SNEAKY PEEKY---LOTV All In A Row


Happy Saturday to each of you and I am wishing for you a marvelous weekend!! My thoughts are certainly with all of the people on the Eastern Seaboard as they prepare for the wrath of Hurricane Irene. I am about 8 hours inland so we will perhaps get a bit of breeze and a little rain...but those on the coast will be suffering for certain!! Be safe all!!!

Oh boy!!! I am finally able to show you a SNEAKY PEEK for the upcoming launch of the second group of LOTV Christmas images! I know that you loved the first launch and these are oh so cute as well! The launch will take place on September 6, and will contain 22 new cuties!! But until then be sure to check on all of the DT SNEAKY PEEKS both on the DT members' personal blogs and especially on the LOTV Ideas to Inspire Blog.

To showcase the darling All In A Row, I made a purse giftbox using a Darcie's template which was a gift from my sweet friend Suzan. Thanks, Sweetie!!! Darcie's website is not open at the moment but I understand it will be soon. The purse body measures about 8 inches (21mm) across the bottom and is about 6 1/2 inches (17mm)tall, excluding the handle. The papers I used are from an old MS Paper Pad. The image was stamped on XPress-It Blending Card and colored with a combination of Copics and ProMarkers...adding a bit of Prisma Glitter for the snow and glitter on the dresses. Aren't those three little munchkins the sweetest little things?!?!! The tag is from the LOTV Circular Christmas Sentiments cut out with Nesties and tied on the bag with wee red satin ribbon and a flat bow. To finish the front of the purse I used red ball fringe and a couple of WOC Mulberry Paper Poinsettias (I removed the centers of the flowers and replaced them with some sparkly brads) and some WOC Holly Leaves!

I hope you like my little giftbox and will continue to keep your eyes on the LOTV Ideas to Inspire site for all of the other darling images!!

Thank you so much for dropping by and I hope you will come back often! Remember that tomorrow is the SUNDAY SENSATIONS from Magnolia-licious where there will be another nice surprise for someone!! Until the next time, Big Hugs!!

THANK YOU, EVERYONE!! for Just Magnolia and hÄnglar & stÄnglar Challenge



Happy Friday everyone!!! I hope that you have all had a magnificent week because I can assure you that mine was SPECTACULAR!!! And gosh...it's weekend...so let's all have a wonderful weekend, too!!! I know I intend to!!!

Today starts a new week at Just Magnolia and hÄnglar & stÄnglar Challenge where we are being hosted by the very talented and sweet Donalda who has invited us to play a fun game of BINGO!! So come on over and play this fun game along with us--we would love to see your wonderful creations!! There are two fabulous prizes this week from two of our wonderful sponsors: Crafts U Love and The Ribbon Girl!

For my card this week I wanted to make it a special one to thank each of YOU!!!! The base and all matting is Bazzill and the beautiful DP is from the EP Victoria Gardens Paper Pad, which was a gift from the sweet Donalda!! Thank you so much, Sweetie!!! All panels are machine stitched. You can tell that I wanted as much of this lovely paper to show as possible! I love it!!! This Magnolia image is a very special one to me and one which I have had for a very long time--not knowing just how special it would become to me!! This is actually 2 stamps: little Tilda and a seperate pink ribbon stamp. She was stamped on Cryogen White and colored with Copics, adding a wee bit of Star Dust Stickles to her wings. For the horizontal I used some gorgeous iridescent lace which was a gift from Suzan--thank you so very much, hon!!! I then added a double bow made with exquisite 32mm Silk Ribbon from Wild Orchid Crafts. I made a small bouquet to match the one Tilda is holding using handmade script paper wrapping some 5mm Mulberry Rose Buds. The tiny tag and sentiment are SU. I finished the front with WOC Self Adhesive Pearls.



The inside is very simple but with my fondest of thoughts for each of YOU!!! If you can't read my message just click on the above photo and it will enlarge enough for you to read!

Thank you so much for dropping by today and I hope you will want to come by for a visit often!! It is always such a joy to know that you were here! Have a great weekend and I will be back real soon!!

Wishing you a Special Day at Just Magnolia and hÄnglar & stÄnglar Challenge



Happy Friday Everyone!!! I hope you are ending a marvelous week and are looking forward to a spectacular weekend! I don't know about you but I am so happy this week is almost over!!

Today starts a new week at Just Magnolia and hÄnglar & stÄnglar Challenge where we are being hosted by the very talented Jan who set this weeks challenge as HOLIDAY FUN! This can be any type of holiday and there is a wonderful prize available from Jacobi.nl. So come on over and show us some holiday spirit!! We would love to see your wonderful creations!!

For my card I used Bazzill for the base and all matting, the DP is from the Vintage Rose Paper Pack by Craftworkcards, and all background panels were machine stitched. I used coordinating papers and tiny button brads to make the pennant banner with a SU punch which was a birthday gift from my talented friend, Claudia...thank you so much Sweetie!! The darling little Lying Tilda was stamped on XPress It and colored with Copics, adding a bit of Star Dust Stickles for the lace on her shirt. This little girlie is from Magnolia-licious and although she is not available at the moment, the MINI version is in stock. She was actually stamped out twice and on the first one she was cut out using the "out of the Nestie" technique..the second image was cut out completely and propped up for more dimension. The little round sentiment is from the LOTV Calendars Set. The rest of the products are all from Wild Orchid Crafts: 25mm Open Rose, Hip Rosebuds, and Vintage Seam Binding Ribbon.


The inside is very simple...I used a SB label with computer generated sentiment and double bows on the first panel and a triple nestie with bow for the jotting panel.

I hope you like my little creation and will pop over and see the beautiful cards made by the DT at the Just Magnolia and hÄnglar & stÄnglar Challenge.

Table Top Christmas Tree at Wild Orchid Crafts and SWEET STUFF!!



Happy Tuesday to each of you!! I hope you had a marvelous weekend and are now into a fun and exciting week!

Today is my day to post at the Wild Orchid Crafts Blog and I would love to invite you over to peruse this wonderfully inspirational site. You will certainly have a glimpse at EVERYTHING WOC!!!

A friend asked me to make her a red rose table top Christmas tree so of course the first place I went for some gorgeous red roses was Wild Orchid Crafts!! I apologize for the picture but I could not get the wrinkles out of the backdrop. I finally found a small 24" (60mm) tree at some website which has 66 tips and I began by using a white maribou boa as garland and tiny 3-D snowflakes. Then Wild Orchid Crafts took over!! I used 25mm (1") Red Organza Ribbon for each of the 66 flat bows and used varying sizes of WOC Red Roses: 35mm Trellis Roses, 25mm Wild Roses and 20mm Open Roses. Finally I topped the tree with a multi-loop Red Organza Bow. I didn't make a skirt to cover the base of the tree since my friend already had something she wants to use!!

SWEET STUFF!!! Seems like forever since I offered a touch of SWEET STUFF for my FOLLOWERS so since it's Christmas In August today I would like to give you a chance at a few Christmas-y things!! All you need to do is leave your linky with Mr Blue Froggy below before Thursday night, August 11, at midnight EST to be in for the draw with Mr Random.org.


1 Set of 11 Inkadinkadoo Christmas Stamps
1 Bunch of White Mulberry Roses
1 Bunch of Red Mulberry Roses
1 Pack of Maya Road Vintage Paper Posies
1 Package of Traditional Christmas Ribbons
1 Package of Sparkly Christmas Ribbons
1 Bunch of 3-D Silver Snowflakes

Thank you so much for dropping by today!! It is always such a joy to know you have been here!! Have a marvelous week, and I hope to see you again real soon!! Big hugs!!

Tilda With Curls at Just Magnolia and hÄnglar & stÄnglar Challenge



Yipeeee!!! It's another Friday and I hope a very happy one for you all!! This has been an interesting week...but nevertheless, we all need one of those from time to time!! lol

Today starts a new and fun theme at Just Magnolia and hÄnglar & stÄnglar Challenge! Our wonderful hostess this week is Mina who has asked us for GLITTER!!! This week is also the Special Monthly Challenge with a marvelous prize from Simon Says Stamp so come on over and GLITTER along with us!!! We would love to have you join in with us this week!

Rather than a card this week, I decorated a journal made especially for Diana at Magnolia-licious. All of the matting papers are Bazzill and PTI, the DP is from the Tilda Fruit Garden Paper Pad, and the background panel is machine stitched. I used the darling little Tilda With Curls from the Wedding Collection at Magnolia-licious. She is temporarily out of stock but it looks as though she just might return any day! This is one of my favorite stamps to use when I have a tall thin space to work with. For the vertical I used a wide grosgrain ribbon topped with a grosgrain polka dot ribbon. To anchor the vertical I tied a white glitter heart button and a small pink button with WOC Pink Divine Bakers Twine at each end of the ribbons. For the bow I used a satin polka dot ribbon. Tilda was stamped on XPress It Blending Card and colored with Copics, adding a touch of Stickles and Prisma Glitter. For more GLITTER and sparkle I used some Prima Swirls from WOC as well as some Self-Adhesive Rhinestones.

I hope you like my little creation and will decide to come on over to the Just Magnolia and hÄnglar & stÄnglar Challenge and show us your GLITTERATIONS!!!

Thank you so much for dropping by today!! Best wishes for a wonderful weekend, and until the next time, I send BIG HUGS!!!

LOTV Christmas Snooze



Happy day everyone!! I hope you are all enjoying a marvelous week...and we are getting closer and closer to another weekend, which I hope will also be a very nice one for you!! It has been so HOT in these mountains that I just can't believe it!!! It is supposed to be temperate and pleasant in the summer here....sigh!!!!

For my card today I used another of those little darlings from the latest release over at Lili of the Valley--Christmas Snooze...and isn't he and his trusty doggy the cutest little things?!?! The image was colored with Copics, adding a touch of gold glitter to his crown and some Glossy Accents to the cuppycakes and pitcher before cutting it out with triple Nesties. The base and all matting is Bazzill, the DP is from the BG Jovial Collection, and all background panels are machine stitched.I used a diecut from Memory Box to hold down the light olive satin ribbon which was tied into a double flat bow to hold a gold wreath charm. The double matted sentiment is from the LOTV Christmas Circular Sentiment Set. Finally I added some Small Gold Filigree Corners.



The inside is just a few matted Nesties, more satin ribbon, a few WOC Pearls, and that sweet holiday sentiment from the LOTV A5 Verses Set.

Thank you so much for dropping by and I hope you will come by often!! It is such a joy to know that you have visited! Have a wonderful day and until the next time, I send big hugs!!
