Don't shoot me...kiss me I'm a Prince !

Hi and thanks for coming by I hope you are having a nice weekend, we are here the weather is just beautiful so that always makes for a good day in my book. Diana at Magnolia-licious is always thinking of fun things for us to do, so her latest challenge to us was, to create a card using "Right through my Heart" image. I had my little image already colored, and could not think of a thing to do with her....well lo and behold I woke up with this idea in my head and put it right into action. I have used the Oak tree stamp which I cut the branches off the right side and placed them over some hard to cut out areas in the center and on the left. The little dragon fly and frog prince are from the new spring collection and can be pre-ordered from Diana as well. I made my card a frame card for the depth. I have added some embroidery floss for the twine on the bow and made an arrow from a tooth pick, colored it with copics and the little feathers on the arrow are just hand drawn and cut. I added some gold stickles to the little frogs crown ! The background is a graphic I used from some images that I have from PC crafter, called "Earthscapes". I am hoping to get the air brush system soon. I hope you like my little take on this challenge it was lots of fun to put together.

I am going to enter this at Papertake Weekly where they want something different from the norm.
A Spoon full of Sugar they want something 3D.
Have a great rest of the weekend and try to find some time to color it is good for the mind and soul.
Hugs,

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,
