It’s Friday…time for a new challenge at Tilda’s Town Challenges,  HERE.   It’s Time to Celebrate… so get out your Magnolia stamps and see what you can create to play a long!  We’d love to have you!  Tilda’s Town online store, filled to the brim with Magnolia goodness is the sponsor of this challenge blog.  Every week a new challenge and a chance to win a $15 gift certificate to the store!  Tilda’s Town offers free shipping to anywhere!  So awesome!

I love these special edition stamps from Magnolia!  Freedom,  something to never take for granted… right now in this country we feel like we’re losing it… so much government… what country would take me in?  I don’t want politicians parenting me, deciding what they think is best for me and that is what we have right now… so disappointing.

I’ve been to New York City twice…one time was just in the airport to go overseas and the other time I went to the National Stationery Show.  It was quite the experience but I was so homesick!  Our first grandchild was just  a few months old at the time. lol   All the people walking… and where were they going?!

❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

Oh,  am I supposed to be showing a card?!  oops!  I’m back…  four new stamps showcasing the good ‘ole USA and the Statue of Liberty… so fun!  The Freedom Background stamp is inked up with Chipped Sapphire and Fired Brick and stamped on Kraft cardstock.

I stood Liberty Tilda HERE, on the Flower Wall Post HERE, and colored with Copic Sketch Markers.  I was trying to match the color of an online picture of the Statue of Liberty…hmmm…. so I used ten or more markers and my picture makes her look toooo blue-ish but IRL it’s pretty cool!

America the Eagle and Liberty Banner are in the store HERE.  The chip words on the banner are from a package by K & Co.

a close up of the pond…

Lazy Days of Summer is this weeks challenge at Tilda’s Town Challenges, HERE… an easy challenge to create with when Magnolia has so many fun images to play with!   I used a ton of stamps and dies on this Easel card with Easel add-ons.

 Here‘s my video from last year when I made this card. I wish you could see it IRL!  It’s so much cuter!

The pond is adorable… EK Success small paper shaper punch fish… the water ripples and lily pads are from a Cottage Cutz die, HERE.

I used Hooked Tilda, Little Miss MuuMuu, Barbed Wire Background, Magnolia Branch, Lazy Summer Days, Picnic Quilt,  Floral Swirl Corner and Clover with Flowers, at Tilda’s Town store HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE.

I stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Hammermill Color Copy 80# Cover card-stock and colored with Copic Sketch Markers.

The sky is inked in with Tumbled Glass Distress ink and the ink blending tool

Mats/layers were all cut with the Perfect Layers Tools.

You know me… down to the wire! = )

Here’s my sweet, sweet Tilda for today… Hello Butterfly Tilda and Tulip Walkway from the Butterfly Wishes Collection, in the store HERE.  I stamped her on Hammermill Color Copy 80# Cover paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored her with Copics.  I really like the hair combo I used this time,  E50 all over, YR31, Y21, E35 and E37.   The pinks I used on her dress are RV0000, RV11 and RV32.

❤❤❤❤❤

Basic Grey pattern paper… the logo stamp is from CC Designs Butterfly Logos set and don’t cha love this new Floral Swirl Corner die from Magnolia too!  Sweeeet! It’s in the store at Tilda’s Town HERE.  I cut it in green and pinks… clipped out the flowers and glued them on top of the green.  Added pearls…  Used the Perfect Layers tools of course!  A Wilton doily and a  Martha Stewart butterfly punch.

❤❤❤❤❤
