Secret Sister card

Here is the card I made today for my Secret Sister in a swap on the cricut mb.  She hasn't got it yet, but since it is reveal month, I think it is safe to go ahead and post it!  Below the picture I will list everything I used for it.  I have colored the Tilda image with my copic markers.  I love coloring with them, but it has been a while so I'm kinda out of practice.

I used the following copic colors:
E000,00,01,27,55,57,71,74,79
Y04,06,08
YG63
RV21,23,25
V09,12,15
C3,5,7
and my blender (0)

The image is Magnolia Water Can Tilda from the Sweet Rainbow Collection, stamped with Memento ink on XPress-It cardstock. 
DP is DCWV from the Mod-Retro Stack
Swiss Dot Cuttlebug folder
Prima Flowers
'Friend' CTMH "Say It In Style" set
CTMH inks:Sunny Yellow and Hydrangea
Yellow cardstock, ribbon, popdots, and brads are from my stash.

I hope my SS likes the card!  I know she will like all the goodies I am sending her with the card!  Those I will NOT show you on here!

Thanks for stopping by my blog today.  I hope you take a little time to look around and would you do me a favor and feed my fish for me.   Thanks!  Please come back to check out My Little Craftin Corner again soon!

Magnolia card

Hello eveyrone!  Thanks for stopping by my blog this morning.  Grab a cup of tea and relax for a bit with me!

I got an email this morning directing me to a blog I follow, it is Mary and she is on the Magnolia Design Team.  Mary got lucky enough to be at the Magnolia booth at the Chicago CHA show this past week and has shared some pictures on her blog.  You can check them (and a beautiful card she made using an upcoming Tilda stamp)  HERE

I am sure you will agree with me that Mary is VERY VERY talented!!

Here is a lo I did today of my busy little grandaughter.  Last year when we went to visit them she kept picking flowers out of Jessica's flower bed, and giving them to us, or putting them on our clothes or in our hair.  Such a busy little girl, but she did stop long enough for Jess to put some pretty ones in her hair too!  The DP is from Fancy Pants Designs and everything else is just from my stash.

Home from vacation!

Hello everyone!
We got home late last night from a great vacation in Colorado visiting Josh, Jessica, and the kids.  We had a wonderful time, they had a couple of great spots for us to go visit.  One day we spent at Heritage Square Amusement Park, which was just the right size for the kids!  (Kim, Andy, and Joey went with us)  All three kids had so much fun riding the rides.  Who knew Kaitlyn would love the Tilt-A-Whirl so much!!  And while we were there, I got to go down the Alpine Slide with Carson!  What an  awesome thing to do!  Here are a couple links to the park:
Heritage Square  and the slide

We also went to Echo Lake, which is absolutely beautiful!  We walked all the way around the lake and the view was always breathtaking!  Here is a picture of one side:

Another highlight of the trip was when Jessica, Kim and I went to Archivers!  I love that store!!  I got some neat things to try, including an Imaginisce Petal Roller, a thing of Inky Antics Honeycomb paper, Jillibean Soup corrugated shapes and frames, and even some Tim Holtz kraft Glassine (glazed paper stuff!).  And of course several other things that look fun and challenging!  I am off the rest of this week and hope to spend a good deal of that time in my craft room!!

Of course my favorite part of the whole trip was spending time with family!  My grandchildren are just the best kids around and we had so much fun together!  They are growing fast and with two of them living in Colorado, I savor every moment I can spend with them while they are young!

So now you all know how I spent the past week!  Thanks for stopping by my little craftin corner, hope you enjoy your visit and come back often!!

Special waves today to my friends from CRAFTING BY DESIGN!!

Perspective

You know how sometimes it is interesting to see what everyone's different perspective is on something?  Well, my neice, Randi, has started a blog for photography called OUR OWN PERSPECTIVE .  She is gonna post challenges on it based on a word or subject, and anyone can post a picture they have taken that shows their perspective of it!  Doesn't that sound like fun?  Even if you aren't a photographer I think it will be fun to look at everyone's pictures and see their perspective!  You can check her new blog out HERE!  And anyone can become a follower, whether you participate or not!  Be sure to leave her some lovin while you are there too!

NEW CARDS

Here are a couple of cards I made recently!  The first one is the one I made for my June Bug Secret Sister, the wonderful AmyMLT.  Of course I used a Tilda, I colored with Copics, on it.  Pretty much everything is just from my stash as far as paper and lace and stuff.  I hope she liked the card!

This other card is one I made to have on hand.  It is a Bildmalarna image called Little Mimosa.  She, too, is colored with copics markers.   Everything I used on this card is also from my stash.  I made the little tag using my Making Memories tag maker!  It gets neglected often and shouldn't cause it is a great tool!

Thanks for stopping by my blog today.  Grab a glass of tea and relax a bit, feed my fish, play my game, and maybe get a little inspiration.  Come back soon!

Happy Scrappin!
