Diploma Graduation Tilda for LHOSM Anything Goes Challenge



Happy May, Sweet Readers,

I'm writing this early so I don't forget to write it! LOL This weekend, I have our son and sweet angel granddaughter with us. Oh, it is so wonderful to have them visit. Little One will be three in 2 1/2 months, and is she sharp. By three, her Daddy was already reading on his own; however Miss Eleanor (AKA Princess Puddlepants) knows her colors, shapes, numbers, and can count to 30. I am so proud of her! She had hearing issues early on that affected her verbal and auditory development. After having surgery, she is all caught up, and her verbal ability, as well as her hearing ability, are right where they should be! Bless her heart! I just love her!

This month's challenge at LHOSM is

Anything Goes


Today, I would like to share a lovely graduation card with you featuring Diploma Tilda. Here she is:



For this card, I've used Maja Design Sofiero papers, Magnolia Medical Doohickey Dies, lace, doilies, imported flowers, inking, assorted other dies, and a 2018 graduation charm.

Here is a shot of the interior:

Roller Coaster Card w/ Magnolia Tildas



Hello sweet readers,

Happy May! I'm not going to chat today as I've been up all night and am exhausted as well as having blurry eyes!

Today, I have a fun card to share with you. I fell in love with the Magnolia Field Trip Collection and knew there were ideas that would make for fun cards. This is my first from the collection. It featured two Tilda stamps.



After creating the tree on the left, I added enamel dots to give dimension. The tree on the right is a composite of two different Magnolia tree dies blended to make a new tree. One of the trees is the fruit tree die. I don't know the name of the other one. The flowers are from the Garden Doohickey themed box. The fence is another doohickey from long ago. The background scene has been watercolored and is from a stamp that is ages old. I added lots of pop dots, glitter, rhinestones, and enamel dots.

Here is a photo of the interior:



The roller coaster creation involved printing out the pattern, cutting, scoring, and folding. For the interior, I wanted to carry the theme by using the Tilda in a roller coaster car. She's so cute! The clouds are both Magnolia nnd Memory Box.
