Magnolia Down Under Challenge #96

These are a few of my favourite things..... as the song goes...  hahah this week, at Magnolia Down Under we want you to use:

Your Favourite Things....

I loved the sound of this challenge so I decided to play along too, so for my favourite things, I have used a bunch!! hahah My favourite type of card fold, flowers, papers and dies... oh and my Magnolia Stamp is a favourite too, but then they all are!!  So here is my card, I really love it, so I hope you do too!!


Ok, so I've made a gate fold!!  I do love this fold, even though I don't use it that often... I've also used my favourite, Graphic 45 Papers - Springtime, I've used Doo Hickey's and Martha Stewart Punches, Whimsy Postal Stamp and Die, Prima Lace, Atyou Spica Pen and a heap of Stickles!! so this is the card unfolded....


Here is a better look at the center panel - I used the wee mini Tilda from the Fairytale collection... isn't she so cute??


Here is the Whimsy Postal Stamp Greeting and then I chopped it out using the matching Post Die... it goes so well with my papers don't you think?


This one has the Tag which I stamped with the Especially for you and again with mini Tilda.... I've popped on some pink seam binding and secured with some Whiff of Joy Button Twine - another of my favourite things!!


On this one you can see Bubbling Tilda's Sparkly bits!!  I think I did well to get a picture of this!! heheheh and you can see also where I have popped on some glossy accents to the bubbles!! It looks really awesome in real life!


I popped my postage stamp a little sideways and on the fold so when you open the card it looks like this!!


WOW, Lots of pic's!! heheheh  So I have found a few challenges I would love to enter my card into and they are:
