Totally Tilda - DT Call

Hello! I can't believe it's Sunday already... I am so excited about making this card for the Totally Tilda - DT Call. It is my dream and on my bucket list to be part of a design team that creates beautiful cards and projects using Magnolia stamps. I am keeping my fingers crossed and saying a prayer.....Good luck to everyone!!!!

Yesterday I took the dogs to the groomers then I was going to go to a wonderful craft store filled with goodies which is 1.5 hours from my house. Well those plans were nixed when my back window would not close and yes, rain was on the horizon. So my wonderful husband drove my car to the garage. I was disappointed and went to a smaller store nearby. Well I am glad I did because that is where I got all the beautiful flowers and papers I used to make my card! 

Here are the ingredients I used to create this sweet card:
Magnolia Stamp - Summer Memories Collection - Water Lily Tilda
Rosies Roadshow Stamp - Sentiment
Copic Markers
Liquid Pearls
Recollections Bling
Flowers - Prima and Irene's Garden
Memory Box Dies - Vivienne Butterfly & Petite Umbrella
Poppy Stamps Dies - Wild Flower Patch & Gentle Leaf
Magnolia Doo Hickey - Vintage Tag
Spell Binders- Lacey Circle & Circle
Paper - Prima - Fairy Belle Collection "La Spa" & Bo Bunny - Country Garden Collection

A peek at the inside of the card:

Thanks for stopping by and have a spectacular week!!!

Sweet Princess Tilda

Can you believe it is Friday already? Do you have any fun plans for the weekend? I'm going to get my hair done and relax, oh yes and do some crafting. I hope my husband takes me out for some delicious ice cream.....

I went to Michaels today and got another wooden item this time for .25. I love it. I haven't decided what I will do with my new item.

I am pleased with the way this card turned out. Tilda is just too sweet!! There is a funny little story to go with this card, it is like the story my dog at my homework. Well you see my dog Holly is quite mischievous and a bit jealous of the puppy. I had laid the design of the card out on my table not glued. It must of happened this morning so I went up tonight to finish the card and....she ate all four flowers and the ribbon. Oh yes, ate them, gone.... Fortunately, she didn't eat my image, die cuts or paper... I have to say I wasn't impressed.

Here is a tilted view of the card:

Flip Flop Tilda and MiaMia Flamingo go to the Beach

Happy Tuesday,

How's your week going? Today I spent the day with about 200 Pre K - 1st grade teachers and Dr. Jean Feldman. We did a lot of singing and fun activities. I have the song "If your happy and you know It" stuck in my head. Don't forget about my blog candy. There are lots of new Magnolias coming soon....click here!

I got my new photo box. I am experimenting; I think it will take more practice to improve my photos.

I got the wooden beach sign at Michaels for .80 cents this weekend. The minute I saw it I had to have it and I was creating a design in my head before I left the store. First, I painted it with steel gray paint. I was going to use white crackle paint for the flat part of the sign but sadly it was dried out (rather disappointed in that as I only used it twice). So I had the idea to use the cheese cloth to represent netting.

A closer view of Tilda:

MiaMia the flamingo was stamped on printed Authentique patterned paper. I just couldn't bring myself to put a hot pink flamingo with this color scheme. Tilda's top was also cut from the same printed paper. I covered the letters with patterned paper too.

We can't forget MiaMia:

I so enjoyed making this card. When I saw the challenge make your own flower this idea popped in my head while I was showering. Tilda with Ballet Shoes is one of the sweetest Magnolia images and was just perfect for this design.

Honey Tilda

Did everyone have a great weekend? I did but I have to say I think I had too much ice cream. But it is so delicious who can resist. We also have a ton of blackberry bushes and now we have a ton of berries. Good for freezing and I can see a blackberry cobbler on the horizon.

 I so enjoyed making this card! The colors are just so bright and soothing. I added a lot of fun elements to bring interest to the design. At the moment I have an addiction for liquid pearls.

Tilda with Ballet Shoes

I am back from Chicago and ready to craft the week away. I had a great morning with my husband and a delicious breakfast. It's a rainy Saturday, however we need the rain.  Oh very exciting news, I should have some better quality photos next week. For my birthday my husband got me a tripod and a photo box. I am sooooo excited!!!!

The image Tilda with Ballet Shoes is just too cute. I love her dress. Adding the pearls to the bottom was quite a challenge especially when you want the to flow a certain way. The technique for the Tilda's Town Challenge is Dies.
