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.

Just a note

Just a quick little ATC I made using one of the cute new Valentine Tildas which are in the shop now. Isn't she just adorable and it doesn't have to be just for valentines - think she would be great as a 'hello' or 'just a note' type cards. (Will try and make this into a card and add it to this post when I'm done to show you)

Edited: as promised, have used it as a topper to make this card;

There are lots of new goodies arriving at the shop so make sure you check back often. I'm hoping to play with all my fab new goodies next week so should have more to show then.

Loving Christmas Wishes...

Hi Ladies,

Oh wow I can't believe is already Friday . Today I want to show you a card made with this cute stamp called "Amanda" from High Hopes. I got this stamp for long and barely used it, but when I received this paper from " My Mind's Eye" I knew I had to give it a try. All the highlighted items can be purchased at the store.

I stamped the image on Watercolor paper and I colored it with distress re-inkers from Tim Holtz and an Aquash Watercolor Pen to blend the colors. I added a lot of stickles, some Prima flowers, brads , drew drops and some adhesive stones .
The sentiment stamp is from Magnolia's Winter collection.

Hugs,

LIM :)

Calender

This is the second month of the Karen Foster calender that I started back here and which I was supposed to have finished by now (but then hubby scuppered all my plans LOL.) My plan is to use all Magnolias throughout and the store now has some of the newer ones in like this cute skating pair which I just had to use for Feb as I think they look so romantic like that! However even if I don't finish it this year (which I'm hoping I will!) I can still use it for future years as it's a perpetual calender so it won't date! The good bit is, that you can buy both the calender and the bundle kit together at a great reduced price at the moment - think they make great presents (either made up or left blank for recipient to make their own)

Materials (highlighted items are available from SM and the link will take you straight there):

• Images: tilda couple skating from new year Magnolia range, feb 14 seal stamp from their valentine range.
• Colouring: Copic caio marker pens - my fantastic xmas pressie off hubby (I got 108 of them!!!)
• DP : all the dp and stickers are from the calender bundle kit which goes with the blank calender, get both and save here. Makes it super easy to put together, especially if you are behind like me! Just 10 more months to go (swore I wouldn't be doing this again about this time last year LOL)
• Other: 'Love' ticket from Tim Holtz 'adage' set - not sure if in stock at moment, the journalling ones are though.

Will try and complete some more months soon!

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!

See below the links in blue which will take you directly to all the products in the store.
