Blog Candy

My friend and an awesome Copic instructor is also the one who got me to love doing my own finger nails and to give up nail appointements for life!  She introduced me to the Konad Nail Art  System sold at OC Nails.  Check out Dainielle's blog at http://fundamentalchange.blogspot.com/ and see the free blog candy she is giving away.  Here are pics of some of the blog candy gifts

I think she mentioned a couple of more goodies so make sure you read her blog post.!

Spring Is Here

 I have a couple of cards to share with you, made with the adorable Magnolia Tilda Stamps.  You can find these stamps at our store http://www.shop.scrapologyaz.com/.   The first card is the one I am entering in the Magnolia-licious Easter-Spring Extravaganza Contest. I just love her barfeet.

Copics:  E000, E00, E53, E25, E49, E59, G07, G09, G19, B21, B24, B29, Y0000, Y000,Y04, Y08, RV10, RV11, RV14  I used Spellbinders Label Four for my Die cut.

I has been beautiful in Arizona the past couple of weeks.  The temps have been in the high 70's and even hit the high 80's and one day in the 90's already.  Now, yesterday we had a storm come in and dump rain on us most of the day and evening and the temps dropped into the mid 60's.  What the heck is that all about.  Oh we got to love the cool weather and rain while we can.  It will soon be HOT HOT HOT and DRY and we will be thinking about these couple of cool days we had in March.

I am sharing a 20 x 20 garden with my neighbor at Agritopia.  It has been a lot of fun planning and getting it set up.  I think I will post a layout I did of the Garden too.

It's February

Wow February is coming in like a Lion weather wise.  It is suppose to be 29 degrees tonight and cold for the next few days. So far my tomatoes have made it but tonight will be a challenge.  It is still considered balmy compared to what is happening in the rest of the Country!

Over at our store www.scrapologyaz.com, we have been pre ordering lots of the new items coming out in the next month as soon as everyone recovers from CHA!  I can not wait to see some of the new things we have ordered coming into the store.  Look for new Spellbinders both the regular size and the big ones for the Grand Caliber.  The Spellbinders Grand Caliber has been flying off our shelves.  I love that you can use a full 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of card stock without cutting it down.  SWEET!  It still cuts the regular size dies.  Make sure you check it out. I love it's pretty color of Cherry Red.  Here are some of the products we have or are going to receive in the next couple of weeks in our store.

And finally here is a new Valentines Card of Course it is a Magnolia Tilda, and colored with Copics.

  Copics, oh I forgot to tell you.  They have come out with 12 new colors and here they are.

Check our store because our Copics are arriving by the dozens.  We are loading them up as quickly as we can!   Stay Warm.  I hope all my East Coast friends are safe and warm.  Hugs!

Happy New Year!

It is 2011 and I hope it will be the best year ever for everyone!

I am starting off with my first card of the New Year.  She is the adorable Magnolia Stamp, Tilda With Cherries.  I used the beautiful apple green crepe ribbon availabe at our store http://www.shop.scrapologyaz.com/.  The papers I used are Bazzil cardstock and the new Valentine paper from Doodlebug Design.  Spellbinders were used for the mat and the stamped image.  I used Bazzil Diamond Bling for the base of the card. 

After I die cut out the stamped image I left the die around the white card stock.   I made a cutter file of the image on my Klic N Kut and then applied it to the top of the colored image as a mask. I then used my airbrush compressor and my Copic Sketch RV02 to airbush in the background.  I have made the Cutter files for all the stamps in our store and I have them for your use for every stamp you purchase from http://www.shop.scrapologyaz.com/.  Here are some pictures to show the process of using a mask.

I stamped the image on Xpress Blender card and used Copic Sketch markers to color in the image.  The receipe is: 

RV 0000,02,04,06,10, R 20,46  E000,00,01,02  N1,3,5  E33,37,99, Y32

Magnolia Pink Green and Blue Challenge

This is the card I made for the Pink Green and Blue Challenge at  http://magnolia-liciouschallengeblog.blogspot.com/.  I bought a silver snowflake at the Dollar Store, 10 in a box for a dollar, what a deal!  Using my Copic airbrush compressor and Copic Sketch RV06 I changed the color of the snowflake to pink.  It turned out great!  I used crepe ribbon from our store http://www.shop.scrapologyaz.com/.  The Magnolia stamp is called "All Wrapped Up Tilda".  This is one of my favortie Tilda Stamps.

So here is my Copic marker recipe
Hair: E29, E17, E13 and Y32
Skin:  E21, E00, E000 and the cheek bluse is R83  
The Blues I used are:  B02, B01, B0000
and the Pinks are:  RV06, RV04, RV02 and RV0000. And I just had to add a bit more bling so I decorated the pink bow with Pink Stickles. 

This is probably the last card I will be making before Christmas so....Merry Christmas to all of you and Blessings on your family for a Wonderful Christmas.  I hope you all get Copics and Maggies in your stockings!

Cookie Boxes with Tilda

I am working on Cookie Boxes as gifts for my neighbors this year.  Here is one that I have finished.  The Tilda is a Magnolia Stamp (you can find it in my store at http://www.shop.scrapologyaz.com/) called Tilda with gifts.

I colored the Tilda with Copic markers.  If you love the idea of a Copic Marker Club where you do not have to out lay a lot of money at one time check out the store blog at http://www.scrapologyaz.com/ and you can read what we have to offer starting in January, but sign ups are already beginning and will end December 15,2010..

I think they are going to make sweet gifts once filled with homemade cookies don't you?  Oh I should have posted that I cut the cookie boxes with my Klic N Kut and this is a pattern that was traced from a Martha Stewart Cookie box about three years ago.




I took pictures of the copics I used to color this image it is easier for me so consider this the "cheater" recipe

Tulle Tilda Christmas Card

I made my first Christmas card this year.  I am actually making it to post to my store's blog in December but decided to sneak peak it here.

I used a Magnolia stamp #210 Tulle Skirt Tilda.  I placed her on a Spellbindercircle and popped it all up on pop dots.  I used a Spellbinder snow flake and an American craft jewel brad.  I colored Tilda withcopics and used Stickles to add bling.  The cardstock I choose is Bazzil Bling Diamond and it is embossed with a Cuttlebug folder.  Glass glitter is used to add some sparkle and the font for "dreaming of a white Christmas" is called Kingsthings.
