Hi & hello!
A quickie post as we are sanding, painting and priming rooms today in OUR NEW HOME! That's right we bought our first home - it is so exciting and scary at the same time as there is so much to do. I have more news but I can't reveal it just yet (this is not big nor too exciting for anyone but me but I will share eventually anyway lol) :)
So onto the fun stuff -the July Magnolia-Licious sketch is up and running. This month my sweet and most talented DT sister Jacque made a lovely layered sketch full of details.
For such a sweet, feminine sketch I decided to use Valentine Tilda sitting on the Swirl Key image, both from the Magnolia-Licious store.
The images were colored with my usual Copic markers, then mounted on Basic Grey Porcelain patterned paper background with chipoard accents also by BasicGrey.
The colored pearls are by K&Co.
This little card will be headed out to my Magnolia-Licious Yahoo group sister. Each month the group sends one card to a fellow group member. We also get fabulous store discounts and little treats when ordering so be sure to join if you haven't yet already :)
Thank you so much for stoppin' by. Have a creative and happy Sunday friends!

Congratulations Suzy on the purchase of your new home. I can identify with the exciting and scary parts. Just know that everything will be fine, and ten years from now you will look back at your decision as one of the best you have ever made as a couple. I also hope you have a great studio and play area in the plans. That has to be the exciting part. I hope you share lots of pictures with us, both of the before and the after. Congratulations again.
