I am trying to get challenges done for the OUTLAWZ blog but between nursing this cold ( still ) , trying to get my house clean ( again ) and getting groceries and out for coffee ( a MUST ! LOL ) by the evening I am exhausted and have just sat and vegged instead of playing .

Just Magnolia- Hangler Week 90

 I finally felt well enough to go sit in my room and play for a bit . this cold that everybody seems to have is like the Energizer Bunny ...... it just goes and goes and goes !  Was sure relaxing to just sit and color one mini-Tilda and create a card from the end result .

The challenge on Just Magnolia this week was a great sketch by Donalda . I love these sketches from her ! The challenge can be found  here

Here is my card using a mini Tilda , Magnolia tag , Copics , Flowers and leaves from Magnolia and Wild Orchid and Stickles .MaryAnn D die cut was used to cut the doily and the paper doily is from Ellen Hutson .Lace is from my stash .

Thanks for looking and have a great week ! Happy creating !

 I did manage to do the Color challenge for this week as it is using BROWN and PINK .... I was just working on this when the challenge was posted so added it to the mix !

Tilda is colored with Copics and has SMOOTCH Pearlized TOPCOAT on her dress and socks for a shiny , glittery appearance . The heart is cut with a Sizzix scalloped die and then trimmed in lace . The tulle is from American Crafters , the looped ribbon from Webster's Pages and the heart brads are from my stash . They have been colored with Copics and then coated in SMOOTCH as well !

And this one is for the CAS ( Clean and Simple ) challenge

One Crazy Stamper

  I came across this awesome site awhile back while checking prices for Copic markers .... because a gal can NEVER ave too many copics ! LOL ! I was amazed at the price of Lora's Copics !!! Well it seems that One Crazy Stamper also has a challenge blog and this month the challenge is a LOVE card . The challenge is found here.......... so I just had to get on the card ( even if it did sit on my desk for a week because I am down with a cold and feel miserable  ) . So here it is .... I can't remember where I got this image but it was from a friend . The paper is BG ( which one I have no idea as I have many ! ) , the pleated ribbon is from Webster's Pages , lace was a RAK and of course the image is colored with Copics .The rhinestones came from the wedding department at Michael's and the punch is a Martha Stewart edge punch .

Pop on over to Lora's online store found here

http://www.onecrazystamper.com/

as you will be blown away by the price of her Copics and her great stamp selection . She even has a stamp club .... Buy 10 get one free with collected coupons ( explained on her home page ) and she has preorders right now for Magnolia stamps and the new COPIC colors ( yes 12 new have to have colors :-)

Have a great day , avoid the snow and the cold ( we have had almost 2' since the 4th of January and -20 c temperatures ! ) but most of all

Happy Creating !

oh so Blue ..............

Magnolia Stamp Lover's has a challenge running this week called " BLUES " ! This little Tilda stamp just called out for the color blue . The challenge is listed here .

I used a lot of Sakura Glaze pen on my image to give her umbrella and boots a wet look . I purposely took the second photo under a light so you could see the shine !

I am also using this card for Sketch Saturday as I used Jilli's sketch to make the card . Here is the sketch

HAPPY NEW YEAR .... let's start with some challenges !

 I spent a very quiet New Year's Eve as my husband was away visiting his Mother whom had some health issues before Christmas . It is the first time in 39 years that we have actually spent New Year's Eve apart ! Odd to say the least ! My few days of just the dogs and I found me playing in my room getting a few things done and cleaned up .

 There is a change over on the challenge BLOG for JUST MAGNOLIA as it is now the Just Magnolia and Hangler / Stangler Challenge Blog ! If you haven't seen the Hangler stamps then you are in for a real treat as they are so adorable ! Hard to get in Canada but I lucked into a few images from friends ( thanks girls ) and just finshed this card which I am submitting here for the ANYTHING GOES challenge on the site . Hope you enjoy her !
