Vintage Tilda with Dog - Magnolia Card

Do you recognize this Tilda?
Yes? No? Maybe So?

Well, she is Flower Girl Tilda and I have made her into Tilda Walking her Dog...lol
With all of my "Leila-ness" lately...I was inspire to create this card.
I made the tear dog out of Mulberry paper and added a cute pink leash for Tilda to take her for a walk.
I imagine Tilda's basket is full of dog biscuits rather than flower petals.
Hope you like my twist on this Cute Tilda :)

Leila & A Sister Scrapbook Page

It's Friday, and I'm back with a premade scrapbook layout.
This page is all about sisters, and how much fun they are have bicycling around in their cute little outfit.

I want to share with some new pictures of Leila. I just love her to pieces! lol

Here she is before her play time...

Leila running around and having fun...

Here she is after her play time...very tired and ready to be held and cuddle again. lol :)


She gets plenty of love and is growing very well and healthy as a puppy!
I hope you enjoy these photos and hope that it brings a smile to your Friday.
Thank You so much for visiting my today, enjoy your weekend.:)

GD Belles 'n Whistles - You & Me- BnW Card

Happy Monday! I had a great weekend and hope you did to.

Today, I would like to share a card I made for Belle's 'n Whistles Challenge blog.
This week is "So Distressing" and the DT has some gorgeous cards you just have to see for yourself. :)
I'm having a great time coloring these adorable stamps. Isn't Eden so sweet with her Teddy Bear?
Her Teddy bear was paper pieced from Mulberry paper.

I've used the sketch over at Paper Play, distressed the edges, added some tulle, fabric eyelets and heart MS punches on this card.
I really like the color combo on this card...not too pink and not too brown...just right for me.

Belles 'n Whistles Stamp: Eden with Teddy
Coloring Medium: Prismacolor Pencil & Sansodor Oil
Paper: K&Co.

As always, Thank You so much for visiting me today.
I wish everyone a beautiful Monday.

These little guys are made from Mulberry papers, aren't they adorable?
Ahhh...a perfect way to start the weekend. :)

Have a great time this weekend everyone!

Magical - Magnolia Card

I didn't think this Tilda was one of my favorite but after coloring for 2 days ...I love her!
So much fun to color...and the possibilities are endless.

I found these small MS doilies awhile back, but didn't have the right card to use it for.
After coloring the image with all the bubbles, I knew it was time to open up the MS package.
I have added different color chalks around the edges to bring all the colors on this card together.

I had a great time making this card, hope you like it!

Magnolia Stamp: Bubbling Tilda
Coloring Medium: Prismacolor Pencil & Sansodor Oil

This card was entered into the following Challenges:
