Easel Card Overhaul for Creative Inspirations Easel Card Challenge

Hello my ladies, it is Wednesday,
time for another challenge at
Creative Inspirations,
and as the title indicates,
it's an EASEL CARD challenge, yahoO!!
Quick, what do Michael Jackson and Tilda have in common?
Will it be a nose joke??
She's not wearing one glove, so that can't be it...
Why, it must be those shoes then!!
And R.I.P Michael, or Aruba,
whichever theory you're privy to believing.
Just funny how anytime something BIG
is happening here in American politics,
Michael Jackson pops up,
been touching kids in their no-no's,
dangling babies off a balcony,
turned himself white, for the love of Pete.
It's him, or Brittany Spears.
"Brittany, things are getting hot here in Congress,
we're gonna need you to flash your cooter,
that will take their minds at ease as we
pursue this ever-pointless War on Terror."

Woah woah woah.
I don't do politics.
This is why.

Soooooo, how have you all been? Well, I hope!!
I finished that revamp I eluded to in my last post,
make no mistake about it, I am cheating!!
Using the same project for different samples.
Naughty, I know,
but most of my stuff is still inaccessable
and time has not been on my side either.
Now before I launch into another rant,
let me show you what you're here for:


This is Sweet Tilda coloured in distress inks and glittered with Stickles and Icycle Stickles, she's layered and popped up on foam dots, with her "aura" a lovely shade of Faded Jeans, the delectable papers are from Magnolia as well, not from them, they are FROM Kellie aka Wafflelicious of Tickled Pink Stamps, they are BY Magnolia, phew, it's getting late. That delectable ribbon and bow, oh yumminess, the fabulous Elise sent them my way, as well as some of the flowers you see here, thanks again Sugarplum.


I took some pearls strings and smooshed them ever-so slightly to make flourish-esque shapes and cut off some of those neat Dollar Store sprigs I recently scored and glued some into my little flower pile, the sentiment is a little section of a Penny Black sentiment, the "love" charm is by Blue Moon Beads and the "made with love" heart charm I bought from 7 Kids and I can't remember the name of the company that made them.


Well, thought I should tell you all that I inadvertantly chemically aggravated my sinus passages with oven cleaner, CLR, Comet and Clorox used within a relatively short proximity of time and in a seperate state of affairs, had to take my son to the hospital because he has/had aqcuired a disturbing bacterial infection. Aren't we a fun bunch. So add that to my pile of good times, lol. I apologize for being a crappy blogger, there are many MANY visits that I'd like to make, but find myself without the time to do it right. You know me, a simple, "Nice Card" comment won't suffice. As for me and my chemical joys, well, inhaling houselold cleanserss for hours on end with already irritated sinuses is never a good idea, really, so that is how I am doing... As of about 4 pm today, I was able to walk without weaving and my ears seem like they will stop ringing soon? I hope.

Sooooo, I used this months Magnolialicious sketch, and that about wraps it up. Wow, now that is a waffle!! I hope you all are doing well, I've been running through my Google reader each morning checking out the little snippets of beautiful projects everyone is making and can I just say WOW!!! Lovin' it!! So much Tilda lately!! Who could resist? Certainly not me!! Until next time!!
