I 've been wanting to colour Tilda sending love letters for a while now and FINALLY got a chance to colour her twice in DI btw.

I wanted to create a gift set and looking around my stash this is what I came up with.

The flower basket was a bit too tall and had to find a way to take a picture explains why I have a wrinckly background lol! (((whispering))) It's a plastic table cover lmbo!

I have no space for a mini studio at the moment but time will come with that,EEEEK!

ANYWAYS here is my shabby chic project and many pictures as usual when I can't get it quite right :)

#282 Tilda sending Love Letters from the Sweet Crazy In Love collection can be found at Magnolia-licious store and I see it's temporary out of stock on regular size but you can find the mini available HERE.

If you want to know any updates on regular size. Just send Diana Crick a shout and she'll inform you right away.

I also incorporated #30 Doohickey Flag and Cloud in the banner above and that you could find at Magnolia-licious store also right HERE.

Flowers are from variety of places but the majority are from WOC.

LOVE LOVE LOVE their flowers btw :)

close up of the side basket that white lace butterfly is from MS and paper is from Webster pages and Magnolia.

UGH Hate that white line coming down the picture but oh well no time for re-takes ;) gotta keep on colouring for the next project which should come this wednesday.

WELCOME TO MY BLOG!! Stick around read all the deets and you could be one of my lucky commenter's to win a "HANDFUL" Price!!!! lol!! Sorry inside joke just needed to be put up here,ROTFL!

for my Little Darlings post click HERE

for Magnolia-licious blog hop click HERE

It's Australia Day in the Land Down under and what better way to celebrate than bring you some NEW Australian themed Digi Stamps and offer you some inspiration with a quick blog hop!!

What is Australia Day? Well in short, it's the day that the first fleet of convicts arrived in Sydney Australia (yup we are a bunch of convicts!! haha) but today we celebrate what's great about Australia with our family and friends and it usually involves a few snags on the barbie (BBQ)!

So let's celebrate amongst friends from around the world and share some crafting inspiration with an Aussie Outback theme!

If you're already on the hop then you should have arrived from my good mate Maria :)

otherwise if you want to hop from the start head on over to say G'Day to AJ.

Ok on to my creation and to make story short. I left my original coloured image in my vehicle and guess what!!?? I forgot to bring it down last night.Since it was my first go, my orginal Gumnut Flower Girl took me many many lovely hours.Now this one was done like in 3 or 4hrs maybe less. If you click here you could see my original Gumnut flower girl in the MiC store.

I have coloured with copics and this time I really did try but I couldn't keep up with the copic recipe :( It was just too many.If you ask me though I'm more than likely to know it because their my usual color combos anyways.The only thing I wouldn't be able to help you is the sky.

Now for that I was reaching for whatever came to mind when I was thinking of the Magnetic storm we got and the Aurora's that were created.You could say that's were I got my inspiration lol! I know I know it didn't happen in Australia but just pretend :)

I did colour on Make It Crafty blending paper. My ultimate favorite because it tolerates my abuse lol! :)

see the difference from taking a picture at night versus during daylight lol!

her legs keep coming out too white. There is more colour that what it appears.

Sorry for the amount of pictures :( I just have a bad camera and really really want a new one SIGH...

Now I guess you're looking for the next mate to hop on over to??

Well before you do... Make sure you comment below for your chance to win an Australian Souvenir. Each of us will be selecting someone from our comments to receive a little Aussie Souvenir from Zoe!

PLUS Zoe is offering 20% OFF store wide at Makeitcrafty.com until the 28th January! Hurry on over (when you get through the hop of course!) to grab some bargains!!

OK OK... It's time to head on over to see my mate and boss lady Zee :)

CHANT WITH ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Secret Garden for Make It Colourful

2012-01-14T13:45:00.000-06:00

Hi friends :)

Here I am once again with another DT creation and this one is going to

Make It Colourful and the theme this time is creating blades of grass.

With that said I might of gone a little over board with the grass and it's become maybe a forest lol!!!!

Nevertheless I had so much fun colouring this scene.It took me a few hours but I couldn't stop adding and adding.The size of my frame is 8x11 so it's pretty big.I coloured on the best paper evar from Make It crafty.

I tell ya your copics love this paper.You know how easy it was to blend my colours.I really do enjoy this yummy-licious paper.As You can see I used every bit of a single sheet LOL! I can't let this paper go to waste!! PISSSSHHH!!

One time I printed and skipped my regular routine (print on copy paper first) and just threw in my MIC paper and when the images came out all cut off!!!!!!!!!!! I felt like I was dying....I couldn't breathe and all that lol!!! ((Rolling eyes)) this paper comes from far and having it is awesome.If I could keep it under my pillow when I go tot bed I will but then it will get wrinkly :O :(

Ok enough waffling and onto my frame.

Let's start by the yummy Make it crafty blending card. you could find some HERE

Then we have Laser Chipboard Flourishes .... I used fine swirls,Butterfly swirls, Butterfly leaves and you could find them HERE

The adorable digis enjoying the secret garden are

New adorable Foxi Sprite could be found HERE

and I had to fit cute JOJO and he can be found HERE and of course the awesome background that went well with Jojo right!!!!

This is a new background and it's called Toadstool Garden and can be found HERE

the wood leaves altered with some paint are from Kaiser Kraft and the flowers are from WOC except the pink ones.I got those a while back from a candy I won a while while back lol! :)

here is just a picture of the image itself

inside

side view

sorry for the amount of pictures.I just couldn't get it without the glare :( and since it's a bigger project than usual I had a hard time.

All righty and that's all folks.I hope you could jump in the challenge and if you have never tried creating blades of grass.I'll tell you reach for all the green tone marker/pencils etc you like and flicker flicker flicker.The more different tone of green you add the more natural it will look.THE KEY ELEMENT IS FLICKERING ON YOUR TIP OF THE MARKER(if you use marker).The thinner the more realistic I think LOL!

Have fun and YOU MUST STOP and visit the DT take on this because you will drop your jaws!!Goodness these ladies are GGGGUUUUUUDDDD!!!!!

HERE

Thanks for stopping by and c-you here again Monday :) (wink wink)

p.s

If you have any questions on the copic recipe or anything else.Ask away and I'll respond in the comment box in case someone else wants to know the answer too.Thanks again.

2012-01-11T20:10:00.002-06:00

HEY HEY i'm here... so many things going on for me.

SO MANY NEW THINGS COMING VERY SOON UHHHHH!!!

I'm on hush hush for a bit. February will be my busiest ever so for right now let's keep ya busy with Challenges :)

Btw I was working on my picture editing for the tree demo and and and I got an email from a friend and had to drop what I was doing immediately LMBO!!! I'm working like a crazy lady believe it or not.

For sure you'll see me post very often ok I promise :)

OK well for today I have a new card to share for the new challenge over, Little Darlings.

The challenge is "favorite color combo"I am a big fan of bright colors. Might be because I don't know how to colour soft like with pastels...OH NO NO NO NO... THAT'S A CHALLENGE FOR ME ON IT'S OWN!

I used two of my TOP TOP fave colors of all time.

Turqouise and fushia pink.

These fun colours always melt me :)

I'm show casing Soooo Big and you can find him at the Love to Stamp store.

I also have one of the NEWEST Magnolia background images #546 Welcome to a lovely home to walk himself to :)

Everything was coloured with DI and loaded with stardust.

Ok happy to start my Valentine theme cards whoohooo!! Many more to come and I'll be back on Friday. I have something cool to show you!!!

In the meanwhile show us your favorite colour combo at the new Little Darlings Challenge.

Hope to see you there :)

Laters and be back soon.OH thanks for stopping by my little corner :)

Feeling the winter BLUES....

2012-01-01T23:48:00.001-06:00

HIYA!! I'm back and WELCOME to 2012 and all to my first 2012 posting :)

I have been busy with my guest these past days.My family left my house on New Years Day at 5:30am!!!!! YES IN THE MORNING LOL!!!

some of the kids were wide eye still! It must of been from all the "soda" going around.

No that's not all....they we're here back in a few hours time lol! I woke up LATE hmmmm @12 noon so they we're here an hour later to eat,drink and play again.They just left a while ago, lol!!!!

That's to show you I'm a good cook huh lol!!??? BAAAAAHAAA!!!( my FIL cooked lol )

Well anywhoo It's time for another Challenge at Magnolia-licious-highlities.This time around is as easiest as can be,"ANYTHING GOES" with the option of Lace.

So maybe unlike me you could start those SWEET VALENTINE CARDS considering you could add fancy yummy lace :)

or if your stuck like me LOL! You could still do winter theme :)

Well I created a small scene and added some of those Spruce Trees I've been stuck on ((big smiles))

I used #614 Mini Welcome to a sweet Christmas ,#3098 Mini Tilda hiding gift and #568 Magnolia Winter Forest

and you could find these stamps at Magnolia-licious store. I need to inform you, Diana has really really good deals.Be in the look out for those mini duos specials she usually puts up! They usually fly like hot pancakes.

Now my Winter Forest has been cut apart to spread them out through the scene.I did my usual spruce technique and yes topped off with my favorite toy lately lol!"snow marker" from Marvy.

here you could catch a close up of the spruce and puffy snow.

sorry for a load of pixs but getting zoomed in was hard. It might be because of the bright blue.This card is full of blue jean glitter from doodlebug by the way. You might catch this one at the CHA show with Mini Magnolia.

OK peeps I'm done with winter and I'm stuck with @10 coloured winter images which we're planned on being used for another of my paper Christmas trees but I'm winter/Christmas DONE LOL! Although I hate not to use these images because they are so so so cute and I have coloured them in DI.

Since I frequently colour with copics and then jump to DI.You get stuck with that mind set that you could flicker like if you we're using copics.Well that's what I've done on these...they took longer time to accomplish small pleats and what not but the outcome is really really nice.At least that's what I think LOL!

So should I do more winter cards???or finish the tree??? what to do what to do....Oh the tree was planned to be about 6" to 8" tall and the Magnolias are the regular size this time.I'll let ya vote for me.The Tree is half way done but I ran out of the design paper so I stopped but I'm sure I could find more of the same.

PLEASE ADVISE YES OR NO TO WINTER CARDS LOL!!!!!

OOPS Almost forgot to tell you.... come back as I have a tute on the works for my Spruce technique that I've been doing a lot lately.

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY AND MAKE SURE TO COME AND PLAY WITH US AT Magnolia-licious Highlities also!!

See-ya next time peace :)

This card was planned to go up since the morning but my FIL got here and there goes that lol!He is still here and I think he fell asleep on my living room couch.He's just visitingg since his family is out of town and was left home alone.Well he's welcome to stick around because HE LOVES TO COOK and pissshhhh he could cook whatever he wants here lol!

Anywhoo I'm here again with a new creation for Little Darlings challenge # 14 and the theme is baby it's cold outside.....ugh love that song lol!

so with further ado.In order to start a conscious free year I needed to recolour snowy friends.Lastt time I paper pieced and colour with smooch and what not lol! This time it's all DI colouring.

You could find snowy friends at the Love to stamp store available for purchase.THIS UTTERLY ADORABLE DUO IS HARD TO RESIST.I can't possibly get tired of colouring them :)

My banner was created with the Magnolia Doohickey #30 flag and cloud die.

I hope you could jump in the fun and we could certainly help closing out the winter theme cards.Which actually I can't get tired of colouring lol!

Time went by tooooooo fast and I felt like I just started colouring snow lol!

2011-12-14T20:40:00.002-06:00

Hello everyone I'm back with another creation for Little Darlings.

This time around we're asking you to do something,"Christmas" UMMMM CAN YOU DO THAT??!?!! I think so lol! :)

As usual running late with my post :(

Ya don't even want to know what I've been through.

IT'S NEVER A DULL MOMENT HERE I TELL YOU.

As I'm typing this I have a little girl practically chocking me trying to do God knows what to my hair and what not. My hands are always full and ALWAYS ON THE RUN.

I just hope I get a brake soon.

God knows I need one SIGH... I just want to sit in peace,drink coffee and colour :) Maybe create a card here and there lol!

Anyhow here is my latest and if you DON'T look closely I cheated in the colouring department LMAO! Yup I , Ruby Montes have cheated in colouring, LOL!!!

I will feel guilty if I didn't pointed that out.I have paper pieced and even coloured with smooch lol!!!! oh oh and how about that texture white stuff on my snowman!!!! COOL HUH LOL!

I actually did like result but the only thing I regret doing is putting that fluff stuff before colouring.The reason being is because the liquid ran on my image a bit. Other than that I likies :)

My image is called Snowy Friends and you could find it in the Love to Stamp store.

The smooch I used on her clothes was ocean soul and sassy pink.Her pants are paper pieced.

Oh her shoes have smooch also.

here you could see the fluffy texture of my snowman and guess what I used!!! I love this stuff...it's a marker by MARVY UCHIDA.

All you do is lay it on where you want it then go over it with your heat gun and it rises up like MAGIC!

It's called Snow Marker and bought mine at Archivers.

Fun stuff I tell ya!

Well that's all for me folks.Thanks for stopping by and always a delight to read all your nice comments :)

Have a great week :)

Chantelle at the Races for MIC WHITE colouring challenge

2011-12-06T16:28:00.001-06:00

I'm back and this is another creation that needed to go up this past weekend :(

It was done for the white colour challenge for Make It Colourful.

OH DO YOU KNOW THIS CARD ALMOST DIDN'T HAPPEN!!!

OH EM GEE!! I lost her at HOBBY LOBBY(craft store in the States) LAST WEEK!!!!

I took her halfway coloured I only had her skin and dress done.That alone took me days I would say 4 to 6 days lol! Well I was colouring during the Thanksgiving rush so I kept stopping and picking it up.

I tried adding small details to the blank spaces and that's what made it challenging lol! When I realised I had lost her UGH I WAS SOOOOO MAD BUT MAD AT MYSELF!

I had her inside a sleeve with my copic chart so I knew they were together.I tried calling the store that was @ 35 min away from me but they wouldn't answer.I guess cuz I realised late in the evening and they we're getting ready to close.

I went the next day and I asked by the copic section and nothing. A lady that works there was helping me look around.I started tracking back my steps for it then the nice lady finds me by the Scrapbook section and says,"IT'S IN THE FRONT"!

I WANTED TO CRY OF HAPPINESS AND HUG EVERYONE IN THE STORE LOL!! I got my sleeve and ran home (well drove lol) to finish up the card lol!

So Chantelle at the Races had also a day out in Chicago too, LOL!

Ok so here we are with Chantelle at the Races you could find her at the Make It crafty store. I have coloured her with copics. I wanted to use her as a Christmas card theme so adding the traditional colours and sentiment was a great token. It also has pink all over but it's coming out as red.So you have red, green,white, pink and black so a little mix up :0

Her dress was coloured with the C family group. I tried so hard to zoom in on all the thin lines created to cast the shadow. Hmmm... I think I could of gone a bit darker for the shadows but was afraid it will start to look more like a grey dress lol! The darkest C was C3.

I added thin lines to what I think could be a shadow or just a continuing pleat line. So a white plain space is great to add your own touch and could be fun to play with *_*

Oh almost for got you could do the same thing with plain skin. Kick it up a notch and enhance those muscle tones, lol!

Oh I added a black feather on top of the bow to mimic her hat

I hope you like my translation and if you want to check out more ideas and get good eye candy visit the MIC gallery.There you would find massive inspiration by the designers and followers.

Thank you for the sweet encouraging words and definitely thank you for stopping by.

Shabby Mini Magnolia Christmas Tree

2011-12-06T13:20:00.001-06:00

Hey, I know where I've been and it's been taken me a while to get this one done.I had it ready over the weekend but then our real Christmas Tree was bought so I had to put this one on hold for a bit :D

I've been hard at work with my real one with the kids help this time lol!

Ok so I'm one of those peeps that over loads their Tree lol! Oh but I have a good excuse .. you see I use to work at Merchandise Mart in Chicago which has showrooms after showrooms of GORGEOUS GORGEOUS numerous things.Anyways I worked for this well known company that wholesales Christmas Decor.We have designers come in and work on the showroom floor etc... Well I assisted and learned so many of the tricks.Although I won't put a chair in my tree LOL! Yup we had big wooden boats,chairs and all these unusual things in them lol! BUT THAT WAS ART I TELL YOU!

People would pass by stunned how pretty and unreal the scenes looked. My most memorable moment is helping out creating the most BEAUTIFUL PINK SHABBY CHIC TREE EVAR!!! I mean jaws dropped so hard sigh..... I wish I had a camera to have taken a picture. EVERYTHING WAS SO GIRLY! It has flowers,pink lights,tulle, glass ballerinas,BLING and the softest feather Boa I've ever seen. Well the image has never been erased and that's what inspired me to attempt to create one out of paper lol! Not exactly the same but it's something and quite pleased LOL!

My Tree is about 6" or a bit less so you could only add so much.

Ok so what I did is cut

6 strips of

2 x 12, 1 3/4 x 12, 1 1/2 x 12, 1 1/4 x 12, 1 x 12 and 3/4 x 12.

trimmed the edges with MS punch,Using my Scor-pal scored each strip on the 12" length on the 1/2 the inch mark.

then simply accordion folded,glued the ends and folded inward to create the circle. I then glued the center with my glue gun. Yup, so Just keep to built up your tree and play with the sizes to your liking.Honestly It's really not that hard at all.

If you know how to do a simple Rosette flower than you could do this.

OH I almost forgot to tell you.I did do an extra 3/4 x12 (and this is optional )

but I did cut down on it so it could be smaller so it was more like a 3/4 x 8 I want to say. I wanted to mount my Wrapped Tilda a bit higher.

Decorate as you please.

In case you haven't heard of the contest going on at Magnolia-licious Highlities Blog you should check it out.I hope I have encouraged you to play and and and ((whispering)) Ahem.....

maybe you could out do me and create a whole village of trees ROTFL!!!!

there is so many things that could be done but YOU MUST include Unwrapped Tilda and Wrapped Tilda into your project.

At a special price their available at the Magnolia-licious store.

If you need more good ideas please visit my teammies as they had some juicy projects themselves!!

Here are many pictures because I went MAD trying to get good angles lol!

and here we go

At the bottom left we have #242 Mini Glittering Tilda, #3098 Mini Tilda hiding Gift and

#161 Lightening Edwin trimming the tree.

here is a side view and you can't tell much but it has white crackle paint on the ends and lots of MS pink glitter.

On the top the one and only #3001 Wrapped Tilda

Oh remember my other Tree!!? Well it got a white Tulle skirt :) I had to do it

and that's the end :)

Oh goodness did I waffle on here today lol! That's what happens when you don't do enough postings. (sorry)

Ok so I'm gonna be doing more Trees cuz I'm addicted and I want to ask you if you have a special theme you would want me to achieve of course It would have to include Maggies.

I'm already working on a big tree for the regular size Maggies but that will come later :)

Ok well thanks for stopping by and I'll be back tomorrow to share something something that it's already really really late!!!!!!!

Little Darlings #12 THANK YOU

2011-11-23T08:27:00.001-06:00

What a week it's been so crazy around here.I'm trying to get through Thanksgiving and I might still have my sanity LOL!

Oh this time of year is so stressing for me because not only do I have the holidays to worry about but I have bdays for my kids lordy lordy lordy head hurts....

Lauren's Bday already passed on 11-11-11 isn't that cool!!! My son's bday is on 11-25-11 so right after Thanksgiving.

I remember when he was born 8yrs ago it was Thanksgiving Day and my family didn't celebrate anything until I got out of the hospital.Yup I brought them my own turkey he weight a whooping of 12lbs lol! My only boy and the biggest till this day he's still a bit of a chunky monkey, lol!

To the relief that I already celebrated both of their bdays together this year.We gathered up all the kids from the family and friends and took them cyber bowling.

We had pizzas,cake etc.... and then went for a real dinner celebration at home.

So I'm THANKFUL I'm still alive and celebrating special occasions and always having support from friends and family with me.I have a long list but with all the wining I do I am thankful we all have each other :)

BRINGS ME TO THE CHALLENGE RIGHT LOL!

The new Challenge at Little Darlings is Thank you.
Note to remember
To enter the challenge you don;t have to use Little Darlings images, but if you do, you could win a $20 merchandise gift voucher to the Love to Stamp store. If you use any other stamp you could win a $10 merchandise gift voucher.

Ok so here we go I created my first tag lol! I keep giggling about it because you won't guess what I've used as a base LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wanted something more sturdy other than cardstock.Since I'm organising stuff for Thanksgiving dinner I was in the kitchen and saw a box of cornbread stuffing (mind you i'm not using that it was given to me)

I took it apart and assembled it covered it up with cute paper and whala my first tag and sturdy as can be lol!

I almost didn't make this challenge because of all the running around I've been doing and still not done grocery shopping.I always feel so guilty wehn I don't create something and

DO YOU THINK I WOULD OF BEEN ABLE TO EAT COMFY KNOWING I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING FOR THIS CHALLENGE??! NO!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!

I'm glad I played though and was really in the zone when and didn't want to stop lol!

OK TAG

Little Darlings image Sooo Big coloured with copics with my E70,71,74 and E49. I know it comes out looking like black and white but it's a sepia tone.The camera is not picking that up.Don't you hate when that happens??!

My dotted flower was created with my Magnolia Doohickey peony die and also used Magnolia doohickey Swirl butterfly die.

OH I forgot the back part I used Antique lace doohickey die.The back is also embellished but very basic. You could find those dies here at Magnolia-licious.

sooo Big close up

Uh I was really into colouring his hair this time lol!He has little strands sticking out like alfalfa lol!

JK JK LOL!

Ok that's it and hopefully you could jump in and play with us.

Justr wanted to take a few and let everyone know that I am Thankful that I have so many Blogging friends and that leave me the best comments ever! I am so lucky and humbled to have so many followers and makes me so happy to see new faces.

so THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU for beeing great friends.

Enjoy the festivities and eat all you want but after this we need to go on a diet who's with me? RAISE YOUR HAND!! I'M RAISING BOTH!!!!!LOL!

It's a Christmas Hop With Wrapped and Unwrapped Tilda

2011-11-21T02:29:00.001-06:00

Hello I hope you have enjoyed the Magnolia-licious Highlities Hop.

If you are just stopping by and if I could convince you to play along you want to start at the Challenge blog.There you will find full information regarding the hop and prizes!!! Oh I'm sure you should do the hop as my teammies have done an outstanding job.

If youy came from the master of flowers that would be Patti Jo than your on track lol!

((I love Patti's flowers lol)

Just a little info I could tell you is

Along with the blog hop we will also be doing a “Count the Snowflakes” contest as another way to win some candy.You may want to put on your glasses because my flakes are pretty darn small.

So the Challenge for this time around is

'"Anything but a card" and we had to use both 'Mini Wrapped Tilda' and 'Mini Unwrapped Tilda'

Here is my presentation...I want to thank my teammie Patti Jo for staying up with me at the wee hours figuring out ideas what to do for the hop lol!

I slept on it and the following morning I had it and it wasn't so hard to do and yet both Maggies play an important role on the tree,YEAH!!!!!!

Mini Wrapped Tilda sitting as a tree topper all glittery and Mini unwrapped Tilda opening xmas pressies as she should :)

They were both colored with DI and my tree was created with the help of my Scor-Pal :) Oh yes and the paper is Magnolia too.

Important for you to know I'm letting you know because my tree has snowflakes and you might get them confuse with the digital ones that are hidden on the project.

The ones you should be looking for are white and TINY and my flakes are silver some could stand out as clear too.

This is the back of the tree

close up of MINI #3002 UNWRAPPED TILDA

ACKKK!!! You can't see her glittery clothes so well.

my pretty MINI #3001 WRAPPED TILDA topper.

You could find them both at Magnolia-licious store at a special price for BOTH :)

Ok that's it for me today and thank you for playing along the Hop.

I hope we we're able to inspire you and join in the fun.

Little Miss Muffet Stamp New release

2011-11-18T01:24:00.001-06:00

Here I am again with some new images to show you by Little Miss Muffet Stamp Line.I had a play with these girls and if you want to see what the other ladies came up with make sure to stop by right here.

This is my take and did I ever fall in love with this one.Her name is Audrey and I have to tell you she reminds me of my Lauren.I guess it's the hair and the dimples I coloured in for her lol! You might not see it so well.I really really did like this one Barbara :)

Oh look what I did to her clothes lol! I drew in flowers to match my paper LOL! You could find her at the Little Miss Muffet store here.

*********************************

Now here is another cutie and this one gave me a laugh because the minute I seen her I thought I have the perfect sentiment for this one lol!

I was anxiously waiting to use it can you tell lol!!!!!

Her name is Hope and I'm not sure which way she goes because she was actually flipped upside down and if you visit my friend Barbara she has her the other way.

SO what I was thinking Hope is trying to make herself weight less by simply having the scale fall into her???

IDK whichever way you can't help but Giggle lol!

You could find Hope here.

That's gonna be me after Thanksgiving watch lol!

You should make your way to the Little Miss Muffet store and see what else you could pick up as she has some really adorable images.

Well I hope you like my cards and again Thank you for the wonderful comments that ALWAYS make my day.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Make It Colourful... Winter Night with Dalecarlia Coat Tilda

2011-11-16T10:44:00.001-06:00

Hi me again and with a card for Make It Colourful new Challenge Light source from a lamp,candle or get creative and surprise us :D

I was happy that I coloured my oldie but a goodie Tilda with Dalecarlia Coat.I could never get tired of colouring her. For some reason I think the challenge is not that hard guys.Many people get intimidated stepping out your comfort zone but you need to give it a try at least.

My tip is definitely start of with your light colours and what helped me was drawing in my lines with a pencil creating my light.You could always erase those lines later.

LMBO! or you could put a flashlight behind your card of the lantern,candle etc and take a picture of it.

IT WILL BRIGHT UP FOR SURE LOL! NO NO NO that's cheating lol!

but I tell you what that helps too I did that as well.

To enter your creation you could go HERE the new MIC GALLERY.

Ok ladies and Gents this is my take

there's a Magnolia Doohickey Vintage Tag behind the image and the border of the image is dripped with texture white crackle paint and glitter.

close up of Dalecarlia Coat Tilda standing next to
MIC Festive Element Lantern

I hope you like my card and if you have any questions regarding the card or a technique on my card.Please go ahead and ask I'm happy to help.

Oh btw the shadows were created with my warm set of Letraset Pro markers.

A reminder also don't forget we have the Inspiration picture Challenge at Magnolia-Highlities running right now and these are the colours to one of the pictures so If you wanna play jump right over there HERE.

Magnolia-licious highlities Nov DT Challenge

2011-11-06T13:09:00.000-06:00

Hiya friends it's time for another challenge at Magnolia-licious Highlities. Oh boy because I wanted to try a different technique, colouring with very light lines on a stamp image.For instance you stamp an image with a very light brown or grey and so for.The result is really cool!!

The only problem I'm blind as it is and colouring #161 Mini Lightning Edwin ,LOL!!!!!! Well you know the hard time I had.

I also did the same thing on my Magnolia #568 Winter forest Christmas background and drew in spurs to add texture :)

Reminder MIC has a texture challenge going as well :)

Here are the pictures for this challenge that my friend Angie(Scrap girl) picked for us to help us get inspired.

here is a closer look to my # 161 Mini Lightning Edwin from Magnolia-licious store and Christmas background which I only stamped two trees.The actual stamp has three of them just fyi.

I hope you could join us and I can't wait to see what you came up with.

Have a great coming week!

Make It Crafty adding Texture

2011-10-29T13:30:00.000-05:00

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

Duffy,Scruffy and Tinkles

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

2011-10-25T23:54:00.004-05:00

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

2011-10-25T11:42:00.000-05:00

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-licious. So many new goodies available. Don't forget we have the the Magnolia-licious Highlities challenge going on right now featuring the EXCLUSIVE Dr.Edwin. You could get find the details right HERE.If you missed my translation for the challenge you could scroll down or go Here. I'll let you know ahead of time it's open to translation soooo I don't know i don't know LOL! I'M INNOCENT, ROTFL!!!

((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?

You could see, Janiel's basket here. BEWARE HER WORK IS STICKIN CUTE and you need to spare like 5 hrs to take in all the eye candy :)

I used my Scor-pal to create the base which is the basket itself and my rosette flowers.My rosette flowers are actually lined up with glitter for pretty sparkle.

Here is a solo of throwing leaves.

Snappy Dresser is always so fun to colour.This time I gave him a fun neon green costume:D

Tricks for Treats cooking up a storm,LOL!

and last but not least Pumpkin Races.

NOW FOR THE 411!!!!

Scor-pal will be giving away a Scor-buddy on their blog and

In Honor Of Lady Diana Crick

2011-08-23T03:00:00.004-05:00

Welcome everyone!!
I hope you're having a great time celebrating my good friend Diana Crick's Bday.I have brought the pinata to the party.So line up and who is going first???LOL!!

If you came from Angie's Blog than your on the right track.

To start I have done a pinata and believe me I was over the moon creating it LOL! I went and got it at my sister's candy store.I was planning to get a nice star one and was thinking of just altering one side of it.Then I saw this little hand size pinata's and I screamed, YES YES THIS ONE THIS ONE LOL! I was stocked because now I could actually mail her a pinata yeah!!!!!!!
Soooo Diana your getting a pinata ((smiling big))
The only thing I forgot was the candy DUH LOL!
Anyways the pinata was made for decor right LOL!

I used Secret Tilda as I think she could be used as a Bday theme as well.

I really like my latest technique of the pretty glitter. I've been using this technique on my colouring.Yup I'm colouring with glitter per say lol!

I had to hang the pinata from my ceiling fan to try to get a good picture of it:)
I bought this very very basic dull pinata and altered it to my liking.I think I should take orders on them HA HA HA! I had a good time fixing it up.
*********************************

On to the next pressie for my Bestie:)
I did her a Bday Pin ((smiling))
I had this huge pin and thought what if I created a bday scene pin thingy LOL! So this is what I came up with using my Scorpal.

Here I'm featuring mini Edwin wants a hug and mini Congratulation Tilda
Tilda with Big Ribbon
I really love this colour combo on her dress.I'll share later with that I PROMISE.

********************************************

Last but not least a scenery card for my bestie!!!!
YA KNOW I LOVE SCENERY CARDS SO I JUST HAD TO ADD ONE UP LOL!

My scenery card is featuring Cool Edwin, Wonderful Tilda,Magnolia Branch,Rainbow with Clouds,Birthday Tilda and I think It's the flower wall Tilda is sitting on.

I added a button as a stopper but it wasn't necessary but you do get to see more of the bottom of the base :)

That's all and thanks for stopping by and I hope you like what I have done.I thank you all for celebrating with us this wonderful day! I'll come back and add all the color recipes so if your interested look out for that.

Anyways my baby Lauren is a girly girl and if she could wear a dress to school everyday she would.

I coloured with copics and gave her a little shiny sparkly flower to her headband.I'm lovin my MIC laser flower leaf swirls dotted with some Viva pearl pen.GREAT STUFF Suzanne,Angie and Patti :)
