stopping by.

Shabby Shic Bday Maggie


Hi everybody((waving))
I have a new card to show you and it was done for my youngest sister to lighten up her Bday.

 My sister really is all about bright colours. I decided to go within the lines of a shabby Shic theme. I watercoloured #270 Rocking Tilda from the Sweet Rainbow collection.I added her pretty bows which I love to do that to majority of my Maggie's. Maybe cuz I have so many girls I have the need to add that touch. Well one of my little rascals doesn't like brushing her hair.Ya probably know which one.... the one that cuts her own hair :(

Anyways back to the card I also played with my Doohickey dies. A simple colourful banner using
 #30 flag and cloud die. A special stamp note on my vintage tag and a dimensional
  #29 Swirl butterfly to finish off. You could find all these wonderful items in the Magnolia-licious store. The only one not available at the moment is the vintage tag but contact the store if you're interested Here and they should get back to you pretty fast :D


Here is a closer look at Rocking Tilda (I love her bows)!!!

Well thank you for stopping by and have happy shopping at Magnolia-liciousSo many new goodies available. Don't forget we have the the Magnolia-licious Highlities challenge going on right now featuring the EXCLUSIVE Dr.Edwin.

Call the DR. QUICK QUICK QUICK!!!!

((Scratching my head)) Where to start explaining ROTFL!!!

Ok first of all Welcome everybody Magnolia-licious has a wonderful Hop for you today!
I'm your first stop.If you like to join in the fun and want the full details go to the
 Magnolia-licious highlities blog for a full run down :)

I have to say this is certainly a one of a kind hop and an EXCLUSIVE,#000 Dr.Edwin to top it off! He is exclusive to Magnolia-licious and even sweeter he's available in mini # 000! It won't be right without his better half  #307Nurse Tilda from Winner take it All Collection

Ok back to my card :)

In my mind I knew what scene I was going to create so I started coloring my background which is an MIC Rise and Shine digi.
I realized after it was all colored that I set the tone a bit romantical, LOL!
Well I kinda brushed it off and what I actually thought of doing was to add a sitting  mini magnolia on the bed.As if the medical staff came to treat the patient.I think it would be a great get well card or a HELP ME CARD lol! 

Well after searching through my inventory I realized," I DON'T HAVE ANY MINIS SITTING DOWN"!!??? WHAT!????
So I had to leave that image out for now.
The only problem now is ....... we're left  with a romantic scene and two grown adults,ROTFL!

I SWEAR I HAD GOOD INTENTIONS LOL! 
Did I fail to inform that I tried creating a scene from, General Hospital or any soap at that, LOL!





I'm curious too know what came to your mind when you saw my card and be honest.I swear I won't think different of you. I'll probably just cry of laughter because that's what I did when I was told by my family over here.To pay attention to what I'm doing and just observe the scene.I was being teased that I should just throw some rose pedals on the bed or bring out the wine.

This creation has brought me a good laugh I tell ya.
Well I can't keep you any longer but again if you're here early then try to come back to peek at least a bit better images of my card.

I won't hold you up any longer and send you on your way to my friend Janiel's blog for some more eye candy!!!!
I hope you enjoyed my scene and your comments are truly thankful.I can't wait to read what you think LOL!

P.S
Maybe the patient is under the bed? you know which image would go well  Apple Edwin from the A Little Yummy for your Tummy collection!!! What image do you think? or leave as is?
