Two cards for two dear friends!

**Long post, scroll all the way down for my second card**

Good morning! I have had a rough week. My son has been really sick and has been home the majority of the week. He has a really bad ear infection, which ended up rupturing his eardrum on Tuesday. Talk about scary! :( He's doing better though. Hopefully in 2 weeks when I take him for a check-up, it's healing right.

I made this card the day before I left for CHA. I gave it to Diana.. boy did we sure have a Magnolia-licious Party alright! I cannot even begin to describe how much I enoyed the mini vacation!

I just LOVE these new stamps. Birthday's are all year and I will have no problem grabbing these cuties over and over again to make a card! Do you see the Loving Border coming down under the flowers. I LOVE that corner stamp! This card is for the Just Magnolia Challenge, we have a sketch by Mina and it's a fun one! I hope you will join us this week!

Another Santa Card!

Hello all my wonderful blog readers! I have another card for you, using the Cool Santa and the mini Tilda peeking around. Again I used traditional Holiday colors, aren't you proud!! :P

All of us on the Magnolia-licious design team decided to do a Secret Santa gift exchange. Those are so much fun! My Secret Santa Sister was Cheryl! She made me the cutest snowflake ornaments with different Tildas on them and they are all PINK so they match my tree beautifully! Cheryl you have to let me know where you got the chipboard I need to have a tree full of those ornaments next year! I also got some velvet flowers and little sparkly Jolee flowers. I've used both on my card today. I also got Prima swirlys which I love to use. I believe there were a few more candies too I wonder where those went :) LOL

Here's a photo of all my goodies. I took it with my phone right when I got it so the quality isn't so good, and I didn't think to take another photo.

Thanks so much Cheryl, I'm so lucky.. I love all my goodies!!!

Almost Christmas... are you all ready?! I am!!!!!

A Purple Christmas Card for my Nana!

Just a reminder my day is December 15th for the Magnolia Advent Calendar!

I made this card for a special person in my life, my 91 year old great-grandmother, Nana. We lost our papa, her husband of 74 years. He died the Monday before Thanksgiving. She adores my cards and her face brightens up everytime I give her one. She keeps them on the table next to the chair she sits in all day. I hope I can bring a smile to her face. She's just lost without papa. :( At the funeral I asked her what color Christmas card she wanted she said an Orchid color. She's so elegant! I love her dearly. I need to treasure every moment with her!
