I love Edwin stamps, he is adorable,
it's just I am a bit of a girlie girl and love flowers and bows.
It was soooo hard keeping all my girlie embellies off, but I was strong.
I know it's not real birthday-ie but it is still boyish.

Thank you for being my Rainbow

Hello Everyone,

Hope you've all had a wonderful weekend. I've made a quick project this weekend, a tag from the Tim Holtz Alterations collection using some of the my Magnolia stamps from the Sweet Rainbow Collection. You could use this for a bookmark without the bulky flowers but I made it for a friend to send to brighten their day. I love love love the The Rainbow with Clouds stamp and text they always make me smile everytime I use them. The text reads

"Thank you for being my Rainbow on a Cloudy Day".

I have tucked the Magnolia Scallop tag in behind the sentiment & written a little note to my friend.

I've used Copics and lots of sparkly stickles

(The photos came out a little brighter than they are IRL, the winter days are not my favourite for photographing my projects. )

Rocking Tilda

Happy Wednesday Friends,

I'm back with my promised card to share with you. This is Rocking Tilda from Magnolia's Sweet Rainbow Collection.  I remember when I was little, I had a sparkly pink hoola hoop just like it, but I was a bit unco and spent most of my time trying to keep it from falling to the ground.

 The gorgeous papers are from the same collection, I love the pink gingham paper, it will be another favourite. The rainbow paper has such pretty colours and reminds me of gelato icecream, yum. I also love love love this sweet "Wishing You" text, it will perfect for so many occasions and the  fabulous Doohickey Dies I've used are Swirly Butterfly & Heart Swirl

I dusted off my Cricut to make this little matching purse, I'm sure this would brighten a little girls day if she received this with any little gift - I used the Forever Young Cartridge. The beautiful flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, the flower border is a Martha Stewart punch.

I hope you'll join the new challenge Stitching Real or Faux this week at TOMIC The Official Magnolia Inspiration Challenge, the girls have made some more amazing creations with lots of inspiration.

It is long overdue for some blog candy, pop back in a few days and I will have something posted.

I hope you have a wonderful day.

Mini Magnolia

How sweet is the little flying fairy, she stopped by for a rest in the tulips.

Hi Everyone,

I hope you have had a great week, we've had days & days of heavy rain, but today it's lovely and sunny, so this is a quick post, so I can go & enjoy some sunshine.

I made this adorable Watering Can with a couple of my Mini Magnolias. I spotted this tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers a while back and have been meaning to give it a go. I noticed Hanna my Magnolia Teamie made one and oh my goodness how amazing is Hanna's (& she is only 15 yrs old) of course mine is not as beautiful, but I had fun making it all the same.

TOMIC Challenge # 6 - Make a Scene

Happy Monday Everyone,

There's another challenge on over on the TOMIC Challenge blog. It's not my turn this week, but I put my hand up to help them out this week. Challenge 6  Make a scene - dimensional. This was certainly a challenge for me, I'm not very good at combining stamps, but the other DT's have created some amazing scenes for inspiration for you all.

Here is a side view to show the dimension - I stamped Rainbow & Clouds twice, for dimension. Tilda was stamped 3 times, parts of her were popped up for even more dimension.
