Playing Like A Champion!!!!!

Where there's a will there's a way lol!!!

Hey guys welcome  and I'm so happy to say I'm baaaack lol!!!

Oh I miss my DT sistas from all my teams sigh...I feel so bad that couple of my projects didn't get to participate on challenges and in special events but LOTS more will come and I'll get a chance to play this time.

Anyways welcome to the monthly Magnolia-licious Blog Hop, whoot  whoot!

If your coming from my talented friend Janiel than you're right on :)

We have a gorgeous line up with so much eye candy so if you want to play along. You could start at the Magnolia-licious Highlities blog! 

I hope you like what I created :)

Honestly it just reminded me of my oldest little one...sigh...Oh did she get a beaten this year. You see many of her teammies from her High School soccer team had injuries or there was always something wrong with one of them lol! (poor team) LOL!

so the team was either short or had no bench for subs. My baby started the season on top playing foward then was moved to center Mid and from there GOALIE!!!! Ummm yeah GOALIE!!!!LOL!!

I know she is a good athlete and all but I felt sooo sooo bad for her. The last game she played was...goalie and to tell you the final score was 8-0 :(

BUT let me tell you how BEYOND PROUD we, the fans,the other teams COACHES and other parents were of her. 

I mean she flew, she dove, she slapped(accidentally) but she gave it her all!!!

I know she wanted to  play her last game as her position but she took one for the team as their TWO goalies were out for the season due to injuries sigh.... 

I am very proud of her and what actually cheered her up on her last game. Was all the motivational comments she was getting from the opposite team!!! 

At one point my husband was close to a group of people and they so happen to be talking about Krystalyn (DD) that if It weren't for the goalie  the score would of been crazy high and also how good she was playing!!! 

My husband turned and said that's my daughter with a big smile lol! He explained to them that it was her very first time at goalie and  boy were they in denial of the whole ordeal, lol!

Proud of you KRYSTALYN((SNIFF SNIFF))

Ok enough of my waffling ... sorry guys just a proud mama right now.

You could say Krystalyn inspired me with my card today even though it's not for her lol! she doesn't take care of my cards so she'll get a tag later on for her duffle bag,shhhh :)

Here are a few pixs of my card and I'm adding a few pixs of Krystalyn's last game too :)

lol! Shoes inspired by DD'S shoes too lol!

You could find all these stamps available now at the Magnolia-licious store.

I used

 #3046 Soccer Tilda,

#513 Banner,

#544 Goal Background and since I didn't have soccer Edwin which would of gone great! Instead I used #275 Tilda with Lace Jeans from Butterfly Dreams 2011 Collection. 

I know she's not ready but she was invited unexpectedly and couldn't resist :) poor angel is awfully tired.

***********************************

Now for just a few pictures of her playing goalie

 and that would be her on the floor with the yellow shirt

 her kicking it out

and she's getting ready for a corner kick

I had more pictures but I have them on her cell phone sorry guys lol! Anyways that's enough of my waffling and I held you hostage here more than enough :)

I hope you like my card and perhaps give you some ideas how to use the Winner takes All 2011 Collection.

Ok now it's time to jump on my friend Cabio's blog and get a hold of what this smarty pants did lol!

ENJOY!!

NEW WINNER!!!!!!

All righty ......ok firstly let me say I apologise for not announcing the winner on Friday.I have a busy schedule with my family and as well with my DT'S :)

Ok I feel so bad that my winner didn't appear??? I'm so sorry but I have to pick a new winner((pouting))

HIYA friends!

Ok so welcome to my blog and you just found yourself in our monthly Magnolia-licious Highlities blog hop.If you came from the talented and my friend Sharon's blog than you're right on track! 

I'm sure you had yourself a good eye candy there huh!

Ok so I did this a while back and was holding off to show it to you guys. I just thought it went well with the theme so here it is. I created another basket for my other daughter, Lauren. 

Sophia took over the first basket I did a while back and you could find it HERE.

I had Lauren pick the image to her liking from my Magnolia stash and she picked a winter image, LOL!

I said ok ok let's see what we can do :)

so here you have it..all coloured with my copics and yes this is another 

Dena basket too, WHOOHOOO, 2 in a year!

You could find this cutie named Tilda with Hellebores from the 2011 Sweet Xmas Dreams Collection at the Magnolia-licious store. I don't see her in regular size but she is in mini :)

Here is a close up of her

this is the back of the basket

and one more close up of Tilda.

Here are my girls on Easter Sunday with their MOMMY made baskets... FINALLY I COULD SHARE :)

I did their headbands too! Lots of WOC FLOWERS :)

Here is Sophia cracking up because her sister has an ant crawling on her dress. Lauren is freakin out and instead of her sister helping her, she's LAUGHING!!!

Sophie above is wearing a pastel pink dress and Lauren a light skyblue dress. I coordinated the headbands so they could compliment each other :)

Ok that's it for now and now to send you along to my talented friend Suzanne for some more luscious lace ideas.

I hope you enjoyed my creation and I'll be back soon to show a little some some I've been working on :)

Magnolia Bebe Gift present

Hi peeps!!!

Well I finally got here to share my latest. The Magnolia-licious highlities team has another challenge theme for you this time around.

Oh and guess who is the host this month.....MUA lol! and I'm late BAAAHAAA! I have a good excuse and I paid the price trust me lol! 

Too long of a story but it started with a April fool's prank and KARMA is a beep beep beeeeeeep.....

ugh! I don't think I will be doing any more of these pranks lol!!!!

put it this way I GOT THEM GUUUUUDDD (my family specially my hubbie) but my creation got ruined and I had to start my card over lmbo!!!!! ok that's all I'm saying baaahaaa!!

ANYWAYS!!!! back to the creation.

What I want to see is baby projects/or Baby gift sets

this gives us the chance to play with the latest release, Magnolia  Princes & Princesses 2012

I created a basket out of a beverage holder that I nicely requested when I went to buy myself a single cup of coffee at my local gas station LOL! I got a weird look but ack . I had seen someone walked out with one and I immediately said, UUHHHH! So anyways I altered it with pretty paper, put a sturdy cardboard base at the bottom and filled it with two baby blankets, some baby detergent and a Baby Pamolive dish soap(for baby bottles I assume)?? I guess that's new never seen it before, lol!? I laid some clothes pins around the basket that I picked up at M's for .30 a package of 4 !!!!!! I think I should get more right?!!

I'm showcasing #201 Baby Tilda on the front and #3052 Tilda w/Blue Blanket on the tag which I don't see her available now but the mini is HERE at a special price in a duo set.

This is #251 Tilda's Family and I'll be colouring this one again soon. 

All these stamps can be found at the Magnolia-licious store. If you don't happen to see it. I suggest looking for the mini duos.

If not you could always shoot Diana Crick an email and see when would they be available :)

 The charm on the bow says" It's a Girl "

close up of the cute Tilda with blue Blanket. Just that this blanket is light purple :)

this is the back side of the set and I just left that note hanging so the tag could be used as a special note.

that's blanket #2

ok that's it for now. 

SOOOO we want to see all baby stuff... so skies the limit. 

Ok now if you want to get some more eye candy well please head to the 

Magnolia-licious Highlities Challenge blog to see what my DT SISTA'S have created.

Now If I don't come back before the weekend ends. HAVE YOURSELF A HAPPY EASTER!!!

Dreaming Big Summer Days

Hi me again :)

Ok I'm back .....LOL!!! OK WHO'S TIRED OF ME ALREADY LOL!

Because I'm getting tired of myself whooof!!!! lol!

Ok I'll be taking a few days off like....2 days lol! In the meanwhile let me tell you it's time for another challenge at Little Darlings!

The theme this time around is "Outdoors" so I did do a last minute change of plans ... explains why I'm a day late lol! 

I was still in the zone of the MIC challenge.."creating movement" so I decided to try it on another image and when I saw this chickie I knew she was gonna be perfect.

oh I just love her big smile and her hair flowing back. I don't know about you but just looking at her makes me feel happy and simply smile. 

This image is called"Just Swingin" and you could find her at the Little Darlings store HERE.

Everything is coloured with copics on MIC Blending card. 

I also embellished the card using the gorgeous MIC Laser Butterfly Swirls corners and Butterfly Leaves chipboard.

Ok so if you want to play with us this fortnight come on down and let's see your Outdoor translation.

I know my summer days are full of parties and barbies(BARB-Q'S), omg!! I'm already tired of just thinking of it lol!
