Love is in the Chocolates!

I don't know about you, but chocolate is my best friend and my worst enemy at times. However, I love it nonetheless. If I receive a box of chocolates, I have to scope out the caramel ones first. The last ones to be eaten are the cordial cherry ones...YUCK!! In fact, they will get eaten by someone else!

This Magnolia card is another one made from the images that I colored last weekend. It's fun to have an image already to go when you sit down to put a card together. Being that I seem to have more paper than a well-stocked scrapbook store, there is no worries about finding some to "match"! I did, however, use scraps from the Sweet Talk line from K&Company. It's a use your scraps weekend, so dig them out and use them!

Roses on Paper #30 - sketch

A Whiff, A Copic, and a Stamp for the Weekend!!

Happy Thursday evening, y'all!! Methinks you have been seeing a lot of me lately! I guess that my crafty side has been rejuvenated. I can't seem to tear myself away from the craft room, and I have been doing challenges like a crazy woman. They really do tap into things in both my brain and my craft room that I forgot were there!!


The card today is actually for three challenges:

Copic Colour Challenge #48 - G21, B45, R85
Whiff of Joy Challenge #63 - a Whiff of Joy stamp and 3 patterned papers, 2 blings, and 1 flower
Stampin' For the Weekend Fiona's Sketch (seen below)

I actually used a paper pack that I had picked up at Tuesday Morning to do this sketch! Sometimes, I just love those huge packs with all of the coordinating papers, and they seemed to complement the Copics that I used. The best part was that it was a smokin' deal!! That is even better. However, my craft room seems to be filled with smokin' deals...they add up after a while (bows head in shame).

Card Details:

Stamps: Melinda Blowing Kisses by Whiff of Joy
Paper: atd Serendipity (not sure of manufacturer); Chocolate Chip by Stampin' Up
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
