Button and Bling Challenge at Magnolia Stamp Lovers

Hello Friends,

Happy Sunday to All!!

It is time for a new challenge at Magnolia Stamp Lovers Challenge Blog and it is my turn to host a challenge. 
I decided to have buttons and bling on the cards for the challenge!! I love buttons and don’t use that much, so this is an excuse to!! heh

Here is my card:

I just love this Romantic Tilda image from Magnolia stamps. This is my first time coloring her… can’t believe!!

I colored my image with the following copic markers: R46, R29, R29, R22, R59, E01, E00, E000, R20, Y18, Y15, YG67, C2, C1, C00.

Background papers are from Basic Grey.  I love basic grey papers..
Have you noticed that I distressed the papers  I had never done this  before and I love the result.. I used paper distresser from Stamping Scrapping.

Button that I used in the center of the flower is from Gallore Buttons and for the bling I used rhinestones from KC. Both of them are on sale at Stamping Scrapping Store.

I hope you liked my card and like the challenge theme too and come over at Magnolia Stamp Lovers Challenge Blog to play with us!

I`m entering this card in the following challenges:

• Tellen`s place Challenge: buttons

Ballerina Tilda

Hello Maggie Lovers,


guess what?  Today is my turn to show a card for the pastel color challenge at Magnolia Stamp Lovers Challenge Blog.


Well, I wanted to make a card with other color than light pink as I have been making many cards with pink color lately.. Then, had to decided which  image I would make my card.. so picked Ballerina Tilda from Magnolia Stamps.


I know we imagine a ballerina with pink dress but as I said before, I wanted to go with other color than pink.. soooo.. I chose light blue…  and here is my card:





I think turned out cute in the end and I`m pleased with it. This image is so cute that any color goes with it, don`t you think?


I colored my image with copic markers BG02, BG01, B00, E47, E33, E53, E01, E00, E000, R20, C2, C1.


Have seen Cindy`s new line of flowers?  check it out here, they are gorgeous!!!

Grandma, I need to say to you that I miss you, I miss your voice, I miss  your hug, I miss  your kiss on my cheek, I miss your smile, I miss looking at your eyes, I miss you telling me stories about my great grand parents, I miss your advices, I miss your homemade bread, I miss your food, I miss your love.... I miss you terribly...  


I know you are fine wherever you are....  I pray for you every night!!!!  I think about you everyday and every night!!  I'll never ever forget you!!  I love you Grandma!


Here is a pic of two of us taken last year, 6 months before she is gone!!

Nite nite Grandma!!
