Fall Is In The Air For Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog Color Inspiration Challenge

 

Hello Everyone! It's that time again for another Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog Color Inspiration Challenge. I would like to welcome the newest members to the design team, Sheri Willshire, Chris Christensen, Eulanda Silvey,  Cathy Lee, and  Barb Hardeman. I look forward to creating with all of these talented ladies.

 

The Color Inspiration Challenge is being hosted by our very sweet Design Team Leader,  Candy.  For this challenge, Candy has chosen this wonderful photo.



 

 

I hope it inspires you to play along with us! All you need to do is to use a MAGNOLIA IMAGE on your card or project along with the COLORS in the inspiration photo. Your entry will give you the opportunity to be the lucky winner of a Gift Certificate to Magnolia-licious, the best place to shop for Maggies and many other great things!  Diana has the new MagnoliaInk Turning Leaves 2012 - Issue #5 in stock! She also has a Halloween/Autumn Bundle of 14 Mini Stamps with a 28% Savings!!

 

 

 

For my card, I cut a 5 inch circle with Martha Stewart Circle Cutter and then scored it in half using the Scor Buddy. I added design paper from My Minds Eye Six By Six - A Happy Heart Collection.  Autumn Tilda With Broom, from Magnolia-licious, was stamped on Cryogen White Card Stock and was colored using Alcohol Markers, Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol. I paper pieced Tilda's outfit using card stock and design papers.  I cut the frame behind Tilda and the one she is sitting on using the Layered Labels Template from Hot Off The Press. I matted them both with some black design paper. The crocheted lace is from Joann's. The sunflowers are from My Moments that I purchase from Paper Wishes. The small roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The other roses and twine are from my stash. The little brass embellishments on the frame are from K & Company.

Take A Hike for Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog Inspiration Challenge

 

 

Hello Everyone! It's that time again for another Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog Inspiration Challenge. The challenge is being hosted by the talented Jane.  For this inspiration challenge, Jane has chosen this wonderful photo.

 

 





 

 

I hope it inspires you to play along with us! All you need to do is to use a MAGNOLIA IMAGE on your card or project. Your entry will give you the opportunity to be the lucky winner of a Gift Certificate to Magnolia-licious, the best place to shop for Maggies. Diana has the cute new Australia Collection on Pre-Order with a 18% discount off the everyday low price and you can also Pre-order them individually! The new Memory Box Fall and Christmas Dies are also on Pre-order as well!

 

 

The earthy colors in the photo inspired me to create a mountain scene with Hiking Edwin from the Turning Leaves Collection. I decided to make a pocket card using Lifestyle Crafts Treat Bag. For the background, I used Imaginisce Design Papers that I purchased at Michaels. I tore a piece of brown cardstock for the ground on which Edwin would be hiking on. I added some grass using Martha Stewart Grass Border Punch. I punched it out of two different green cardstocks. I cut the grass borders into smaller sections and then adhered them the ground. The pine trees were cut using Sizzix Originals Die #38-0179.  I stamped Hiking Edwin and Sign With Birds, from Magnolia-licious, on Cryogen White Card Stock and colored them using Alcohol Markers, Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol.  I cut the birds off the sign and added an owl button that I bought at Michaels. Then, I added a little bit of twine to the top of the pocket.

 

 

 



 

For the insert, I added a compass from K & Company.

The little pinecone was made using Tim Holtz Tattered Pinecone Die.

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.

For this challenge, I decided to make a Star Pocket Card. I used the Star Catcher shape off the Playful Pockets Template from Hot Off The Press to make it. I traced and cut it out of White Card Stock and added Lilly Bimble Ocean Life Digital Design Papers from MyGrafico to it. I used ScorTape to form the pocket. I stamped Pearl Tilda, from Magnolia-licious, on Cryogen White Card Stock and traced a star shape around her letting her tail hang below the star. I colored Tilda and her little seahorse friend with Alcohol Markers, Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol. I added a little sparkle using a Stardust Clear Gelly Roll Pen from Sakura. I drew some ink on the image and then took my finger to spread it a little bit. I also added some sparkle to the little bubbles.

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.
