Magnolia Tilda with Inez the Bunny Love Card for LHOSM



Hello sweet readers,

Why does time seem to speed by as we get older? I remember thinking that the minutes and hours were just creeping by. Now, time passes in a blink!

Did you have a nice Valentine's Day? Did your honey give you a special somethin' somethin'? My sweetie was such a romantic. One year, I went to the car to go to work and found the most beautiful heart shaped ruby ring attached to the steering wheel! I was so touched. Another year, and I am NOT bragging, I was stunned, I was give the keys to a new BMW 7 Series (my favorite car). It was the color I had mentioned loving. I named her "Buffy." Buffy served me well for several years until a nitwit in a truck ran a stop sign and broadsided me - totaling Buffy. I was devastated! I loved, loved, loved that car! Any vehicles that came after Buffy just didn't measure up. I would LOVE to know what your best Valentine gift ever was. Would you share below?

Today, I am showcasing my very first card for LHOSM. The theme this month, of course, is

LOVE

Since Valentine's Day has passed, I thought I'd make a card that would work for any time of the year. I chose the colors gray and yellow. The stamp I chose to use is Tilda with Inez the Bunny from the Animals of the Year Collection. I thought she was just too cute! The floral sprays are a Memory Box die. The precious LOVE die was a gift from a sweet cyber friend, so its source is unknown. Tilda was colored with a mixture of Distress Inks and pencils.

Now, it is YOUR turn to join the fun! Simply upload your photo

Sending Love Thinking of You Card



Hello sweet readers,

Last week was VERY exciting for me. I was invited to join two Design Teams! Due to my DH's illness, I could only join one. I would have so loved to join both. But, time is precious and I need so much time to take care of our lives. I chose to join the Lovely Hanglar and Sweet Magnolia Design Team.

I have a card to share with you today. I took little bits of time almost every day. I hope you like it. I didn't want it to necessarily be a Valentine's Day card. I keep asking myself, if it wasn't February, would it look less Valentiney? LOL I wanted it to be for a male and apply to other situations such as thinking of you, miss you, etc.

Here it is:



As you can see, there is no Tilda image! Instead, I focused on really cute die cuts. I just love, love, love that typewrite Doohickey Die! It is so stinkin' cute! The word "LOVE" was a gift from my cyber friend, Tina. The white panel is also a Doohickey die as is the banner on the bottom. The sentiment is computer generated.

Here are the interior shots:





I created the two envelopes on the top panel using matching papers. Gray and red enamel dots, black ribbon, black and white baker's twine, and clay heart finish the top.

The bottom panel has been left open for a personal message.

Does it look too girly?
