Magnolia Beautiful

A few months ago, I was one lucky girl, winning a blog candy at Thanks again, to a very generous blog owner - Kristie. I received a fun paper pad along with 2 Magnolia stamps. I could not wait to ink the stamps, but with all the traveling last month and catching up with life after vacation, I didn't get a chance to do so until last night. Here is what I came up with:

Supplies: Magnolia Beautiful stamp, Spellbinders dies, Wild Orchid flowers,
Sentiment: Lili of the valley
Coloring: Copics: E25, E29, E000, E20, E11, E21, E33, E50, RV000, RV00, RV02, RV11, RV91, RV93, RV95, R20
Additional: EK Success border punch,  Recollection flowers, Epoxy stickers

It's been a while

It's been a while since I posted anything on the blog but I've been busy lately. First getting ready for the family vacation, then almost 3 weeks in Europe (YAY!) and finally getting back to reality upon returning home. The 6 hours time difference wasn't helping for the first few days. And then, when I finally thought I was back on my feet, my kid got sick and ... you know how that goes. But it's all good, Daniel is back to his happy self and I have some time to craft. So I made 2 cards tonight. Here is the first one, for our ScrapFriendly yahoo group. We were asked to use provided image to color it with a medium of our choice and to use it on a card or another paper project. I made this little card.

Supplies:

Coloring: Copics

Additional: Martha Stewart hearts border & hydrangea punches, Nestabilities tag

Card for Joe

My good friend Bonnie, met through our online Scrap Friendly yahoo group is planning on surprising her husband Joe with 60 cards for his 60th birthday. So many members of the group decided to help out with that goal and make a card for him as well. Here is my little card for Joe. I bet it will be great to be showered with all the cards on his birthday. I may borrow that idea and do something similar for my hubby turning 40 later this year ;) But shhhhhh... it's a secret, we don't want to talk about that ;) LOL

It's time to RELAX

Here is a card I made for my hubby for the upcoming Father's Day. We will be in Poland on the Father's Day so I haven't decided if he is going to get it on June 19th (American Father's Day) or June 23rd when we celebrate Dads back home. In any case, I need to make another Father's Day card, for my Dad this time.
Here are the supplies I used:
