HOWDY!

Today's Magnolia-licious Challenge is to create a card or project using the provided picture as the inspiration.

For the challenge I created a 12x12 layout using Magnolia #229 Cowgirl Tilda from Magnolia-licious.

The patterned paper I used is from Creative Imagination. I also used Quickutz, Thickers, Jo-lee's, and Bazzill cardstock.

Here is a close-up of Cowgirl Tilda. I used Copic markers to color the image.

The photograph is of me around the age of 5. As a child I loved anything related to cowboys. Roy Rogers and The Lone Ranger were my idols (along with Superman). The 50's was a great time to be a kid.

I hope you participate in the Magnolia-licious Challenge. You might win a prize from Diana.

July Calendar

Here is my July calendar. I stamped Magnolia-licious' #161 Lightening Edwin which is a Christmas stamp. After I colored the image with Copic markers, I covered the Christmas bulbs with star rhinestones. I also added some glittery stickers.

I got the idea of  'altering' this image from Suzanne Dean. She had used this image for a Valentine card and had covered the Christmas bulbs with hearts. I love discovering new ways to use my stamps. Hope you give it a try.

Thrift Store Frame

Those of you who often read my blog know that I like to alter items. Since I recently decided to change the accent color in my craft room from red to pink I have been busy painting and sewing. Here is a $1 frame I purchased to alter.

The altering steps I used:
1. Filled in cracks with wood putty
2. Painted the frame pink
3. Tore, distressed, and adhered pattern paper to corners
4. Adhered bling
5. Adhered flowers
6. Applied rub-on

I am pleased with the results of the altering. It was an easy process, and I hope you give it a try. You can find many used frames at thrift stores for very low prices.

Grand Ol' Flag

Several weeks ago I told you about the calendar stands my husband made, and I posted a photo of one and one of the calendar pages I made for a friend. You can see them HERE.

Here is my calendar page for June.

The image is from Magnolia-licious #3029 Tilda in Star Dress. I colored the image with Copic markers and added Stickles. I paper pieced the flag with a scrap of Scenic Route. The embellishment on the right is also from Scenic Route.

A Magnolia Challenge

It's time for a new Magnolia challenge from Magnolia-licious. Today's challenge is a color challenge, and it is PINK!

My project for the challenge is a doorknob hanger I made for my craft room.

For my project I used Magnolia stamps #321 Hello Little Butterfly and Open Gate. These stamps are available in mini size also.

Here is a close-up of Tilda. Isn't she adorable?

I hope you decide to participate in the Magnolia-licious Challenge. Don't forget there is a prize from Diana at Magnolia-licious.

Thanks for stopping by. Check back later to see other projects I created for my craft room. Have a great day! LC

A Banner Day

Thought I would share another banner I made using Graphic 45 'Steambunk' and Crafty Secrets 'Creative Scraps'. As you look at each pennant you may recognize some Tim Holtz, 7 Gypsies, Papertrey Ink, Vintage Market Place, and Prima. This was so much fun to create!



I have been redecorating and reorganizing my craft room. I bought pink material today to make a curtain to replace the red with white polka dots. My cat has been helping me with my paper reorganization!
