Happy Harvest For Just Magnolia and hAnglar and stAnglar Challenge



Hello Everyone! Yesterday was my birthday! My sweet hubby took yesterday and today off  from work to spend my birthday with me!  It is the best birthday gift this girl could ask for! He also gave me some lamps for my photo tent, so hopefully the next time I take some pictures, they will come out much better! We are going to take our motor home to Doheny State Beach in Dana Point today. We can park right on the edge of the sand. It is always so nice and relaxing to be spend the day at the beach!


Today at Just Magnolia and hAnglar and stAnglar Challenge, the theme is to Create A Country Scene. I hope that you will join in on this fun challenge! Your entry will give you an opportunity to be the winner of one of this week's wonderful prizes from The Cutting Cafe and The Ribbon Girl.


For this challenge, I used My Mind's Eye Abbey Road Round and Round Design Papers. Tilda with Carrots, from Magnolia-licious, was stamped on Cryogen White Card Stock and colored using Alcohol Markers, Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol. Instead of having all carrots in Tilda's basket, I colored some of them to look like rutabagas and potatoes.  Tilda has picked the vegetables to make a nice stew for Edwin!


I made the barn using D.J. Inker's Ultimate Doodle Collection Digi Art CD. I printed the barn on red and white card stock. Then, I cut the white trim pieces out of the white and glued them onto the red. For the fence, I used Martha Stewart Border Fence Punch. The pumpkins are buttons that I found at JoAnns. The sunflowers are from My Moments that I bought from Paper Wishes. The orange roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The doily is from Wilton. The "Happy Harvest" was stamped using a Studio G Dollar Stamp from Michaels. The lace and the rooster weather vane are from my stash.


Thank you for stopping by my blog! I really do love reading the comments that you leave for me and appreciate each and every one of them!

Have a wonderful weekend!

A Double Treat For Just Magnolia and hAnglar and stAnglar Challenge




Hello Everyone! I hope you are enjoying your Summer so far! It's starting to warm up here in Southern California. I live near the coast and my thermometer outside soared to 96 degrees the other day!  I don't have central air, so I had all my fans going to stay cool. When I was cutting out the Tilda that I used on my project, I noticed that a fingerprint was on Tilda's little face. My sweaty fingers must of picked up some black ink. LOL! Luckily it came off!!


Today at Just Magnolia and hAnglar and stAnglar Challenge, we are being hosted by the very talented Bev. The theme that she has chosen for this week is BINGO. I hope that you will join in on this fun challenge! Your entry will give you an opportunity to be the winner of this week's wonderful prize from Embellishments DE.



 I have used Ribbon & Lace, Flowers and Pink.


For this Challenge, I decide to make a Double Pocket Treat Holder. I found the tutorial on how to make it Here.  I used Daisies Digi Design Papers from Shery K. Designs that I found at MyGrafico. I printed the daisies first on one side of  white card stock and then printed the polka dots on the other side. I added some butterflies that I cut from Tim Holtz Idea-logy Sketchbook Tissue Tape.  Summer Tilda, from Magnolia-licious, was stamped on Cryogen White Card Stock and colored using Alcohol Markers, Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol. For the heart border, I used EK Success Arrow Slim Edger Punch. The roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts. I made the daisies that match the Design Paper. The lace is from JoAnns. The pink ribbon is from my stash.



Here is a side view.


Here is the back and a tag to go into the pocket.



Thank you for stopping by to visit my blog. I appreciate all the comments that you leave for me!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy 4th Of July For Just Magnolia and hAnglar and stAnglar Challenge



Hello Everyone! Can you believe that 4th of July is next week!  4th of July is one of my favorite holidays.  My hubby and I decorate the wheels on our bikes with red, white and blue crepe paper streamers and participate in the neighborhood bike parade. It is always so much fun. Even our dog, Woody, comes along with us.  We have a bike trailer that he rides in that has been adapted with a wood floor so he can stand up in it. Woody has a pair of Doggles that he wears to keep the bugs and road dirt out of his eyes.  He has as much fun as we do.   .   . maybe even more, because everyone says hello to him!


Today at Just Magnolia and hAnglar and stAnglar Challenge, I am so happy to be hosting. For this week's challenge,  I have chosen  Add A BANNER to a card or project . I hope that you will join in on this fun challenge! Your entry will give you an opportunity to be the winner of one this week's wonderful prizes from 7 Kids College Fund and The Ribbon Girl.


For my card, I used Lilly Bimble Patriotic Digi Design Papers from MyGrafico. I added a Double Mat of Red and Blue Card Stock using the Perfect Layers Rulers.  Burger Tilda, from Magnolia-licious, was stamped on Cryogen White Card Stock and colored using Alcohol Markers, Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol.  I used the Scor Bubby to create the Bunting Banner. I used the stripes in the Design Paper as a guide for the score lines. Then I used  FabricTac to form and to add the K & Company Americana Pillow Stars to each bunting.


I created the picnic table by cutting a rectangle out of the Design Paper and two oblong diamonds to place on the corners. The legs are just two strips of brown card stock. The Pie is from Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers and the Condiments are from Stampa Barbara. Unfortunately these two companies have gone out of business. The little flag in the pie is from a Studio G Clear Stamp Set.   .   . the flag is on a cupcake.  For the grass, I used Martha Stewart Grass Border Punch.  Before I glued everything down, I sponged some clouds in the background using a cloud template. "Happy Fourth Of July" is also from Studio G. The ribbon is from Michaels.


Thank you for stopping by my blog! I hope you have a wonderful weekend! And, for those of you in the USA, I hope that you and your families have a fun and safe 4th of July!





Big Hugs,

Purple and White For Just Magnolia and hAnglar and stAnglar Challenge




Hello Everyone! I hope you are all doing well and that you are enjoying the beginning of the Summer.  Here in the Southern California, we've been having a bit of June Gloom.  .   . cloudy in the morning and then they burn off by the early afternoon.  .  .perfect weather to work outside in the garden.  Unfortunately I haven't been able to, because a swarm of bees came through my backyard Memorial Day Weekend and landed in the neighbor's tree.  My Dad, who was a bee keeper for 25 years, one of his hobbies, has told me to stay out of the backyard until the bees have been removed. In recent years, some of the bees in California have become very aggressive and have been known to attack people if they feel threatened.  I have such fond memories of going with my Dad to tend to his hives and the honey from them was the best I have ever tasted.


Today at Just Magnolia and hAnglar and stAnglar Challenge, we are being hosted by the talented Monika. The theme this week is to use Purple and White on a card or project . I hope that you will join in on this fun challenge! Your entry will give you an opportunity to be the winner of one of this week's wonderful prizes from Crafty Sentiments Designs and Stamping Scrapping. 

For my card, I decided to use Sizzix Tim Holtz Alterations  #657217 Vintage Cabinet Card Die. I placed a folded piece of white card stock just inside the cutting line to cut the card out. Then I cut additional pieces out of  Printworks Design Paper. I just had a little piece left of this beautiful purple and white paper.   .    .I wish the purple would of photographed better. The true color is much richer.

Loves Me Tilda, from Magnolia-licious, was stamped on Cryogen White Card Stock and colored using Alcohol Markers, Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol.  For the frame, I used Hot Off The Press Layered Labels Template - Squared Oval Label A. I traced and cut it out and then matted it with some purple card stock. The "just sittin' here thinking of you" is from C.C. Designs Amy R Stamps - Wish You Were Here Set. For the fence, I used the Magnolia Lovely Fence Die Cut. For the butterflies, I used Martha Stewart  3 in 1 Butterfly Punch. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The scalloped trim is from Offray and the flowered trim is from my stash. The pearls are from Hero Arts.

Thank you for stopping by my blog! I really do love reading the comments that you leave for me and appreciate each and every one of them.

Have a wonderful weekend!

You Are Berry Berry Special To Me



Hello Everyone!  As you may have noticed, I love to use Digital Design Papers on my cards. Unfortunately, my favorite Epson Printer gave out last week and I now have to use another Epson All In One Printer that I have.  The colors are not printing the same as my favorite printer use to do, so I've been trying to play with the settings. Until I get the colors right, I had to go through my stash of Design Papers to look for some papers to use for the upcoming cards I need to make.  I came across the Doodlebug Design Papers that I used on this card. I've been saving it in my stash for a while now, thinking someday I would use it for something special! I think that is why I like Digi Design Papers so much. You can print them over and over again in any size you want them to be in.


For my card, I used Doodlebug Berry Pink and Cupcake Swiss Dots Design Papers. Berry Tilda was stamped on Cryogen White Card Stock and colored using Alcohol Markers, Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol.  For the scalloped frame, I used Hot Off The Press Scalloped Frames Template. I traced and cut the 4" one and then matted it with green card stock.

For the frame that Tilda is sitting on, I used 6" wide Scor Tape, lace that I found at JoAnns, The Art Institute Glitter #87 Hot Kiss  and Sizzix #655028 Frame #2 Die.  You first stick the Scor Tape on a piece of  white card stock. Then you place the lace on top of it and add the glitter. Once that is done, you can die cut it into any shape. I saw this technique demonstrated at a local stamp convention.  The glitter doesn't show up very well on the photo, but it looks really pretty in person.

For the "You are Berry Berry Special" saying, I used a Studio G Stamp that I found at Michaels. It was traced and cut out using Hot Off The Press 15 Lovely Labels Mini Bracket Label. The little strawberry is from a Japanese Sticker Set that I received from a very sweet friend. The doily and the lace is from my stash.  The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and All Natural Accents. For the flourishes, I used a die from Bosskut.

Thank you for stopping by my blog!  I hope you have a wonderful weekend!


I'm entering this card in the Wild Orchid Crafts Week 51 - Eyes Down For Bingo Challenge - Ribbon and Lace, Flowers and Pink

Love Is In The Air For Just Magnolia and hAnglar and stAnglar Challenge



Hello Everyone! I'm sorry that I  haven't posted a card in awhile, but my Mother-in-law,
Suzanne Ruth Galle Laverty, passed away the end of April. She was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis at 26 and lived with it for 48 years.  Throughout her life, her faith in God was strong.  She was always grateful and felt very blessed.  I can't tell you how much she will be missed.


Today at Just Magnolia and hAnglar and stAnglar Challenge, we are being hosted by the very talented  Jacque.  She has created this wonderful sketch for us to use.




I hope that you will join in on this fun challenge! Your entry will give you an opportunity to be the winner of this week's wonderful prize from Jacobi NL.


For my card, I have rotated the sketch 90 degrees to the left.  I have used My Mind's Eye Miss Caroline Howdy Doody Design Papers. Rose Scent Tilda, from Magnolia-licious, was stamped on Cryogen White Card Stock and colored using Alcohol Markers, Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol.  For the frame that Tilda is sitting on, I used Hot Off The Press Layered Labels Template. After tracing and cutting out Fancy Label A, I stamped it using Sandylion French Impressions Clear Stamp Set and then added pearls from Hero Arts. The "LOVE" was stamped using Impression Obsession WP-17 Sentiments II Clear Stamp Set. This a great set to have, because it has all sorts of words that you can combine or use separately. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, Recollections, and All Natural Accents. The lace is from my stash.


Thank you for stopping by to visit me! I'll be by to visit your blogs soon! I hope that you have a wonderful weekend!

I'm Beary Happy We're Friends For Just Magnolia and hAnglar and stAnglar Challenge



Hello  Everyone! I've been wanting to use Teddy Bear Love Tilda ever since in came out!! The cute image brought back fond memories of when I use to collect Muffy Bears. One of the first Christmases my hubby and I celebrated together, my hubby bought the Christmas Edition Muffy Bear for me. He took it out of the box and put it under the tree for me to find.  He threw the box that it came in away not knowing that it should be kept!! Well, my hubby ended up writing the company to get me a replacement box.  He asked if he could please get one, so he could get out of the dog house. The company sent out a new box and wrote a sweet letter saying that they hoped the box would help him get out of the dog house. LOL!!

Today at Just Magnolia and hAnglar and stAnglar Challenge, we are being hosted by the talented Deb. This week's challenge is Pretty Spring Pastels . I hope that you will join in on this fun challenge! Your entry will give you an opportunity to be the winner of one of this week's wonderful prizes from Embellishments DE and Letraset.

For my card, I used Safari Girl Design Papers from Best Creation Inc. Teddy Bear Love Tilda, from Magnolia-licious, was stamped on Cryogen White Card Stock and colored using Alcohol Markers, Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol.  I cut two frames using the Cindy Lou Cricut Cartridge <Frame - Heart>, one at 3 1/2" and the other at 3 3/4". I embossed the frames using Swiss Dot Cuttlebug Embossing Folder. The lace is from JoAnns. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, All Natural Accents and from my stash.

I feel "Beary Lucky" that you stopped by to visit me!!  Thank you for all the wonderful comments that you leave for me!  I can't tell you how much I appreciate it!!

Have a wonderful weekend!! I hope to see you again on Tuesday for the new Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog Inspiration Challenge!!

Lily Princess For Just Magnolia and hAnglar and stAnglar Challenge


Hello Everyone!!  I hope you all are ready for the arrival of the Easter Bunny! I bought my dog, Woody, a little pink bunny toy. It's funny, he loves pink toys!! When you pull the tail of the bunny, it hops forward. Woody and I have been having so much fun playing with it. I pull the tail while Woody patiently watches. Woody lets it hop across the floor for a little bit and then grabs it and throws it up in the air. I think I'm going to have to get a couple more of these little bunnies after Easter. LOL!!

Today at Just Magnolia and hAnglar and stAnglar Challenge, we are being hosted by the talented Mina. This week's challenge is Anything Goes. I hope that you will join in on this fun challenge! Your entry will give you an opportunity to be this week's lucky winner of a wonderful prize from Simon Says Stamps.

For my card, I used Nitwit Promises Digi Design Papers. I just love the blue and purple combination. Princess of the Valley Tilda, from Magnolia-licious, was stamped twice. Once on the Butterfly Design Paper and again on Cryogen White Card Stock. The Tilda stamped on the Cryogen White was colored with Alcohol Markers, Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol. It was cut out and glued on top of the image stamped on the Design Paper. I did this, because I knew that I wasn't going to be able to cut out all the small details and I didn't want anything to be left out of this cute image. The two larger flowers were made from scraps of the Design Papers. The other flowers are from my stash and Wild Orchid Crafts. The lace and ribbon is also from my stash. I tied the double looped bow using the Bow Easy. I made the butterfly stickpin using some beads from a bead kit that I bought at JoAnns. I found the bead kit in the dollar section.

Thank you for stopping by to visit me!! I always love hearing from you!  I hope to see you back here on Tuesday for the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog Color Inspirational Challenge!!


I have entered this card in the Wild Orchid Crafts Week 46 - Things with Wings Challenge.


Have a wonderful Spring weekend!! And, a blessed Easter Day!!

It's Not Easy Being A Princess For Just Magnolia and hAnglar and stAnglar Challenge



Happy Spring Everyone!! I hope wherever you are that you are enjoying a nice Spring day!! I live in Southern California, so my daffodils have already come and gone. It's kind of sad, because I love having them in my garden.  They are one of my favorite flowers next to Sweet Peas. It really makes me happy to see them. It's just nice to know though that they will be back again next year to put a big smile on my face.


Today at Just Magnolia and hAnglar and stAnglar Challenge, we are being hosted by the talented Anne. This week's challenge is to use More Than One Fold on a card or project. I hope that you will join in on this fun challenge! Your entry will give you an opportunity to be this week's lucky winner of a wonderful prize from Dies To Die For .

For my More Than One Fold card, I decided to make a Center Step Card. I found the pattern on Teresa's Folded & Fabulous Cards CD from Hot Off The Press. I used We R Memory Keepers Love Struck Design Papers. Sweet Princess Tilda and Prince Phillip (the frog), from Magnolia-licious, were both stamped on Cryogen White Card Stock and colored with Alcohol Markers, Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol. I think these two images are so cute together! Tilda looks like she thinking, "It's not easy being a princess, especially when you have to kiss a frog." LOL!  Hero Arts Ultra Fine Prisma Glitter was added to Tilda's crown and the heart on the arch. Glossy Accents was added to the frog's crown. The arch was made using Sizzix Frame # 2 - 655028. I just cut off the bottom of the frame. The flowers on the arch are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The grass was cut using the Grass Border from Martha Stewart. The flowers on the grass are from All Natural Accents. The butterflies are stickers from Best Creations.


Thank you for stopping by!!  I always love hearing what you think of my cards!! Your comments are so appreciated!!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Just Sitting Here Thinking Of You For Just Magnolia and hAnglar and stAnglar Challenge



Hello Everyone!! One of my New Year's Resolutions was to use my Cricut more often. I have been getting the Cricut Magazine at JoAnns for a several months now and my hubby even gave me a subscription to the Magazine for Christmas.  I have all these magazines next to my bedside and before I go to sleep, I look through them for some inspiration. I finally have my Cricut out of the box.  I don't really have a permanent home for it in my craft room though.  It's sitting on top of the box that it came in and I take it to the kitchen table whenever I need to use it.   I  used it to cut the frame in today's card.  I think it's a good start.

Today at Just Magnolia and hAnglar and stAnglar Challenge, we are being hosted by the talented June.  This week's challenge is to use Blue and White on a card or project. I hope that you will join in on this wonderful challenge! Your entry will give you an opportunity to be this week's lucky winner of a wonderful prize from Crafts You Love.

For my card, I used  Nitwit Cottage Charm Digi Design Papers. Tilda With The Cute Skirt, from Magnolia-licious was stamped on Cryogen White Card Stock. Tilda's dress was colored with Water Based Markers and a Tombow Colorless Blender Pen. I colored the markers on a Stay Put Craft Mat and picked them up with the blender pen. The rest of Tilda was colored with Alcohol Markers, Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol. The frame that Tilda is sitting on was cut using the Cricut  Fancy Frames Cartridge <Frame 12> + <Fram 12Lr>.  The roses on the frame started out white and were colored using the same Water Based Markers that I colored Tilda's dress with. I had seen a wonderful video that Bev Rochester had done on altering flowers and I had to try it. I colored the markers on a craft mat and sprayed them with Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Mist. I lightly sprayed the white roses with Glimmer Mist as well. Then, I took the roses and picked up the color from the craft mat. I made the little white flowers with a couple of small flower punches and some stamens that I found at JoAnns in the cake decorating department. The white trim was also found at JoAnns.  The Blue Making Memories Ribbon was a gift from Wooten's Scrapbook Store. If you live in Southern California, you have to visit one of their stores.  Wooten's has the most wonderful selection of papers and embellishments that I have ever seen.  And, Mr. and Mrs. Wooten, the owners, are the nicest people and always so helpful. Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Wooten for being so kind to Jacque, Bev, Michelle and me when we shopped at your Tustin Store after CHA.

Before I close, I would like to share some exciting news with you!!  I have been asked to be on the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog Design Team!! Oh My Goodness!! I can't tell how thrilled I am to be on this wonderful team!! All the Design Team members are so talented!! I am also very proud to be representing Magnolia-licious, the best place to shop for Maggies!! Congratulations to Jacque and Cabio on their appointments to the Magnolia-licious Design Teams as well!

Have a wonderful day!! And, a big thank you to all of you for visiting!! It really means a lot to me!! I hope that you will come back on Tuesday for my very first Magnolia-licious Challenge Card!!

Big Hugs,

Sending Love To You For Just Magnolia and hAnglar and stAnglar Challenge


Hello Everyone!  I'm so excited to be hosting my very first Just Magnolia and hAnglar and stAnglar Challenge.  When I was asked to pick a theme, the first thing that came to my mind was a Doily. Doilies remind me of handmade Valentine's, hearts and love, so I thought it would be the perfect theme for this time of year.  All you need to do is add a doily - store bought, die cut or crocheted to your project along with a Magnolia or hAnglar and stAnglar image.  It would make me so happy if you could join me and the rest of the talented Design Team for this week's challenge. Your entry will give you an opportunity to be the winner of one of this week's wonderful prizes from Jacobi NL and The Ribbon Girl.  We are so lucky to have two of  The Ribbon Girl Design Team members joining in on the challenge as well!

For my card, I used We R Memory Keepers - Love Struck Design Papers. Tilda Sending Love, from Magnolia-licious was colored with Alcohol Markers, Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol. This Tilda is one of my favorites from the Sweet Crazy Love Collection.  I think she is so cute!  I love her curly hair! The heart doily is from Wilton that I found at Michaels. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, Recollections and from my stash.  The vine was cut with a Bosskut Die.  The crocheted lace is from JoAnns. The pearls are from Hero Arts.  And, the stitched ribbon is also from my stash!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!! I really do appreciate it!! Have a wonderful weekend! I'm looking forward to watching the Academy Awards on Sunday with a big bowl of popcorn.

Big Hugs,
Suzan

With All My Heart For Just Magnolia and Christmas Candy


Happy December Everyone! I still can't believe that it is already December!! Where has the year gone!!  In Southern California where in live, we have been experiencing unusually high winds.  Luckily, there has been no damage caused by them in my neighborhood.  I hope wherever you are that you are enjoying a beautiful day!!

Today at Just Magnolia and hAnglar & stAnglar Challenge Blog, we are being hosted by the talented Donalda. For this Special Monthly Challenge, the theme is Anything Goes along with the option of Lots of Sparkle. I had a lot of fun with this challenge!! If you like glitter like I do, I know you will have a lot of fun too!! I hope that you will come and join us!! Your entry will give you an opportunity to be this week's lucky winner of a wonderful prize from  
Simon Says Stamps!!

For my card, I used Red with White Polka Dots and Snowflake DP's from Three Bugs in a Rug -  Let It Snow Collection. I also used Red Glitter Paper from JoAnns. I used Martha Stewart - Snowflake Punch Around the Page that I purchased from HSN for the snowflake frame. I have to tell you that it looked like it had snowed in my craft room, because I don't know how many times I tried to punch the snowflake frame. LOL!!  The border would not match up with the corners. The instructions said to start with a 3 1/4" square.  I finally realized that it needed to be smaller, so I used a 3 3/16" square. Tilda with Snow Heart from Magnolia-licious was stamped on Cryogen White Card Stock and colored with Copic Markers, Prismacolor Pencils, and Gamsol. The snow heart was glittered with Hero Arts Ultra Fine Prisma Glitter. This is my favorite glitter!! I also used the glitter to re-glitter the snowflakes that I found at Michaels using Martha Stewart Glitter Glue. I wanted the snow heart and snowflakes to have the same color of sparkles. The red sparkle ribbon is from my stash.  I used the Bow Easy to make the bow.
