Christmas All Year Long April & MMSC50


Happy Sunday to you all and thanks for coming by for our 4th Magnolia-licious
Christmas All Year Long
Blog Hop. If just happen to stop here you may want to start and the beginning so you can see all the great cards. Where is this year going I can't believe it is already almost May...Christmas will be here before you know it ! With that being said there are a few of us that are getting a head start with our cards, and if you would like to join in this wonderful group you can do so by joining the Magnolia Yahoo group just click on that cute little icon on my side bar and come and join in the fun. When you are done here you will want to go on over and see the awesome card that Deb made.

I followed the sketch at Midnight Madness, it worked perfectly for my rounded image and I think it makes for a nice clean and simple style card. I am also going to enter this at Just Magnolia where this week anything goes. Another entry is Winter Wonderland where it is anything goes for Christmas also. Last but not least is Simon Says Challenge where they want things with wings.

My little Sparkling Tilda and the Snowy Circle around her are from the So Jolly, So Snowy collection and they seem to be out of stock right now however I am sure if you contact Diana she can get her for you.
She is colored with copics and I am sorry that I did not write them down for you. I have added stickles to her halo and on the snowflakes in the circle. DP is basic gray Eskimo Kisses, base card stock is from Michael's and the ribbon is from my stash.
The scalloped circles were cut on my wishblade and the snowflakes are from the MS snowflake punch, and I added some ultra fine Crystalescent glitter from Stampendous.

Have a great day and try to find some time to color or craft it is good for the soul.
Hugs,

Spring is in the Air


Hi there thanks for coming by today, I hope you had a great Easter I did, we went to church and then just hung out at my son's and had Prime Rib and lots of goodies. There is nothing better than quality time with the family, we all did get a good shock when we had a pretty good earthquake here in AZ., we were use to them in CA but not here.

This little card today is called a Criss Cross card and you can find instructions here. Tilda with 3 flowers is from the new Hoppy Easter collection and you can get her from Magnolia-licious, just click on the link on my side bar. The little Tilda on the note part of the card is Sparkling Tilda from the So Jolly So Snowy collection. Both images are colored with copics and I have added Stickles to the flowers, wings and halo for a little bling. Edges are distressed with Tim Holtz walnut stain. The papers were just some I had in my stash I think I picked them up at Hobby Lobby. The Chandelier Glass Garland is from Magnolia-licious also.



I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Just Magnolia Fold it
Papertake weekly anything goes
All that Scraps Spring bling
Simon Says Stamp distressing
Roses on Paper Layering

Have a great day !
Hugs,
