I'm having trouble with my blog.  This is a test.

This is my second attempt and I just love it!  Hope you do, too!

Magnolia Mingle October 2014

1. 

Tilda ice skating has always been one of my favorite Magnolia stamps.  I loved coloring her in non-traditional Christmas colors as per the October Mingle.

I used Magnolia background paper with Prima flowers and embellishments.  The additional stamps are from Whimsy.  The colors I used were:

Hair:  E40,59,25,53
Face: E11,00,000, R20
Skirt:  R20,81,83
Stickles

I hope you enjoy my little creation and as always, look forward to hearing from you.

Hugs,
Jamie

I can't use my old blog design for some reason, and I'm struggling to find a new one I like as well.  Be patient with me.....I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer when it comes to computers!  

I did have a chance to make a little Thanksgiving card.  Feels so good to create again!  Hope you like it.

Wow!  Just realized how long it's been since I posted anything on my blog.  I've had some major health challenges over the past couple of years and am still struggling.  I feel that picking up my Copics and beginning again should greatly improve my outlook on life as well as my physical well-being.  Thanks for your  patience.  I'm looking forward to hearing from all of you once again.  God bless.

Magnolia Pink and Yellow Challenge

I just loved creating this little beauty for the Magnolia-licious Pink and Yellow Challenge.  Pink and yellow is a tough combination but I think I pulled it off.  It's my first challenge card and I'm excited....hope you like it.

Christmas Mouse

I fell in love with this little gray mouse in the Christmas stocking!

Marc's Birthday Card

I made this card for my brother-in-law Marc.  He is a great guy and loved by all. 

Tilda's waiting for snow.....

I had this wonderful beaded ribbon and had a brainstorm!  I attached the ribbon upside down on the card, flipped it upright and voila...icicles!

This card has been entered in  ABC Challenge Blog's "Ice and Snow".

Sneaky Tilda

Hi, everyone!  Just finished my "Sneaky Tilda" .  I am still new to this, and she is only my second "Maggie".  I can't seem to get the lighting right on my camera, so please forgive the shadows.  I'm still working on that part of the process.

Hugs,
Jamie

Storage for my Tildas

I'm new to stamping with Magnolia stamps (Tilda to be exact).  I've found that I'm collecting more and more and find it harder to locate the stamp I'm looking for.  I know this is a somewhat primitive way organizing, but it works for me.  First, I cut a piece of 8 1/2 X 11" cardstock in half.  I then stamp the Tilda sideways at the top, with her identifying number below her.  I attached the cute little package she comes in with sticky tape and plopped her safely inside.  I bought an 8" cube at the dollar store and all my Tilda's stand up perfectly.  I now can at a glance pick the one I want, just browsing through the top images.  Hope this helps someone.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween to all my "BOO"tiful friends and family.  Bunches of hugs to you all!
