Birthday Wishes....

Hi and very happy to be here with a new challenge at Simply Magnolia...this time the challenge is all about Birthday's....what a fun time...so we created a Birthday card with a sentiment....I picked my favorite Birthday Tilda...this stamp is older but i still love her...she's carrying her cake!!! I colored her with distress ink markers and had fun with her...she has lots of frantage in shabby pinks...lots of martha stewart glitter....prima flowers...vintage lace....doohickey tags...doilies...gauze...and she is glued together with lots and lots of LoVe.... I hope you join in the fun....I cannot wait to see all your amazing creations....So happy to be enjoying some much needed sunshine here in New York...we have had a horrible winter...It's still freezing out there with single digits but at least I can head out for my daily walk...there is something so wonderful about putting my face to the sun it warms the body and soul...Hope you have a wonderful day....



Happy Birthday...It's your Birthday....
Hugs

Besties...

O my goodness....i have fallen in love once again...while surfing through blogs this weekend i came across a stamp line by sherri baldi called besties....they are the most wonderful little images...i am truly in LoVe...i ordered a digi image which i don't usually do because i am not good with the process and my ink never stays put!!! i also like to use watercolor paper that won't go through my printer...soooo of course today i ordered a bunch of these as rubber stamps!! I cannot wait to get my hands on these they are so whimsical and magical.... as a child of the 70's i remember seeing paintings of children like these...they had large sad eye's and i was always taken with them....these stamps so remind me of those prints....just lovely...my first card is a study in pink... these are wonderful....

 I love the way the artist has shabbified the image as well...her tattered cloths and mix matched socks....wonderfull....
heart these...

Monochromatic....

Hi and happy to be here on a very rainy awful day here in the northeast....we had the worst thunder i have ever heard last night it shook the house....i cannot remember hearing thunder in the winter ever...very odd...but at least it's not snowing it's raining instead...ugh...
we have a wonderful new challenge at the vintage kontoret this time...it is monochromatic....i had to go with my favorite color for this one....PiNk....and white....hmmm...
these papers are so lovely from maja design and my tilda is from precious moments....she is precious....this is a little art journal i have wanted to make for a while now as i am loving all the wonderful artistic things people do with these...pinterest is a wonderful place to visit art journals and artists alike.... that's where i got the idea for this one....



Isn't she precious....
