Valentine Magnolia

This gorgeous Tilda is one from the new '09 Valentines colletion and is called "Tilda with hearts". She is just adorable isn't she and could be used for any occasion. My daughter Zoe said that it reminded her of her Nanny wearing her apron and with the red highlights in her hair. I might save this one for Mother's Day for her. I thought it would a cute idea to add the goodwear mini heart buttons in her apron. The store have some fabulous new stamps in stock. As well as new Magnolia's they have Pink Cat Studio and The Greeting Farm stamps (Anya). The highlighted links will take you directly to the products in the store.

Hugs,

Gorgeous Pink Tilda!

For my card today I have used this cute Pink Tilda and as you can see she is great for any occasion with her little christmas hat which I cut on my Cricut. I just adore these gorgeous Bo Bunny papers which I customised with the tag punch and got Zoe to handwrite it. Underneath the tag the paper said "Love Emma" so thought it would be neat to personalise it. You might notice that all my Tilda's with plaited hair are coloured brown as they remind me of Zoe!

Pink Magnolia

October is.. Breast Cancer Awareness month and I would like you to think pink! My Nan died of cancer two years ago and it is such a sad fact of life that this disease affects so many of us if not directly maybe the people around us who we love so very dearly. I made my card above using one of the new Pink Magnolia's Pink Tilda Ice/Ballet Princess. For every Magnolia Pink stamp purchased approx. 41p will go directly to Breast Cancer Awareness (donated directly by Magnolia).

I am celebrating 30,000 hits on my blog here and have some Pink Magnolia stamps for one lucky person!
