Love :: Magnolia Challenge #2

Hello everyone! I always have a lot of fun preparing cards for Magnolia Stamp Lovers. It is easy when you have so many great people inspiring you. This Challenge #2 was prepared by Stephanie, a lovely sketch. Since we are getting very close to Valentine's day, I decided to make a card with a love vibe! Can you hear Barry White song in the backgroud??? The Magnolia xstitch, which by the way is the cutest thing, was my chosen image. The good thing about Maggies is that so many of the images can be part of a LOVE card (take a peak).
I also need to add that is my first time using the i-top! I will tell you the tool if soooo cool! HA Life will be easier now, since the i-top make matching easy breeeeeze!!! Okay sorry, but I have to do the dance here. I just love to make my stuff from scratch and this baby does help me doing that.

Have you joined us at the Challenge #2? NO ? Are you serious? HURRY!!! The prize is no less than 1 YEAR, yes I said 1 YEAR of Magnolia INK magazine. This magazine is one HOT commodity!!!!!

Pen & Ink

Today is National Handwriting day. The day was created to remind us of the purity of holding this very simple tool and scribble a few thoughts on paper (or a napkin : ) ). Why today you ask? Today is also John Hancock's birthday. Who cannot picture this very honorable's men signature in one of the most famous documents in History? The very first one to sign the Constitution of the United States. Obviously so many other's joined Mr. Hancock in that day. Benjamin Franklin, Caesar Rodney, John Adams, and so many other brilliant minds. Every time I see an old letter, document, I dream of achieving that kind of penmanship. For now I will leave you with my tribute to Handwriting Day. Grab your Pen & Ink, write a note...or maybe a romantic though that you will be able to send out pretty soon...ahhh love letters....

So what are you waiting for?

Magnolia stamp :: Baby it is cold outside!

Hello dear friends!
Yeah baby! It is freeeezing outside. We have been under one of the coldest winter in 20 years! HA! I will not get into it. Don't try me...the scientist will pop up and you will see some passion here. : ). My geology (yes geology) classes were worth something! I loved them..so watch out! 

Anyway, this week I had the opportunity to participate at a Challenge over Magnolia Stamps Lovers (MSL). The lovely sketch from Mindy brought me an instant idea...including pimping up a bit a magnolia stamp. Well it is all about new year and thinking outside of the box. 
I turned the sketch upside down and triked things a bit ( witch here..nah: ) like using texture giving the image more dimension. See! That one stamp you got, can have a bazillion ways of make it up. So go ahead a get that stamp that you " need "! You bet now I will be needing a whole magnolia collection!!.
My idea was to see the Magnolia coming from outside into her little house with a cheery sunflower to spook the cold! I had fun  trying to make a cool door (with window glass on it and handle!). How about that wall paper...would you like me to decorate your space?..HAHHA. I will bring the cocoa!
