Easter Chicken Tilda Purse Treat Holder

Hiya, Yes, I know I've been posting quite a few Easter projects lately, but I can't help it as there are so many cute Easter/Springy images, therefore, here is another related theme project. Today's project is an altered purse. My stamp is the Chicken Tilda from Magnolia-licious. However, it is out of stock right now, but the Mini Chicken Tilda is still available if you are doing a small one (will make great little Easter goodies to fill up with jelly beans).

Also, a reminder to those Magnolia fans out there that there are still time for you to enter the Easter-Spring Extravaganza Contest over at Magnolia-licious Highlites Challenge Blog. Don't forget to check out how to participate the challenge for chances to win $150, $75, or $25 Gift Certificates from Magnolia-licious Store.

Scrapbook Expo pictures sharing

Good morning everyone. I've been MIA for a while as many of you know that I was off for a short holiday visiting my sisters in San Francisco in the States. During this time, I also attended the Scrapbook Expo in Pleasanton in California. Today's post I would like to share you some of the pictures I took at the event. Thank you for my niece VIVIAN who drove me there and the great thing was that I got to meet MAYLEE. Maylee and I were in the same design team for over a year. Although we talked a lot in the cyper world and found we had so many things in common, but we never met. It was so great we finally got to meet each other in person at the Scrapbook Expo. Thank sis :o)

Here is a picture of MAYLEE and I at the Scrapbook Expo


Here are some of the pictures I took during this event. See how happy I was? and my lovely niece Vivian (right), who drove me all the way to Pleasanton from San Francisco.

Here are some samples from the Spellbinders products.

Here are some more pictures of the event.

Here are the pictures showing you some of the products I bought during this Expo.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. I am going to sharing more projects with you soon :o)

CAS Easter Tilda Shaving Cream Technique & Blog Candy

Good morning everyone and yes I am back home from my short time off. Since I just got back, I was so busy doing laundry. Can't believe that I still have OMG over 300+ emails to go through. Therefore, if I haven't come to visit your blog yet, I will eventually in the next few days/weeks as I will be doing some emails catch up after work tomorrow.

I can't believe that March is ending so soon and April is coming up in just a few days. That means Easter is coming up just weeks away. Besides sharing my card today, I also put a mini blog candy for a winner to grab. Please scroll down for details. I will have more blog candy coming up, so please stay tune.

Today's card I used the one of the older Bunny Tilda image I got a while ago from Magnolia-licious. Basically, this is a card I made with the shaving cream technique. I used up all my husband's left over shaving cream and did a background with glossy paper. On the background piece, I also stamps some flower images on that glossy paper.

I am also using this card for the following challenges:
Creative Cowgirls Challenge - Spring/Easter
Just Magnolia Week #99 - Bingo (Gems, Flowers, Ribbon)
CI Paint Challenge - Flowers
Crafts and Me Challenge #27 - Anything goes
Sugar Creek Hollow Challenge - Stitching
Crafty Creations Challenge #11 - In stitches
A Spoon Full of Sugar Challenge #145 - Easter

Here is my finished card

Love the soft colors of the above picture. After seeing these eggs, I came up with a card using Tilda with Flower in Her Hair with a combination of the Magnolia Doohicky Die and Nestibilities Oval dies. I tried to use some softer colors to match up with the Easter eggs.

Here is a closer view of this cute image

Easter-Spring Extravaganza Blog Hop

Good morning to all my fellow crafty friends!! Welcome to the Easter-Spring Extravaganza Contest Blog Hop.

If you have hopped here from the talented BARB'S BLOG, you are in the right track. If not, you may want to go back to ANGIE'S BLOG to start this hop.

This hop is for the Easter-Spring Extravaganza Contest. Contest is open until April 19th at 11:00 PM EST. Make sure to check the rules over at the Magnolia-licious Highlites website or scroll down to the bottom of this post for details.

I am so excited to be able to join this blog hop with the regular Magnolia-licious Designer Team Members. For this hop, I made an Easter card and hope this will give you some inspirations. This time, instead of colored the image using my favorite Copic markers, I colored it using the Prismacolor Pencils. To be honest with you, this is my first time using the Prismacolor pencils. I bought the box of 48 pencils and used them with the Gamsol odorless mineral spirit for blending with paper stump to color this Little Bunny Tilda image purchased from Magnolia-licious.

First I cut a circle ring and wrapped it with some ribbon and laid Tilda down as she sits inside the ring, then I spread the flowers around this ring. (the color is more close to the pink scheme, because I took this picture under the yellow light bulb and it look more to the brownish scheme.) You can see her correct color on the pictures further down of this post.

Here is my finished card.

Closer view on the colored image and closer view on the embossed shape spread on the left of this card.
