Hello dear blogging friends !!!!!!!!!

Well I got some play time in today. I figured I had better enjoy the last few days I have off before I return to work Monday. Yelp I went and saw the surgeon yesterday and he has released me to go back to work. I am ready for the most part but will miss having so much free time. It has been a whole month that I have been off since my surgery. But am feeling good and am ready to return, just not the 11 1/2 hours. lol

First I would like to give you a head’s up that there will be a new release coming Sunday from Susana’s Custom Art and Cards. You don’t want to miss out so keep stalking the Follow Your Heart Blog so you don’t miss out !!!

But I wanted to make a note book for a dear friend of mine that has been here helping me and checking on me all the time. It is so nice to have a nurse around when you need one isn’t it ??

I have used this Nurse Tilda for my card (fitting huh?) she has been colored with my copic’s and spic glitter pens.

I have used one of the Memory Box dies  and added lots of flat pearls to it.

The borders are from Cheery Lynn Designs and I have used twinklets on all the flowers.

I used a magnolia flower and Marianne leaf die

The papers that I have used are some older SU papers. And I used walnut stain distressed ink on all the edges.

Here is a close up of the border and the image.

I am entering this into the following challenges.

The Official Magnolia Inspiration Challenge Blog where the theme is Pink and a bow

Some play time !!

Good Day dear friends !!! I hope everyone’s week is going well. It is almost the weekend for all the hard working people !!!

As for me, well I am still off work . Yes I went and seen the surgeon  yesterday and he is not letting me return to work  yet. I go back for another follow up in a couple of weeks

It is nice to be off work but not without a paycheck coming in. Plus I am really starting to get bored lol Yelp you read that right. i was sort of ready to go back to work. Maybe just not the long hours lol

But today I wanted to show you a couple of things I have made over the last few days that I finally finished.

First up here is a birthday card for my brother. I am not very good doing guy cards so no flowers here lol. But I have used Edwin here from Magnolia. He has been colored with my copic’s and  the sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps.  I have used a label from Spellbinders and some brads with spacers in the corner.

These gorgeous papers are from Maja Design that was from the Crea Shop. Oh how I wish we could get these papers here in the states !!!!!!!!

Next I finally finished a bag I needed to put a gift in and I used these adorable Hanglar images. Papers are from K&Co and I used Spellbinder corner die, Cheery Lynn Designs for the doily and a die from Tim Holtz for the bracket.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and I have used a Magnolia leaf die and a MS branch punch. The lace was from my stash and I distressed the edges of the papers with distressed inks.  And the border punch I used is from SU.

I also used a Viva Decor Pearl Pen to make some  flat pearls on the corner dies. Susana has lots of Viva Decor Products in her store and am so loving playing with all these products.

Here is a close up of the bag.

Well that is it for me for today. I need to try to go do some cleaning and then hope to get some more play time in.

Thanks for stopping bye and visiting me and I so appreciate all your lovely comments you leave me. They do mean so much.

Special Tilda

Hello dear friends !!!

I hope everyone here in the US had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I know I cooked and ate to much lol But that is part of the holidays isn’t it ???

I got such a wonderful surprise in the mail this week. An early Christmas present from one of my dearest friends !!! Oh so many wonderful things but I have used a couple of them here on my card today. She got me some luscious papers of Maja Design. Oh how I wish we had these here in the states. I about cried when I cut into them. Then she got me this special Tilda isn’t she just gorgeous ??? Both of my items came from Crea Shop Duymelot in Holland.

Magnolia are donating 500 euros to the Swedish Cancer Fund, and for every one of these stamps sold 2 euros is donated to the Pink Ribbon Cancer Fund and so a very good way to raise funds and awareness. This charity is also very close to Astrid's heart (the owner of the Dutch shop) as she has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. So if you would like to get this adorable Tilda the place to get it is at Crea Shop Duymelot . And please keep Astrid in your prayers.

I have colored Tilda with my copic’s  and have added some Glamour Dust Glitter paint to the hearts.

Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts

Square doily from Cheery Lynn Designs 

Leaf and fence from Magnolia

Heart is from MS
