Summer Fun at Magnolia-licious

Hello, Friends. I’m a bit late with my post but finally here with my DT inspiration for the new challenge at Magnolia-licious. This time our theme is…

Summer Fun!

We have had a lot a spring storms with lots of rain and hail so I am looking forward to the summer heat and sun. Our grass hay pasture is up to my thighs; almost 3 feet. We don’t cut and bail our pasture for hay storage but I would love to now that it has grown so well this spring. We have 30 acres that belong to a neighboring farm and they bail our hay for our horses.

Anywho, getting back to why I’m here…My card for the challenge features “Playing on the Beach Tilda and Vintage Swedish Coast Cottage” from the Sea Breeze collection. I colored my images with Copics and added summer festive papers from Maja Designs and Bazzill cardstock.

I kept my card simple with a few flowers, seaside charms and a hemp chord tied in knots around the card for a border.

Here’s a close up of Tilda.

Leave us a comment on any of the DT’s blogs and/or the Challenge blog for a chance to win a weekly prize. The winner is announced every week during the “W”ednesday post.

Come and join us for the challenge and you will have a chance to win a Surprise from the Magnolia-licious store.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a great week.

Summer Blog Hop at Magnolia-licious

Happy Monday, Friends. Today Magnolia-licious is celebrating Summer with a Blog Hop. So if you arrived here from Karen’s blog then you are on the right track. If you need to start at the beginning all you need to do is go back to the beginning at the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog.

When we have a HOP at Magnolia-licious we share projects rather than cards with a little creative inspiration from the Design Team. I must confess though that I cheated a little this time as I decided to make a box card. I have seen so many adorable box cards in blog land and they are more of a project then just a card.

My project features Bikini Tilda which is perfect for this box. She sits with her flip flops and beach ball under the sun and ocean waves. The box creation is a Silhouette cutting file from Lori Whitlock. I love Lori’s artwork, she is so talented and creative.

I kept my box simple adding a pink satin ribbon bow with a pearl so that it would fold down flat.

Tilda was colored with Copics and has Liquid Pearls on her feet and on the flowers in her hair.

Your next stop on the hop is the lovely and talented Katie Tate.

Thanks for following along on our Summer Hop. Have a great week.

Magnolia-licious "W"ednesday

Happy “W”ednesday, Friends! It’s time for a new “W”ednesday post at Magnolia-licious. These cards and projects feature the stamp lines Wee Stamps, Wild Rose Studio, Penny Black, and Candibeans now carried in the Magnolia-licious store. 

My card today features a Candibean stamp called Penny’s Dandelion Shower. This is such a sweet stamp, although, I am not a fan of dandelions. LOL 

I colored my image with Copics. For the dandelions I used some yellow dots as the seed then I traced the tendrils with my glue pen and sprinkled glamour dust on them. It came out fabulous.

The design papers are from Maja Design Life in the Country collection along with Bazzill cardstock. I added some fuzzy green twine, flowers, butterflies and lace to finish it off.

Here’s a close up of my image.

Magnolia-licious - Sunny Yellows

Hello, Friends. I’ve been away for a while with some urgent family business. So now I’m getting back into the swing of crafting again. I’ve missed it so much over the last month.

I hope all of you “Mommies” out in blogland had a wonderful Mother’s Day. Hubby and I spent a quiet evening at home in our newly finished Rec-room playing billiards. He wins most of the time as long as he doesn't scratch. LOL

Anyhoo…I can’t wait to share what I made for our new challenge at Magnolia-licious. This time our theme is…

Sunny Yellows

We just got 8 inches of Spring Snow this weekend so we have not seen much sunny yellows the last several days. The snow won't last long but as it has already started melting it makes for a muddy mess around the ranch.

My card for the challenge features “Aquarius Tilda” from the new Zodiac collection. I colored her with Copics and sprinkled Aged Ivory Frantage in two corners of her frame.

My designer papers are from the new Pion Design Shoreline Treasures collection. These are subtle sandy colored patterns with that hint of vintage style.

I adorned my card with some pretty lace, satin ribbon, die cuts, flowers and a darling heart seal.

Leave us a comment on any of the DT’s blogs and/or the Challenge blog for a chance to win a weekly prize. The winner is announced every week during the “W”ednesday post.

Come and join us for the challenge and you will have a chance to win a Surprise from the Magnolia-licious store.
