Love our Red, White and Blue

Hi there, thanks for stopping by ! Can you believe tomorrow is July 1st already this year is just flying by. Do you all have any big plans for the holiday weekend? I am working and then going to my son's for a big 4th of July pool party and barbecue, should be lots of fun with all the grand kids playing and having fun. I made my little wall hanging for a dear friend who is very patriotic, I sure hope she will enjoy her hanging in her craft room. I am not sure of the name of this image and I did not see her in Diana's store. I have colored her with copics. Before I started stamping I did lots of crafting with graphics so I used the background, banner, and the little drum Tilda is sitting on from the collection "God, Family and Country" by Susan Seals.

I am going to enter her into a couple of challenges,
Stamptacular Sunday challenge #65 Stars and Stripes
One Stitch at a Time challenge #19 Stars and Stripes
Cupcake Inspirations challenge #65 Red, White and Blue
Magnolia Stamp Lovers Red, White and Blue.

Have a very safe and Happy 4th of July all of my USA friends ! Those of you who don't celebrate this holiday have a safe and happy weekend as well.

Hugs,

Unwrapped Tilda, Christmas All Year Long, MMSC59, MDU51, and Bunny Zoe's

It is that time of the month again when we are having our Magnolia-licious Christmas All Year Long Blog Hop so if you get lost or have just happened to stop by here you may want to go back and start at the beginning so you don't miss any of the great creations. If you came here from Julie's you are on the right track. I was not sure if I would be doing this hop this month, as I lost my dog of 8 years who was just like my child and I loved her with all my heart. Each day gets a little easier and we spent many hours together in the craft room :)

I have used Unwrapped Tilda #3002 and she is currently out of stock however if you email Diana @ Magnolia-licious I am sure she will get some in shortly. I have followed the sketch over at Midnight Madness MMSC59 the fancy version. Over at Magnolia down Under they want embossing. At Bunny Zoe's they want "Nice and Girly" I used the snowflakes folder for my embossing. My image is stamped on Cryogen White, colored with copics...sorry I did not keep track as this image has been colored for a couple of weeks. The DP is Imaginisce, Polar Expressions, card stock is from my stash, there is 6 layers to this card. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The branch is a MS punch and the pearls are from Say it with Pearls. I have added some Diamond Stickles to Tilda and the flowers for a little extra bling ! Here is a close up to see the detail a little better.
That is it for me and now you can hop on over to the very talented Cheryl and see what she has came up with I know it will be awesome.
Have a great weekend !
Hugs,

Let's Ride

Happy Thursday everyone ! This week is going pretty fast for me lots going on, had my oldest DGD basketball game last night they lost but they played their hearts out and had fun that is all that matters. This weekend is jam packed for me going to Wet'n Wild on Sat suppose to be 108 so that will be great and then to finish off this glorious weekend my youngest DGD will have her 5th birthday party so lots of fun here.....sure hope you have some fun things going on....summer is just a time for lots of family fun :)

Speaking of fun there is a party going on at Magnolia-licious as they celebrate turning 2 years of fun ! Drop on by and join in. This week is a great sketch from Chris one of the mods on the Magnolia-licious Yahoo group. I have to say that the ladies that run this group to an outstanding job to keep everything going smooth and fun. My sincere thanks to each and everyone of you for all you do each day for our group.

I have colored my image with copics sorry I forgot to keep track of them. I added "Sweet Pea" flower soft to Tilda's bouquet. I used fun flock for the bike handle grips and added liquid embossing to the bike to give the metal shine and look.
The DP is Doodle Bug designs and it is machine stitched to DCWV card stock. I paper pieced her little T-shirt to match the DP on the card. I used my wishblade to cut out my oval frame. I embossed the oval background with the cuttlebug. Ribbon is from my stash and I used the bow easy to make my bow. I added my sentiment in the charm that is attached which says "Made with love". Here is a close up of Tilda

I have raised Tilda on pop up dots for dimension and to make it look as if she is coming out of the frame.

That's it for me today, I gotta go fix DGD breakfast and then we are having a girl day with movies and shopping !
Thanks for coming by.
Hugs,
