Stampsmith DT - Bring out the star in you!

Well here's Marilyn who was definitely a star.   The background paper is Webster's Pages with flowers from Prima.  The cardstock and the flowers have been edged with Golden Rod Stickles.  Although I swore I would never own anything Magnolia the tag is one of their DooHickey dies (what a name! LOL) and it's very cute.

Ooh, gorgeous, Carol. Love the white theme and I have to admit that the tag is lovely - despite vowing the same as you did - I'm tempted, lol. Love the pearls - a lovely finishing touch, giving the feel of Hollywood and lavishness.

Haha! I know what you mean about Magnolia (I gave in 'cos I have 2 little granddaughters or at least that's my excuse,Lol). Your lovely tag works perfectly on this gorgeous hanging though. Beautiful colours.

Sold your soul to Magnolia heeyyyyyy lol....it'll be peel offs on the corners next before we can say Doo-Hicky-Die-Die.

lol... other than that moment of madness(just joshing lol), a very Carol style collection of gorgeousness. That has to be one of my favourite Stampsmith stamps.
