Ying Pang's Birthday Candy

Ying has an 'in' with Magnolia Sweden and they have provided this great prize for her birthday candy.  It is a collection of eight stamps from the new Autumn collection.  Ying will be splitting this up into four prizes and will also have a Magnolia doohickey, crystal garland and flowers to accompany the stamp.  Hop on over and check it out!!  Winners will be drawn on September 28th.

Vintage Brown & Red Tilda

It's been a few crazy weeks.  My unemployment insurance was unexpectedly cut off seven weeks early, so the search for a job has been ramped up, big time!  Keep your fingers crossed for me fellow bloggers - I've interviewed twice for a really good job and as much as I've enjoyed the time off, it is time to return to work and put my rather 'stretched-out' finances in order!! 

Time in my scraproom has been minimal, but I had time this weekend to make this easel card which I am entering in the following challenges:

Friday Sketchers
Scrapgirl Brown & Red Challenge
Just Magnolia Week 65 Vintage
Magnolia-licious Nautical Challenge

I have a few more cards to make for birthdays and babies, so I really need to get busy!  Happy scrapping everyone!!

Bathing Beauty Tilda

I have been promising myself that I won't buy anymore Maggies until I have used each one AT LEAST ONCE!!!  At Simply Magnolias this week, the challenge is to use any Tilda and the colour yellow - also happens to be my favourite colour!!  I am also entering this card into the Scrapbooking Allsorts challenge and the Simons Says Stamp 'check it out' challenge. I haven't used this little sweetie yet and she will make a great birthday card for someone special in my family.  Now I'm off to work on the other 50+ stamps still calling my name!!

Father's Day Cards for My Boys

As much as I love my Maggies, I think my boys are a little too old for these cute little dolls, so my cards today are 'Maggieless'!!  I have a wonderful son and an equally wonderful son-in-law and the vintage photo look really appealed to me and went perfectly with this great paper from BoBunny.  Included in the cards are three of my most favourite people in the whole world!!  Although the cards are identical in layout, I had to post them both in order to brag about my beautiful family.  Have a wonderful week!!

Magnolia Birthday Bash - Week 4!!

The challenge for BB#4 is to make a card from a never used Maggie (okay, I confess, I have MORE THAN ONE Maggie that has never seen ink, but I seem to be buying them faster that I can use them - insert grimace here!!) and it has to be an easel card. 

I must admit that I have never made an easel card before but I can say it won't be my last.  Made this little cutie into a Father's Day Card for my Hero - my wonderful and amazing father who has been my rock my whole life.  Love you Dad!!

Hope you like the card - I think he will.

hAngler Challenge and Blog Candy!!

Hop on over to Paper Crafting in Cocoa for an amazing hAngler Challenge! Create an original card with the colours pink and green and your name will be submitted TWICE for an amazing blog candy prize. I can’t wait to get some of these little cuties!!  Ends Monday, June 21st.

Magnolia Birthday Bash Sketch #3 & Magnolia Down Under Challenge

Okay, I'm jumping on the Birthday Bash bandwagon with this cute little pup made to the sketch provided by the very talented Chris.  Will also enter it into the Magnolia Down Under Challenge for use of flowers (I think it qualifies!! )  Good Luck to all participants and enjoy the rest of the week!!
