I'm back ~

Sorry if you've been by checking for exciting news from SE Idaho. I took a break and went to Arizona to visit my parents. It was warm! Well, almost everything is warm compared to here, but it felt so good. It was great to have time to sit out on the patio and read and see so many new things. I really enjoyed the break from the everyday routine at home, but you know, it sure feels good to be back. I took a minute in my craft room this morning and made a cute card.

Look at this card ~

Isn't this cute!! I got this from a Magnolia Secret Angel so I don't know who to give the credit to. But I love it. There are so many cute details on this. And this is a picture of our latest project. No it isn't cutesy or stamped, but we sure love how it turned out. We still need to change out lighting and add a glass door. It's good to check something else off of the need to remodel list. I think the bathrooms are next.

Triangle Fold Card ~

Here is another new Magnolia card project. This is such a cute triangle fold that I have seen several other people doing. The stamp is one I got in the mail from Gill in the UK.

Friday Sketchers ~

Popping in again to show you another card. This is for the Friday Sketchers. I love the sketch Claudia posted this week. This Tilda is colored with Copic markers and I used Bo Bunny ribbon and rub-ons. Cardstock is SU! and I don't remember the paper. It was in one of my Scarlet Lime kits. I know I use this Tilda stamp a lot, but she is pretty cute. Maybe I can add a few more Magnolias to my collection so you get to see more variety in my projects. (There is a good birthday idea for anyone looking for ideas.)

Tilda ATC ~

Here is another challenge project. This is for the Tilda & Friends ATC Challenge this week. The little stamps are from Purple Onion Designs. Now, back to some real work.

New Bookmarks ~

Here are more little Tilda Bookmarks. The one on the right is Stampin' Up! Afternoon Tea papers. The one on the left is Fancy Pants papers and I used my favorite Purple Onion Designs Stamps for the lettering.

Just for you card ~

I took a few minutes this morning to celebrate the first day of school and make a card.

This is for the Friday Sketchers challenge blog. The stamps are Magnolia and Purple Onion Designs, papers are from Stampin' Up! and the flowers are Prima. I stamped one of the Purple Onion Flourishs as a border on the inside of the card too.

Make a Wish Tilda ~

This cute little card is for the challenge over at Cute Card Thursday . The challenge this week is to make a card using bright colors. For me this is pretty bright even though the colors are a little soft. Thanks for looking!

Tilda Pocket Card ~

Since my dryer is broken I couldn't do laundry yesterday, so I made cards instead. This simple little pocket card has a removeable Tilda that can be used as a bookmark or it can just be a cute little Tilda. And today the dryer is still broken and it will take a couple of days to get a repairman here so today I will be washing and finding alternate methods of drying things. Jen gave up and took laundry to her boyfriends house the other night. There might be time to fit in some more crafty stuff so check back tomorrow for a peek.

Another Challenge card ~

Here is another challenge card. This is for the Tilda & Co. challenge blog. These papers are from Stampin' Up! Afternoon Tea collection and the new Pink Pirouette cardstock and inks.. Love how it turned out

Friday Sketchers ~

Here is my card for the Friday Sketchers Challenge Blog. It was a fun sketch to work with. I used Afternoon Tea papers from Stampin' Up! and Tilda is colored with Copic markers.

Whiff of Joy ~

I happened upon a new stamp company that is debuting soon. It is Whiff of Joy Stamps. Katharina is running a contest for a guest designers to work along with her design team. So, here is the card I made for the contest. I used Basic Grey papers and one of my cute Magnolia stamps.

Another Little Tilda ~

This one was just for fun. Isn't she cute! I took a minute tonight to put this little card together. I think this was one that I colored while I was waiting at an airport last month. The paper is KI Memories leapfrog, and I added MM brads. I used Old Olive and So Saffron inks on the edges.

Two in a row ~

Wow! Two card posts in a row. I am on a roll.

This card is for the Friday Sketchers Challenge. I loved this sketch, it is simple and easy to adapt. I changed it a little and made a rectangle card instead of the square like the sketch. I used SU! Berry Bliss papers, and SU! inks to distress the edges of the papers. I colored the Magnolia stamp with Copic markers. Thanks for looking, let me know what you think!

Celebrate Card ~

Not only is this a Celebrate card, but we are celebrating that we actually made a card. When we did our new wood floor and stairs project all of the extra stuff ended up in my craft room, which was good that there was a place for it to go, but made it kind of hard to go get something done. Anyway, that project is done and looks great, and I got the craft room cleaned out, and I made this cute little card. The papers are Basic Grey, the little angel is a Magnolia stamp, the celebrate is an Inkadinkadoo stamp. Inks and ribbon are Stampin' Up!, and flowers are from Prima. Got to go, this is my afternoon to be crafty. . . .

Fun in the Sun ATC ~

This little cutie is for the Give me sunshine ATC challenge . The papers are from We R Memory Keepers and the alphabet is Purple Onion Designs. I used Copic markers and Summer Tilda.

Magnolia Bookmark ~

This was a fun little project. It's a bookmark for the Tilda & Co. Challenge Blog.

Enjoy your weekend,

Wendy

They're here ~

Yep! They just arrived. Only 10 days shipping from Sweden. I thought that was pretty good. So you can expect to see a lot of these little cuties in my projects this summer.

Friday Sketchers Card ~

Here is this weeks Friday Sketchers card. I went to visit my daughter and cute grandbaby yesterday. During Kymber's afternoon nap Kristine, Michelle and I colored Magnolias. It was such a fun afternoon with my girls. This card has Basic Grey papers, Prima flowers, SU! ribbon and cardstock, Copic markers and Magnolia Stamp. Thanks for the fun sketch!!

My first Magnolia card ~

Here is my first Magnolia card. Gill from England sent me some stamped images to play with until my stamp order comes from Sweden. She sent the cutest card too. I'll have to put up a picture of it too. Thanks Gill! That was such a fun envelope to get in the mail.
