Tilda NO CARD challenge and my CANDY WINNERS!

The Tilda Challenge this week was NO CARD. Huh?? No really no cards, to make something with a Magnolia Stamp that is not a card. Well I had something sitting on my desk that I just purchased this weekend that I planned to decorate with my Magnolia stamps. Worked out wonderful!

Now a little bit about what I worked on. This "thing", a stamp keeper, is from a company called Little Monkeys. I have to admit I was shown one of these more than a year ago at a crop. The sister of the lady who came up with this stamp keeper had one and I looked at it and I will be honest, thought nice but I don't think that would ever work for me. I mean I have all my unmounted stamps in CD cases, I just don't need it. Well I have now a lot more CD cases than I want to admit to. And I have come to a problem that some just don't fit into the cases, or only one or two fit in a case. My Magnolia's have become a very large collection of CDs, with a couple sitting out not fitting. Well I have been reading more and more about this system, and my Local Scrapbook Store The Scrapbook Corral (hi Amy!) has some in stock, so I decided to give them a try. Ok, I had to add a few more inserts than came with it, but they all fit in one box! With lots of growing room!!! And let me tell you I have lots of Magnolias already. (For more info on the stamp keeper please click Little Monkeys above.)

So I decided I would create a scene to put on the front of the box and it will sit on my desk right in front of me. I colored all the images with Copic Markers, cut them out and then placed them on a piece of Heidi Grace pattern paper with flocked clouds. Love Love Love this paper! I started to put ribbon and more frilly things on it, then decided that this was a working storage system so I needed to keep it simply and just attached on the front. I am so happy with it, and I emptied more than 18 CDs! Growing room now on my CD rack! Hope they like it on the Tilda and Co. Challenge Blog.

Ok, because I had soooo many hits and 180 people comment I decided that I would give the main prize and I will put together two little surprises for two runner ups. I thank each of you for taking the time to visit my blog, and shooting me not only over the 5000 mark, but I am now over the 7500 mark! I will do another Candy at 10,000! Just seems right and so fun! Feels like Santa Claus, I love giving away some of my favorite products! Ok... I'll announce now before I loose you!
