Magnolia-licious "Pretty In Pink" Entry

Welcome back! I would like to start off by saying thank you to everyone that takes the time to leave a comment. Your kind words and encouragment really are appreciated!

I finally got a chance to work on my pretty in pink card for the blog hop. The design team made some gorgeous cards and it was so fun to see a card made by our Lady Diana! The blog hop was so much fun and you can check out the cards at the Magnoloia-licious Highlites Blog here. There is a awesome pink prize to be won by some lucky person!
Here is my card:

Tilda is called Tilda with Hearts and you can puchase her from Diana at her Magnolia-licious Store here.
I colored Tilda with my copic markers
Design paper is by Making Memories (Love Notes) also Bazzil carstock
I used my new MS Topiary Punch set on the cream card stock and my Spellbinder Fleur De Lis Pendant on the pink cardstock.
My pink ribbion is some of the delicious silk ribbon by May Arts
Well I think that is it. I would love to read what you think of my card if you have time to leave a comment.
Thanks so much for stopping.
Hugs,
Nancy

My Daughter's Birthday Card

Hi Everyone and welcome back! I made this card for my daughter Amy her birthday is today and she loves purple. I love her so much she is the best daughter a mother could ask for. My granddaughter Blaize who is Amy's daughter she helped me with the inside of the card. Blaize (age 8) is my little crafting buddy we have so much fun together!
Take a look and let me know what you think. I would also like to thank all of you that take the time to leave a comment. You are all the greatest! Thank you!
Okay on to the card:



Tilda is # 211 Balloons at Diana's web store Magnolia-licious here there is also a link on my side bar.
Design Paper is by piggytales from the mary mary quite contrary collection
Paper flowers are from my stash not sure from what company.


I cut the balloons off that Tilda was holding and gave her this little rose. I air brushed some purple onto the rose and then added Stickles to all the flowers for some sparkle.
Blaize worked on the inside of the card. She picked a retired Stampin Up set that had a frog and these flowers. Blaize colored them and I cut them out for her. Oh I forgot to tell you that Amy loves frogs why I have no idea! LOL.
Thanks again for stopping by. Now I have to get busy and get my pretty in pink card made.
See you all soon.
Hugs,
Nancy

More Christmas Cards

I have a little story to share. One day on my lunch break at work I was on the internet and some how I landed on Claudia Rosa Blog Pretty Pressings http://rosaswelt.blogspot.com/. I saw some of the most amazing and beautiful cards with these darling little images that I soon found out to be called Tilda and Edwin and I have been hooked ever since then. Claudia is such a sweet person and I am so thankful for her blog that she shares her amazing talent with all of us. I made this Christmas card and small gift to send to her for Christmas. I hope that she likes it. I also made a couple of treat sacks for Claudia's little boys. If you have not seen Claudia's blog you have to click on the link and check it out she is truely a amazing designer.
Thanks so much Claudia!
