I just had to jump right in for the Just Magnolia challenge blog this week…A GREAT PRIZE…oh, I hope I win! Thinking maybe it helps your chances if you just come right out and say that…I better go back to yesterday’s post! haha
Trying my hand at a sketch again…ugh! Am I the only one?????? I get all done thinking I’ve done a grand job and immediately I want to tear it apart! WHAT?!!! I wish I’d put a mat behind the music piece and I’m sure there were a couple other things too…but I’m trying to exercise self-control and leave it alone!
Here’s a close up of this charming extra pink cheeked Tilda!!! lol

The Making Memories paper was still out from yesterday…May Arts ribbon…Prima flowers…Making Memories tree button (old)….Amuse Art stamps sentiment…background stamp on oval behind Tilda is from Stampington Christmas Elements clear set…the music paper is from the Cosmo Cricket new holiday 6×6 pad and the gold brads are from Making Memories.
Oops, better not forget the good ‘ole Bazzill cardstock…love that stuff!!! Have a great weekend!
I’m trying not to talk about the weather!!! lol

Tilda cooking up somethin’

September 11, 2009August 12, 2017 Pam Sparks19 Comments

The project this month at the Magnolia-licious Highlites blog is this accordian folder holder made with business size envelops, chipboard, pattern papers and of course Magnolia stamps!

Here’s the front! This Tilda is from the Fall Kit you preorder, sight unseen! Full of yummy images!
They are available to order individually now. The kitchen cabinet is from hÄnglar stamps, also a Swedish stamp company. I colored with my copic sketch markers and the pattern papers are from My Minds Eye. The label punch and stamp are from Stampin Up. I used the Tim Holtz tiny attacher (staples) and my oval nestabilities dies for the rug. Hope that’s everything…give a holler if I missed something!

The Season of Change

I’ve had this Tilda by Magnolia for I don’t know how long and just had to get it stamped and colored this week! I used a sketch from Papertake Weekly Challenge blog.
It is just my “style”!

Tilda from Magnolia of Sweden – Pattern Paper by K&Co. – cardstock by Bazzill – ribbon by Martha Stewart – sentiment stamp from Michael’s….

I really don’t want to think about this year being more than half over! But I do enjoy the fall colors, the cooler weather and lower humidity! oh and playing in the leaves! HA!

Strawberry Girl

August 16, 2009 Pam Sparks27 Comments

My title makes me think of the book Strawberry Girl by Lois Lenski…yesterday’s post about reading and all… Oh, I loved going to libraries! I LOVED the elementary school library! I grew up in Council Bluffs, Iowa and we had to ride the bus uptown to the library because my mom didn’t drive. Standing on the corner waiting for the bus was just part of my life! Later we tried riding our bikes but it was a challenge cuz I always wanted to bring home more books than I could carry on my bike! Simple pleasures! Having children and home educating just made me love reading even more! Decisions, decisions…stamp or read, stamp or read…hehe To bad we have to sleep and eat!!! So….what do you think of this warm gray background w/the cream card-stock and papers? I wonder if I would’ve flunked art! hohohoho… I hated art in school…I could not do it! It was so frustrating because I was a really good student in every area except P.E. and art! I HATED P.E.! I really didn’t mean to get off on this! Here’s the card…
