Happy Monday & a very BIG Welcome,

The Official Magnolia Inspirations Challenge (TOMIC)

Thank you so much for joining us for our very first challenge.
This week was chosen for a very special reason,
it is Pauline's Birthday, Tilda & Edwin's creator.

Happy Birthday Pauline 

Wishing you the best birthday ever

The Design Team have created birthday cards especially for Pauline.

I hope you will join us in our very first challenge - a
Birthday Theme

Magnolia is offering you the chance to win a surprise package

The winner will be randomly chosen on Monday 12th June together with our 2nd challenge.

This is my card, on it's way to Sweden, I just hope it made it in time.

I've chosen to use Happy Spring Tilda from Magnolia's adorable Butterfly Dreams Collection.
I fell in love with her the moment I spotted her, she looks to me like she is jumping for joy and yelling 'SURPRISE' another fabulous stamp perfect for every occasion.

I've also used some of the new Doohickey Dies, Dream Tag & Swirly Butterfly from new Butterfly Dreams Collection and also used Magnolia Designer Paper

I love Easel Cards and here I've added a hidden pocket for my tag using another one of my favourite Doohickey Dies -Vintage tag.

Hello Everyone,

OMG, where has the month gone, I am long overdue posting this card,  with the overhaul of my craft room, I've been neglecting my poor blogging friends. I do hope you'll forgive me. It's surprising how much we accumulate over time, I've found things I had forgotten about and some still in the packaging (am I bad lol). I will post a few pics when my room when is finished.

Anyways on to my card. I bought this adorable Maggie a while ago, I coloured her up, but she has been waiting patiently for a new home and thought it was about time especially with the arrival of the new Rainbow Collection soon, more wonderful rubber to play with.

Stamps - Secretive Tilda - Bon Voyage Collection,
Text - Just a Note - Stempleglede
Dies - Magnolia Doohickey Die - Fence, MFT Doily,
