Altered Edwin

Welcome to our next challenge here at the Magnolia-licious Birthday Bash!

We always see a lot of Tilda so we thought we should give credit to Edwin too so this challenge we would like to see you use Edwin and alter something ... a clip board, a box, anything that will change the appearance of what it was before you got a hold of it.

Here is what I started with:

I used Pirate Edwin, my Cricut, some ribbon and red and black paper.

Let's see what you create, make Edwin proud!!

New Maggie Easel Card Winner

A very big, but slightly belated, Thank You to all who contributed cards for the BB Challenge #4. All of the easel cards entries are soooo cute. You all have talent to spare. But, I have been instructed to pick a winner so without further ado, drum roll please, NANCY T. #4! Her darling "take" on the easel card by using a jar shape and a Halloween theme was just so unique. We send her big Congratulations!

Again, all the moderators really appreciate your participation. We work hard to keep this great group entertained and enlightened. Kay W

Bling it!

Welcome to the next wave of challenges for the Magnolia-licious Birthday Bash!!

This time we want to see you use some bling in your creation. It can be glitter, rhinestones, etc., anything you have to make it shine!!

So, to start us off here is what I put together for the challenge.

Come and join the birthday celebration!!

BB Challange #4

It is Saturday and so you all know what that means!!!! Yes, another Magnolia challenge to celebrate our second Birthday here at Magnolia-licious. We hope you have enjoyed the activities so far and are ready for today's new challenge.

Since we are celebrating two years of fun and friendship, this challenge involves 2 aspects. For the past 10-12 months Easel cards have been all the rage and many of you have posted that they are your favorite cards to make. AND, we know many of you (well, all of us, really) probably have at least one Magnolia stamp we have purchased and have NEVER used. So we are asking you to pull out that little sweetheart stamp and ink it up....and create a new easel card.

For those of you who have never made an easel card here is a link to a tutorial: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/easelcard This is the perfect opportunity to be come addicted to this fun format.

Upload your entry throughout the week and next Friday we will choose a winner and award a prize.

Happy Stamping,

Kay W

Happy Memorial Day

TGIF! Its been a wonderful week for a birthday celebration. I'm celebrating my new Jungle Tilda. I can't wait to ink her up. I'm thinking about a vacation/travel layout for our family summer trips. Happy Memorial Day as well. We wish all nice weather, good company and great food over the long weekend. I'm looking forward to a piece of blueberry pie.

Magniolia Bingo will be closing tonight at midnight. We've got a few words out there and a few posts to go so hang in there. Challenge #3 will be announced soon so stay tuned. Carpe Diem,

Carlotta

Challenge #2 Tilda and Edwin Play BINGO

Happy 2nd birthday Magnolia-licious. The explosion boxes started the festivities off with bang! So much creativity! I wanted to get the games going.

Tilda and Edwin are going to play bingo with your help. The game is simple. Starting today, frequent the Magnolia-licious group site and files, the MBB blog and my blog at www.iheartscrapbookingink.blogspot.com looking for the "golden words". Don't forget to look in the galleries as well. You never know where one will turn up. Think of it like an Easter Egg hunt.

Keep track of the daily words and plug into the bingo card for Tilda and Edwin, not all words will be on the card though. That would be too easy. When you have bingo, leave a comment on this post including your 5 words, " BINGO", and your e-mail address. You will then be entered into the drawing for the weekly prize. Bingo will be good ol' fashioned 5 across, down or diagonal. None of the fancy stuff.

The Prize for this week is Provided by The Magnolialicious store- a package of flowers; and iheartscrapbookingink- a 3pk of Copics.

Here is an example of what a golden bingo word would look like. Strawberry Tilda. On the blogs the bingo words will be yellow. On any other site they will be in quotation marks. Here is the bingo card. Anyone who is feeling ultra creative is more than welcome to create a card or papercraft utilizing one of the images or techniques found on the bingo grid. Upload and share. Again, Happy Birthday Magnolia-licious, Let us all eat Cake!

I suggest printing the bingo card for reference. LOL and have fun.

Carpe Diem, Carlotta
