Daily Notes

I skiped last weeks Ismaki Challenge cause I just had no ideas.. this weeks was again a real challenge for me :-) no way I was skipping the sketch. So I really sat down and moved my elements on the card. The second flower on the upper right corner was replaced using a swirl i got from Donalda. I used on purpose one of the older style Magnolia's just because i thought they should not be forgotten. I omitted on her hat the little "ball" so it would not look more springy rather than a winter hat.
Stamps: Magnolia Tilda in wind (Fall Collection 2007) and tag
Sentiment: Stampin up "Office Attrouncement"
CS/Designer Paper: Creamy Caramel, Apricot Appeal, Mellow Moss, Chocolate Chip, Cameo Coral,
Tools: Stampin up stiching template, Martha Stewart lace punch
Embellishments: Magnolia "Prima Flowers", Pearl stickers, brown button
