HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHAMP!

Hello everyone,

Today I have used 4 different Magnolia Stamps to create one little image on my card.

First off I really wanted a Edwin soccer player for a little boy card. So I had to think outside the box on this one and put my masking skills to work.

I have used #557 Soccer Bench and sat #3046 Soccer Tilda on top of it without her head... Then I dug out #132 Tennis Edwin with his very cute lost expression on his face and put his head on her body. I think that he turned out adorable.. Then I have added the #547 Medal and put a computer done sentiment inside of it. I have this one cut out and popped.

Pauline does such a wonderful job with her images that you can just about do anything with them. All 4 of these stamps can be found at the Magnolia licious store by clicking on the name of the stamp. Now that is not all.......If you just gotta have those minis they come in that also. Diana has it all in stock right now ready for purchae along with all of the other little cuties in this new sports line.

I have used the sketch from Sunday Sketch and Stamp.
Then over at Copic Creations they want to see us use (BG colors)
Then Just Magnolia is playing bingo so I just had to play along.. I used Pins, buttons, Ribbon line. Then at Basic Grey they have an anything goes this week. (Grey Paper can't find the name of line on it)

papers: Teresa Collins, Basic Grey, MME and Bazzill cardstocks
embellies: silver spacers, black pearls, sparkle tape, rhinestones, buttons, ribbon, heart stick pins, soccer ball, play ticket, bakers twine.
I used my spellbinders round nestie for the image I also have used Tilda old lace DooHICKEY that you will also find at the Magnolia licious store for a big 10% off right now!! I have sewn my card.

THANKS FOR STOPING BY TODAY!!

On the corners of wo of my layers I have used some heat embossing powder. I have used my oval nestables for around my image.

Magnolia-Licious October Blog hop

Good Monday morning all my cyber blog friends!!

Today I have my Magnolia-Licious October Hop card to share.

This month the theme is:

Recipe inspired--create a recipe card and/or project

Okay first things first...

I am the first blog that you should have hopped to from the Magnolia-Licious High Lites Blog
If you should get lost along the way you can always go to the High Lites blog to find your way.

My card has no YUMMY recipe for a food type thing.

But a very important recipe for life.

I have made a

**RECIPE for LOVE**

I have used 3 different Magnolia Stamps for my card.
#255 TILDA WITH COWBERRY MUFFIN
#634 SUGAR BAG
#1410 FRUIT LABEL
All stamps are available from Magnolia-Licious if you just click on the stamp name it will take you right to it.

I have masked the sugar bag and that cute little COWBERRY Tilda. I popped them with foam dots over the fruit label.

I have used many different paper flowers, beautiful velvet trim. dotted ribbon, sugar brads and Karen Foster spiril brads. My images have been colored with my watercolor pencils and copic markers.

Papers are from: 7 Gypies, Lasting Impressions, Echo Park, DCWV, The Girl's Paperie, Bazzill cardstocks.

I have inked all edges with my Ranger distressed inks andI have sewn all layers of this card.

I have used the sketch from Just Magnolia.

For the inside I have used 2 different stamps.
#643 ALOTA BOW
1410 FRUIT LABEL

The **Recipe for Love ** I have done this on the computer and then stamped the image around it. The cute little tag was also done on the computer and then I stamped the cute ALOTA BOW at the bottom and cut it around the bow. In the last photo I have a close up of the tag so that you will be able to read the cute little recipe without lots of eye strain.

I have a little give away for one lucky person that leaves a comment.

I will draw the winner on October 25 and post it on my blog on October 26th.

I have some 6x6 Magnolia papers here from the last few collections. Courtesy of Diana at Magnolia-Licious!! Just leave a comment and check back on October 26th to see if you are the winner. Just that easy!!

Now you need to get moving to the next blog and that would be Barb. She does the most beautiful coloring and is very creative!!

4 X 6 Recipe card..... White Chocolate Truffles

Good Tuesday morning to all of my blogging friends!!

I hope you all had a great weekend! Mine was a 3 day weekend and I did get a lot done so that was great but today I have to go back to work.

Today I have made a recipe card that is 4x6 and put a cute little TIlda and her rolling pin on it. The ingredients are on the front and the how to is on the back. I have made this for a co-worker of my hubby as he has ask me for the recipe. I had made these at Christmas time and he just love them. I did make some more of the truffles to give along with the recipe card so that his wife could see them and taste them as he didn't save any to take home. LOL........ I also have done this with another recipe that he wanted that I will be showing you on Thursday. Hubby will be taking this plate of candy with recipe cards to work with him today so on Thursday I will let you all know what this co-worker has to say. I would bet that he will be so surprised that it not just and hand written recipe. LOL... But I COULDN'T do just that!!!

Over at the Just Magnolia Blog they are asking for THANK YOU cards this week and I feel that this little set fits right into that so I will be entering it there.

Have a great day.....Off to work now.

Hugs, Janiel

LOVE with Magnolia TIlda

Good Monday morning all of my blogging friends!! I am just a tad late in posting this morning. I just can't get on track yet. LOL.............I am hoping that things will be getting back to somewhat of a normal around here for me this week. I love the holidays but they sure do screw up anything that is normal in your schedule. I did get all of my decorations down and boxed and even put away yesterday with the help of my Mother. Yahoooooo...........all put away until next season.

Today I have made a card using the sketch over at Just Magnolia by Mina. What a fun sketch it is. I have used a cute little Tilda Devil from the Halloween Collection by Magnolia that can be bought at Michelle's Scrapbooking and More. By using her for a Love card instead of Halloween I am able to enter her in the Magnolia Down under challenge also. :o) I have added prima flowers, Maya Road stick pin hearts, Love tick by Tim Holtz, shaped buttons, pearls, trim and ribbon. I have used my oval nestie for the image and left the legs hanging over the edge. I have also used my *NEW* Swiss dot folder by cuttlebug and my McGill pine leave punch to complete this very sweet little card. I have my copic marker and watercolor pencils to do the coloring. I have also used my distressed inks to ink all edges and I don't know if you can see that her horns and wing have stickles on them but they do...

Thanks for stopping by today to have a look...

Now just a heads up.........................Have you see the new Sugar Nellie digi stamps at Funky kits?? They are so cute!! I just received mine this morning so I will be working on them in the next week or so. Pop over to funky kits and see for yourself how beautiful the digi stamps are!
