A little sunshine...

Hi friends, I have just a very few moments to share with you. I was busy working on a few projects before my dh became ill, and I wanted to share some of them with you.

Diana has asked the DT to make her some card fronts using Magnolia Mini World images, and I got right to town. What I didn't understand was that we can't use any of the Alota images, a conflict of interest at CHA. So when I have the time and energy to do a little more crafting, I will be making some for her with only the Mini images.

Here are a couple I made...

This is the first one and I used the Alota Boat with #156 Pirate Edwin and #230 Pirate Tilda. These are both available from Diana at the Magnolia-licious store.






This next card uses two Mini images. #656 Summer Background Fairytale and #3031 Tilda as a Shepherd.



Thanks for visiting my blog for a little eye candy this time. There will be more to follow as I can squeeze a few minutes to myself in...

Hugs,
Barb

  14. Your cards are really nice, I love the pirates and the hearts together. I never thought about putting a Tilda outside of the background like that and your card looks great. I might try that/ I am praying for you especially as you need to take care of your husband and the kids. I am also praying for your husbands healing. Happy Easter.
