Stamp with Fun

It seems like ages since I have stamped. Since the graduation activities are finally over, I have been scrapbooking all the grad. activities. I started with scrapbooking and I do enjoy it. But today I wanted to stamp so I followed Bea's sketch on Stamp with Fun. I am also doing this card for the Roses on Paper challenge which calls for doing another challenge and simply adding flowers for the Roses on Paper challenge.

I used this sitting Magnolia and made a little change on the image. This Tilda comes with a tart on the front of the shirt which I simply did not ink and then put this little pearl bow. Both this bow and paper are from a blog candy I won. The paper is Kate Knight from Dovecraft. It was lovely to work with.

I used markers to color the image and attached her to the top layer with foam tape.

I used my Marvy punches to make the flowers. The photo does not show the glossy of the white flowers. I actually used photo paper. The colored center are colored with the markers to match the image. The center brads are from SU.

The inside shows more of the paper from Kate Knight. I added a sentiment section using the label 4 nestibility.

It was fun to stamp again. I still have to finish the graduation scrapbook so it may be a bit spacier between cards. Talk soon.

Just Magnolia Altered Tin

As promised a couple of photos of my graduating son and his girlfriend at their prom. I noticed I put in the uncropped version but isn't set up great. His girlfriend set up this swing for the photos. To night is the exercises and then life will go into Summer mode.

The challenge at Just Magnolia is to alerter a box, bag or can. This is a can that used to hold Prima flowers. I am using it as a gift box holding a grad gift for one of the girls.

I love this stamp of Tilda picking flowers. The butterfly was included in another stamp I order from Pheobe at the Town Scrapper...my source for Magnolias. I colored Tilda with my Prismacolored pencils, I did use the light peach marker for the flesh though. I embellished the flowers with stickles and used the butterflies and half pearls on the top edge.

I embellished the outside bottom with DP and them added ribbon with silver edges. I added doves made with the MS bird punch. I made the bow with my bow easy.

This last photo show the layering of the flowers. I love the colors and the stacking of the Prima flowers.

This is the first tin I have ever altered and I am really pleased with it. Now to find more tins. Off to the Graduation Exercises. Talk later.

Imagine It Dream It Become It

I have not shown this card to my son who is graduating since he will not approve of the Pinkness of this card. I made it following the Just Magnolia Challenge call for Pink and Green. So let's just keep this one a secret!

I love these stamps...it allows me to match the graduates. My youngest son is graduating and this card represents him and one of his closest "girl friends" who is very blond and loves green. This card will work for her.

I colored using the Prismacolored Markers. I added the diplomas and hats from the graduate Cuttlebug die. I love this die....all kinds of small images. I ran the pieces through my xyron before attaching them. I used the label 1 nestiblity and distressed the edges with tattered rose and peeled paint. The hats are grad hats and SU mini brads.

On the inside I made two pockets to hold the tag and a gift card on the other side.
This sentiment is from stampendous and I think it is absolutely perfect for grad cards. The weather is so great here today so I have to run off and enjoy it.

Talk later

Just Magnolia Challenge #1

A new challenge blog just started today. It is Just Magnolia found at
http://justmagnolia.blogspot.com/. It is a fun place and for this first challenge it is a sketch challenge with a prize for one lucky player. And boy is it a prize. Please, go check it out and if you love Magnolias then play along.
I colored with Prismacolor Markers and used Stary Night Stickles on the lilacs. As I look at this photo I noticed it is without the sentiment which is a get well note. The Prima flowers add embellishment. The half pearls are from the Pretties kit from SU.

I used the same papers on the inside and used the same layout without the circle shape. It's Friday night and everybody is out but me....yeah no distrubances ...and loads of stamping. Check back tomorrow for something new....I hope. Talk later.
