Here Comes Summer - Magnolia-licious Challenge for May

Welcome again to my blog.

It's the first of May (already!) and at Magnolia-licious Highlites that means a new challenge for the month.

This month we're getting ready for summer, and in my part of the country it's pretty much arrived, though not with the intensity of last year's drought!

We're celebrating the coming of summer with a color challenge. Yellow, orange and blue! The design team has come up with such a variety of ideas for your viewing pleasure, please drop by Magnolia-licious Highlites challenge blog and see what every one has done...

I decided that Edwin needed a little ink! Poor guy, seems like Tilda gets all the attention, but hey, he's a handsome and very cool dude so I found some cool dude dp's at my LSS and got busy making this card. I have used #103 Cool Edwin and paired him with #489 Jungle Sign. I also used #609 Shooting Stars. Whooop-dee-do! Edwin and the Stars border are available. Edwin is available in both the regular size and the Mini at Magnolia-licious Stamps. I'm sorry to say the the Jungle Sign isn't showing up in the store at the moment, so you might want to inquire of Diana when that might be available again. You've got to go over and see her awesome collection of stamps and also check out all the wonderful sales that she has running.

Here is the front of my card...



A closer look at "the dude"...
