Just Magnolia - Birthday Challenge!!

  Today has been such a nice day!  It's been a great "craft" day and I have finally had some time to craft and catch up on some of my favorite challenges.   And this  is one of my favorites and one I try to participate in every week.  This week the challenge is to make a "Birthday Card" over at the "Just Magnolia Challenge Blog"!  If you want to join in - Please go here, to find all the details - Look for Week 44 - Birthday Challenge.

   I LOVE Magnolia images and that is another reason this is one of my favorite challenges.  This week I chose to use "Jam Tilda" and colored her all in shades of Pink.  I also choose a light tan background cardstock from my Bazzill Swiss Dots collection and some matching pink/brown cardstock from My Mind's Eye.  This is my card that I'm submitting for the challenge --


   This turned OUT to be one of my favorite cards this week and I think the reason I really like it so much, is because of the wonderful mine Prima Roses.   I added one for "Tilda" to hold and another as a simple embellishment.  I adore these sweet little roses and they have quickly become one of my favorite new embellishments.  Don't you LOVE THEM!  I think they are so pretty and add the perfect touch to cards, especially Magnolia cards!   I buy my from Susana's Custom Art and Card Design and I can highly recommend her store and have always had a wonderful experience, when shopping with Susana!   She has some wonderful stamp lines and lots of fabulous embellishments too!  If you like these adorable Prima Roses, you and find them in lots of wonderful colors in here store and the prices are awesome too!   Please click here and this link will take you directly to the Prima Roses!  You can also find other Prima embellishments as well as some new Prima Stamps too!!   I am a huge Prima fan and think that Susana has a nice selection to choose from.   These Purple mini's are my absolute favorite, but I do have many of the  the other colors and I also really like the new Cameo Roses too!    They are all gorgeous and really can be used in many ways!  ENJOY!

   I'm off now to help hubby finish making dinner and then will be spending the rest of the day, picking up and resting. I'm beat now, but had a great day and a lot of fun with my challenges!!


  PS:  Speaking of Magnolia Stamps - my LSS is now carrying them, which is wonderful for me.  I can finally buy them locally and won't have to pay shipping and can get them so much faster too!  Kate(the owner) already had the new Magazine and servery of the newest images, so that was cool.  I bought two new images yesterday and it will be awesome to get them here!  She already has a second order in, as they are already a huge hit!   She also will be offering new classes soon, which are all about Magnolia Images and coloring them with Copics!  WooHoo!  I can't wait!

A Little About Me

My photo
Northeastern, Massachusetts, United States
Purple is my favorite color and ironically - Purple is the Awareness Ribbon color for Fibromyalgia, a chronic illness I lived with for over 18 years. In, March of 2015, I was diagnosed with Stage IV Lung Cancer which had spread to my brain. I am fighting hard to win this battle and determined to beat it. I have a amazing Oncology Team, along with the LOVE and SUPPORT of all my family and friends! I am a Mom to two grown sons, Alex is now 25 and married to Acacia, my wonderful new "Daughter" and the parents to my precious Grand-Daughter Harper, and Brian amazingly is 30 and now lives in San Diego. My boys are the greatest loves of my life. Hubby, me and our two "Pups", Skye and Zeva, two adorable Chiweenies we rescued in 2012, all live very happily in a tiny coastal town in Massachusetts. We lost our dear "Scoutie", a Purebred Dachshund, in April of 2015. I still miss him and will forever cherish his memory. I am an avid card-maker and totally love every minute I can spend in my craft room. It's become my passion, a wonderful way to relax and is my form or "therapy".
