Christmas with Magnolia

This card is made with another fabulous Magnolia image. I just love all magnolia images, they are absolutely the best. I used alot of ink for distressing, and I got the snowflake from my LSS and the smaller snowflake is a punch from Martha Stewart.
This card was made with 3 different Magnolia stamps, the tilda, the bench and the holly. Aren't they awesome. I colored them using my copics and prismas. Thanks for the hints Mom!! I was having trouble with my copics, and she suggested sometimes that I could go over them with my prismas...and it works great!!

Well, I have to get off to work, I will talk to you all soon.

Birthday ATC

I made this ATC for the Tilda and Friends ATC Challenge in March 2008. You really should go and take a look at the great new challenge blog!! The challenge this week was to use pink. Do you think I used enough pink??
Here are the details on my new ATC....

Stamps: Magnolia, SU everyday flexable phrases
Paper: Basill cardstock, K&Company designer mat pad, georgia pacific cardstock
Ink: stazon black, SU chocolate chip
Accessories: may arts ribbon, dollarama baubles, prima flowers
Techniques: paper tearing, paper piercing
I used Prismacolor pencils and OMS for coloring, and then did a bit of highlighting with twinkling H2O's.

Special Days Calendar

What I decided to do for the challenge is a special day calendar. My problem is that life goes so fast, that I don't even think about the events that are coming up, until they are here. Then I either run around like a chicken with my head cut off, or I go and buy a store bought card.
I'm hoping that with this new book, that I will list everyone's birthdays and anniversaries, and then will check it at the beginning of the month, so I know who to make cards for!
Here's a close up of one of the images that I've colored for my book. They are supposed to show that my book is for weddings/anniversary's and birthdays.
The notebook is from target. I covered it with cardstock and designer paper from Stamping Up!'s Simply Scrappin' Friends & Flowers kit. This kit is now retired, and I am so excited to finally use some of it!!

The stamps are from Magnolia and are colored with prismacolor pencils and OMS. I used my cricut to cut out the letters, and a SU punch to punch out the tabs. The lettering on the tabs are stamps from paper salon.

This booklet is very flat and there are not alot of embellishments on it because I don't want them to fall off, and I want to have this book for a long time.

All of the flowers are from the same Stampin' Up! Scrappin' kit.

I found this book so much fun and so easy to do. I hope you all will try something this week too!

I've wanted to post this card for a while now, but I had to wait until my Mom received her card...cause as I'm sure you already know, Mom is one of my most faithful blog commenters!!
