Je ne suis pas fan des cartes d'Halloween, je ne sais pas quoi faire avec!  La carte est très simple, une étiquette et une petite boucle.
I coloured Tilda and Edwin with Copics.

Stork delivery at Marvelous Magnolia

Hello,
It's Thursday and time for a new challenge at Marvelous Magnolia.  The theme is an easy one:
Anything Goes
Bonjour,
C'est jeudi et temps pour un nouveau défi chez Marvelous Magnolia.  Le thème est facile:
Tout Va
I got a wonderful gift from my great friend Céline.  She sent me a box of Maja Design patterned papers!  I had shivers cutting into them, lol!!!  I finished the card with some WOC flowers, a doily, some butterflies, lace and some die cuts.
J'ai reçu un cadeau merveilleux de ma très bonne amie Céline.  Elle m'a envoyé une boitatout remplie de papier à motif de Maja Design.  Je tremblais en les coupant, *rire*!!!  J'ai fini la carte avec des fleurs de WOC, un napperon, des papillons, de la dentelle et des pochoirs.
I coloured Delivery from Heaven with Copics and added Frantage.  I didn't colour the ribbon on the baby yet, I'm waiting to know if it's gonna be a boy or girl.
J'ai colorié la cigogne avec mes Copics et ajouté du Frantage.  Je n'ai pas colorié le ruban sur la tête du bébé, j'attends pour savoir si c'est un garçon ou un fillette. 

Cigogne/Stork W5-3-1-00-CB-R20-30, Ruban/Ribbon RV99-95-93-91, Orange E18-15-38-35-32, Couverte/Blanket BG96-93-90, Peau/Skin E13-11-00-000.
My friend Danielle always has great ideas and she told me about making buttons with hot glue.  So while I was talking to her on Skype, I made that button!  I finished by airbrushing it with my Copics for some colour.
Mon amie Danielle a toujours des idées merveilleuse et elle m'a parlé de boutons faits avec de la colle chaude.  Je me suis mis à l'oeuvre et pendant que je lui parlais sur Skype, j'en ai fait un!  J'ai fini par une couche de Copic avec mon airbrush.
The bow is thanks to my new Bow-it-All.  It works great!!!!

Tilda with Snow Heart at Marvelous Magnolia

Hello,
Welcome to another challenge at Marvellous Magnolia.  The theme is an easy one:
Christmas!
Bonjour,
Bienvenu à un autre défi chez Marvellous Magnolia.  Le thème est facile:
Noël!
All the wonderful papers are from a kit I got last year from France.  My good friend Céline is the one who made it for a store!  I added a couple a ticket sentiment from LOTV, some gems and the snowflakes that came with the kit.
Tous les beaux papiers viennent d'un ensemble qui vient de France.  Mon amie Céline est celle qui l'a fait pour un magasin!  J'ai ajouté des étiquettes de LOTV, quelques pierres et des flocons qui parviennent du kit.
I coloured Tilda with Snow Heart and the Winter Fence with my Copics.  I added Stickles for sparkle.  I add so much trouble trying to match the blue of the paper with her scarf!  I'm happy with the end result, I think that they work together.
J'ai colorié Tilda et la clôture avec mes Copics.  J'ai ajouté du Stickles pour le brillant.  J'ai eu beaucoup de misère à assortir le bleu du papier avec son foulard!  Je suis contente du résultat final, je crois qu'ils vont bien ensemble.

Anything Goes!
Bonjour,
Merci de vous joindre à nous pour le nouveau défi de Marvelous Magnolia.  Le thème cette semaine est:
Tout va!
I made another perpetual calendar.  This one was an order for a little baby boy.  My friend wanted me to add a monkey and I thought that this cutie was perfect!  I made the dice with clay and then stamped the numbers on it.  The hardware is from Tim Holtz and I cut the grass with my Cricut.
J'ai fait un autre calendrier perpétuel.  Celui-ci est une commande pour un petit bébé.  Mon amie voulait que j'ajoute un singe et je trouvais celui-ci parfait.  J'ai fait les dés avec de l'argile et puis j'ai estampé les chiffres.  Les poignées sont de Tim Holtz et j'ai coupé le gazon avec ma Cricut.

I coloured Baby Edwin with my Copics.  I made the rocks once again with clay.  I think that they look real, what do you think?
J'ai colorié bébé Edwin avec mes Copics.  J'ai fait les roches avec de l'argile encore une fois.  Je crois qu'elles ont l'air vrai, qu'en pensez vous?
And here's the little monkey.  I cut the inside of the letter out to put the months.  I added the name made with my Cricut.
Et voici le petit singe.  J'ai découpé le dedans de la lettre pour mettre les mois.  J'ai ajouté le nom fait avec ma Cricut.
