Scrapbooking Magnolias

So, have I told you how much I love the new Good Morning Magnolia set from SU!? 

A bunch of ideas popped in my head when I saw Connie's awesome card, but the Magnolias won out again.  

My daughters just got back from a trip to Charleston, and I wanted to capture some of my favorite pictures they took.  Most people would want to capture the city scenes and landmarks, but the pictures I loved most were pictures of my girls and their loves.  Since both of them are Southern Belles, the magnolias seemed fitting.  
This is going in my Random Thoughts and Pictures (6x8) album.  I am having so much fun putting it
together and using pictures printed on my Sprocket printer.  

I stamped the flowers, lightly water-colored them, and then did some fussy cutting.  All the journaling and titles are computer generated. The background to the top panel was made by masking half of it and then sponging on some green.  

I also put this in the CAS challenge at SCS - summer garden. 

Hugz,

Nancy

Some Penguins

Today kicks off the newest Pattie's Creations Challenge which is Tags . Just Tags. No cards with Tags on or in them - just tags. I love to make just tags so this one was right up my alley. I used the super cute Penguin image from Pattie's Creations, but I couldn't stop at just one so I made a little penguin family. My tag is made from an old cardboard box top which I peeled down, painted, distressed a bit, and then added some snow medium. My bow is actually a new bow designed by Pamela Lehto (available at Squigglefly tomorrow). Please join us in the Pattie's Creations Tag Challenge - there are lovely DT tags for inspiration and Pattie gives away wonderful prizes! Hugz!

Dude Time Doodles blog hops are easy as you can hop on at any point and just continue around.

A Bit of Tea, Horses, and a Cowboy

 I love when my children follow in my footsteps and beyond (only the cool footsteps, of course).   My daughter, Allie, has developed a love of tea.  She sent me this picture over the weekend of her having tea in her newly remodelled bedroom.   She was drinking Breakfast in Paris tea in one of her favorite thrift store mugs.  This is my ticket to the T-day gathering over at Elizabeth's blog .  To join us, all you have to do is have a drink related post (can be any type of drink).   The neighborhood horses have been gathering in our backyard for some reason. Our horse refuses to come up near our house because the lady who owns all these horses gives her much better treats.  They all jump the fences and visit everyone.  The mule in the picture is actually named after me because I named one of cows after the neighbor (he paid me back - lol). I gave them apples when they came on Sunday, and they have come back every day since - lol....
