Lots of Luscious Lace

HIYA friends!
Ok so welcome to my blog and you just found yourself in our monthly Magnolia-licious Highlities blog hop.If you came from the talented and my friend Sharon's blog than you're right on track! 

I'm sure you had yourself a good eye candy there huh!
Ok so I did this a while back and was holding off to show it to you guys. I just thought it went well with the theme so here it is. I created another basket for my other daughter, Lauren. 

Sophia took over the first basket I did a while back and you could find it HERE.

I had Lauren pick the image to her liking from my Magnolia stash and she picked a winter image, LOL!

I said ok ok let's see what we can do :)

so here you have it..all coloured with my copics and yes this is another 
Dena basket too, WHOOHOOO, 2 in a year!
You could find this cutie named Tilda with Hellebores from the 2011 Sweet Xmas Dreams Collection at the Magnolia-licious store. I don't see her in regular size but she is in mini :)


Here is a close up of her
this is the back of the basket


and one more close up of Tilda.

Here are my girls on Easter Sunday with their MOMMY made baskets... FINALLY I COULD SHARE :)


I did their headbands too! Lots of WOC FLOWERS :)


Here is Sophia cracking up because her sister has an ant crawling on her dress. Lauren is freakin out and instead of her sister helping her, she's LAUGHING!!!

Sophie above is wearing a pastel pink dress and Lauren a light skyblue dress. I coordinated the headbands so they could compliment each other :)

Ok that's it for now and now to send you along to my talented friend Suzanne for some more luscious lace ideas.

I hope you enjoyed my creation and I'll be back soon to show a little some some I've been working on :)

HAVE A GREAT WEEK AND THANKS FOR SWINGING ON BY!

I can't remember what day I'm leaving!(that's not good lol!)  I guess it comes with the package when you have four kids right :)
Well we had a great time Easter weekend and I have a few pixs to show you but that will be next time.

For now I want to share with you my latest card and thank goodness for this image lol!
she is really helping me pull through the week. I just like to look at her and see how relax she is.


This time the theme is PASTEL!!! How did I do??? not bad not bad right!? I did keep a bright background so it wouldn't look so washed :)
 I really did enjoy creating this one and It's gonna be hard to part from but this one is going to CHA :) 

Angie this one is yours too :) I hope you like it hun.

I'm showcasing Shellphone Little Darling.
You could sweep her up at the Little Darling store now.

Ok what do you think....she was a good combo with some of the Magnolia Spring Kit elements huh? :)
The sea shells and background sun came in the Kit.
The water and sand of course were free styled in with copics.

Magnolia Bebe Gift present

Hi peeps!!!

Well I finally got here to share my latest. The Magnolia-licious highlities team has another challenge theme for you this time around.

Oh and guess who is the host this month.....MUA lol! and I'm late BAAAHAAA! I have a good excuse and I paid the price trust me lol! 

Too long of a story but it started with a April fool's prank and KARMA is a beep beep beeeeeeep.....
ugh! I don't think I will be doing any more of these pranks lol!!!!

put it this way I GOT THEM GUUUUUDDD (my family specially my hubbie) but my creation got ruined and I had to start my card over lmbo!!!!! ok that's all I'm saying baaahaaa!!

ANYWAYS!!!! back to the creation.
What I want to see is baby projects/or Baby gift sets
this gives us the chance to play with the latest release, Magnolia  Princes & Princesses 2012


I created a basket out of a beverage holder that I nicely requested when I went to buy myself a single cup of coffee at my local gas station LOL! I got a weird look but ack . I had seen someone walked out with one and I immediately said, UUHHHH! So anyways I altered it with pretty paper, put a sturdy cardboard base at the bottom and filled it with two baby blankets, some baby detergent and a Baby Pamolive dish soap(for baby bottles I assume)?? I guess that's new never seen it before, lol!? I laid some clothes pins around the basket that I picked up at M's for .30 a package of 4 !!!!!! I think I should get more right?!!

I'm showcasing #201 Baby Tilda on the front and #3052 Tilda w/Blue Blanket on the tag which I don't see her available now but the mini is HERE at a special price in a duo set.

This is #251 Tilda's Family and I'll be colouring this one again soon. 

All these stamps can be found at the Magnolia-licious store. If you don't happen to see it. I suggest looking for the mini duos.
If not you could always shoot Diana Crick an email and see when would they be available :)

 The charm on the bow says" It's a Girl "


close up of the cute Tilda with blue Blanket. Just that this blanket is light purple :)

this is the back side of the set and I just left that note hanging so the tag could be used as a special note.
that's blanket #2


ok that's it for now. 
SOOOO we want to see all baby stuff... so skies the limit. 

Ok now if you want to get some more eye candy well please head to the 
Magnolia-licious Highlities Challenge blog to see what my DT SISTA'S have created.

Now If I don't come back before the weekend ends. HAVE YOURSELF A HAPPY EASTER!!!
I will try to make a post but won't promise.

Thanks for stopping by((hugs))
