Tilda's first day of school...

Can it possibly be the fourth Tuesday of the month ALREADY?!! I believe it IS!! And that means...another fun challenge at Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog! That's right...and our very own talented DT sistah, Maria, has challenged us to create a paper project using this fun photograph as our inspiration...


So, this is how it works...you just look at this fun photo. What jumps out at you? Pink and green? Purses? Leather? Bows? Hmmm...so many fun options...there's no right or wrong...just let the spirit move you, so to speak!! I will admit, I was stumped briefly...then my sweet hubby said, "those are preppy colors." (Now for those of you who don't know what "preppy" means...it's a reference to a style commonly seen in prep schools and colleges in the late '60's and early '70's...like boat shoes, argyle sweaters, pink and green, loafers without socks...etc.) So...with my hubby's help, here's what I came up with....


I chose to go with pink and green...and bows...and clearly, this adorable little Tilda is ready for her first day at prep school!! hehehe! OK...I know...it's a stretch! But I really love this little Tilda...she was one of my very FIRST Tildas! I love her short hair...so, so cute!! Her name is "Tilda with pencils"... and you can find her...along with about kabillion other delightfully adorable Tilda & Edwin stamps at Diana's Magnolia-licious online store, my store for all things Magnolia!!


I used Very Vanilla, Blushing Bride, and Wild Wasabi cardstock from Stampin' Up. DPs and pearls are from my stash. That luscious ribbon is from Stampin' Up too...it's also Wild Wasabi! I used a Marianne's Creatables die for those cute little leaves....love these! The sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps...and the corner embellishment and yummilicious roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts! Here's a peek at the inside...

Now, my crafty friends, you know what comes next, right? It's time for you to pop on over to Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog and see what Maria and the rest of my amazingly talented Design Teamies have created for inspiration. Then...you'll want to join in the fun by making and entering your own creation into this month's Magnolia-licious Inspiration Challenge. Remember, one lucky participant (selected at random) will win a $25.00 gift voucher for a Magnolia-licious Shopping Spree!! Who knows...that lucky person could be YOU!!!

And...that's it for me!! Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit...and for leaving such sweet comments. They truly make my day! Maggie hugs...until next time....
