Two Magnolia challenges

This project was made for two challenges:

• Magnolia-licious Highlites - not rectangle or square
• Magnolia Down Under - use themed stamp for something other than it was intended

I created a candy box that uses a 12 x 12 piece of cardstock but in the end is not square or rectangle. I found the pattern on Split Coast Stampers under resources, there sure are a lot of patterns over there!

Here is a front shot of the candy box. You will have to excuse the contents as all I had was Halloween candy brought over by my grandchildren (well actually their mom).

I really love this Tilda and when I bought her I thought she could be used for any type of love theme and not just Halloween. With that being said I think she is great for Valentine's day!!

Here is a close up of the little sign.


And here is another pic from the top. This box is actually pretty large, I emptied one full 1-gallon baggie of candy and still added more from another.

You're still hot

A magnet from a friend inspired this card, along with the new image from the Magnolia winter kit.

This card fits into six challenges. It is so nice to be able to play along again.

• Crafty Creations - anything goes
• Creative Card Crew - anything goes and DT call
• Stamp with fun - sketch
• Incy Wincy - inspiration picture
• Cupcake Craft - celebration
• The Pink Elephant - sketch

I bought this paper several months ago from a store in the area and just love it. It is so pretty!

I also love this new Tilda from the winter kit from Magnolia Sweden. Isn't she adorable?? I colored her with Copics and added some Stickles to her shoes, wings and rose. Here is a close up.


I used my Peony Nestabilities that I purchased from Stamping Scrapping over the holidays as a mat for her. I learned the technique of outlining with the Nesties from a post somewhere but it originated from Katherina Frei's blog.

The sentiment on the front of the card says 'You're still hot' and then on the inside it says 'Even though it comes in flashes'. I just love this!!



Hope you enjoyed visiting and that you come again soon.

Cubicle Calendars completed

Whew!! I finished all of the cubicle calendars that I wanted to make -- grand total is 21!

Each calendar has used a different Magnolia stamp ... does that tell you that I have a lot??

Here are the pics:
