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

Unopened Mail And My Grocery List

We arrived back from our Las Vegas trip last night so the only thing on my Kitchen Counter is unopened mail and my grocery list.  I have looked up the recipes for most the great food we ate (or wish we ate) in Las Vegas including Bacon Waffles and Chicken and Waffles - so my counter top should look awesome tomorrow (or as soon as I get a waffle maker).  We had lots of fun in Las Vegas but not as much as Crystal and Joey.  If we were still 21 we would have had a blast!  No luck with gambling - but I only gained 1 pound which is a miracle!

Christmas Mice

Hello Crafty Friends, Today, I am playing in some fun challenges with this cute card: The current House-Mouse &Friends Monday Challenge HMFMC #461 is Anything Goes with an optional theme of Pastels. I have some pastel paper in my layers. This card was made with ornaments from a SU! set, a cut up sentiment from RedLead Paperworks, and three mice I cut out of the Spellbinders Sew Sweet stamp set. The background was inspired by Jeanne Streiff's MIX challenge on Splitcoaststampers.com last Friday where she asked us to make a background using a die cut as a stencil.

T is For 10 Years of T-Day, Too much food, and The Art (Always the Art)

Hello Friends. Most of today's post is about celebrating 10 years of Elizabeth hosting T-day parties on her blog .  If you have visited me before, you know that I regularily participate in T-day where we all post something about a drink of any type (the drink can be anything including water and the post can be a real drink, words, movies, art, etc.) on Tuesday (or Monday lol) and link it to Elizabeth's T-day blog post for the week.   This year Elizabeth is asking us to post several things in celebration of the big anniversary.   #1.   Post a picture of something that makes the number 10. I used 10 art supplies that were near me.  I am starting to make more Christmas cards so these were right at hand.  #2.   Post our regular T-day picture/post.  My drink picture today is a lunch we had in Tybee Island last week during our Georgia trip.  We ate at Pier 16 .  Great food and service. It was our favorite meal during the trip. ...
