Celebrate today

Hi friends!!

Another week has come & gone, another week that I feel I got *nothing* done. I'm always busy, but I'm not accomplishing anything! Today forced me to stay home & clean, do laundry, & yes finish a card!! It is ICING outside --not snowing --not raining ---ICE ICE ICE!!! Ice all over the streets --my husband had to go to work today & thankfully his co-worker with a 4 wheel drive truck called & asked if he wanted a ride --not too sure he would have made it in his non-4 wheel drive car!



I'm also behind in the Magnolia world. While everyone else is getting their new release stamps, I am just inking up mine from a few months ago. This is Tilda in Christmas Coat.....which you can get a 7 Kids College Fund HERE ....(check out ALL the Magnolias she has HERE .....Tab has great prices & EXCELLENT customer service!)

I colored Tilda with Copic markers.....papers are K&Co McKenna & Bazzill Dots.....lots of Stickles & Fun Flock on her coat.....the sentiment is from Papertrey Ink....





Hopefully you can see the sparkle & flock in the close up :)

I am entering this in this week's challenge on the 7 Kids College Fund blog --to make a square card. Not hard for me, ALL my cards are square :) Ok well it's a topper not a card....shhhhh....don't tell anyone!!

I will be listing this topper in my Etsy shop tonight. I have so many things to list & just no time to get it done ---the cards are piling up & collecting dust! I make them, then I forget about them.....

I hope you all have a fantastic week! Stay warm & if you're getting fantabulous icy weather we are getting, stay safe!! Thanks for visiting!

You make life sweet

Hello blog peeps!!

Well I do believe I have not posted since the SUPER bowl on Sunday ----& unless you live in a cave, you know how that went!!!! I *heart* my Green Bay Packers ~~ they definitely deserved this & I look forward to seeing them win it again next year!!!!!!!!

Ok enough football talk ......I wanted to do a card for the Just Magnolia challenge this week --anything goes with the added option of using ribbon ---& I just squeaked this one through!! Even though I only have one Hanglar stamp, I *adore* them & am thrilled that the Magnolia challenge now includes Hanglars!



So here is my card, using one of the adorable Hanglar images my good friend Tammi sent me. She is always sharing her goodies & I just love her for it! So generous --thank you Tammi!

Anyway, Miss Hanglar (do they have names?) was colored with Prismas & cut out --the papers are all K&Company Que Sera Sera edged with Crackle Paint. The heart also has Crackle Paint on it & is sprayed with Glimmer Mist, although I could not get a picture of the lovely shimmer. The sentiment is Amuse ---I was thrilled when my LSS started carrying Amuse although they of course do not have the ones I HAVE to have!




Here's a close up.....she has Stickles on her hair bows, the heart of her apron, & the frosting on the cupcake. Not sure why she's looking so washed out....quick, shoddy photography, I guess. I have been in such a hurry with everything I do lately, everything is being done not very well......sigh...is it better to get everything done at less than 100%? Or to really focus on each thing as it comes & not get around to everything? I'm feeling spread a bit thin these days :(





Here's a close up of the flowers, which I sprinkled with Glamour Dust. Man that stuff sticks to everything! Miss Hanglar has glitter in places nobody ever should!

I actually made this into just a topper, no card base. Some of my favorite stampers make toppers only & I think it's a great idea --that way they can be used on a scrapbook page or put in a frame. I will be listing this on Ebay shortly ---you know ---as soon as I do the other 82 things on my list for today!!

Thank you so much for visiting ---hope you're staying warm!
