Pretty In Pink Blog Hop..."Loving Wishes"

Hi there and a Happy Monday to you ! Hope you are having a great start to your week, this is my only day off this week so I am trying to make it a fun one. I have made this little "Love Sealing Wax" Tilda for the Pretty in Pink Blog hop @ Magnolia-licious highlites . This little Tilda is on pre-order now over at the Magnolia-licious store she is in the Raising the Ceiling Collection.

I have tired lots of new things on this little card, I paper pieced her dress, I double stamped the image and cut out her arm and sealing wax and raised them with pop up dots, I did machine stitching and lastly I used the glue pad and glitter for my sentiment. I quilled my little hearts and added the rivets for the ribbon, and added stickles to the wax and Tilda's sleeves. The light pink DP is basic gray and the others are from K C & company. The sketch is one of the past Friday Sketchers sketches by Claudia.

Well that is it for me today thanks for stopping by.
Hugs,

Winter Wishes and Christmas All Year Long Blog Hop

Hi and thanks for joining our 1st Christmas All Year Long Blog Hop. Julie from our Yahoo group came up with this great idea to do a Christmas card on the 25th of each month, hey that sounded great to me, when Christmas comes I will have a great head start on cards ! If you arrived from the very talented Tracey's blog then you are on the right track, if not you may want to start at the the very talented Julies and visit all the talented ladies participating in this hop.
This little cutie is Silent Night Tilda and you can get her from Diana at Magnolia-licious I see that she is out of stock at the moment but I am sure if you contact Diana she will gladly get her for you.
This card will also fit in the challenge at Magnolia-licious Highlites where the theme of a "Frame Card" for this challenge is from the very talented Sharon thank you so much for stretching me here a little :)
This card was originally created by the very talented Claudia if you would like the instructions you can find them here. My image is colored with copics. I used Baby Blue color box chalks to shade in the background and I have added Polar White flower soft to her jacket. I also used Diamond stickles on her headband, socks and the little swirls, snowflakes and the shadowing at her feet. The little branches are the MS Christmas branch punch, the sentiment is from the Snag'em Stamps Snowy Jo collection. I used my distress tool on the sentiment and walnut distress ink.
DP is Imaginisce "Polar Expressions".
Well I hope you have enjoyed your hop with us from here you go to Julies
Have a great week !
Hugs,

It's your Birthday!

Happy Friday to you all hope you had a great week. Are ya doing anything special this weekend...we are having my DGS 12th birthday party tomorrow not sure how many little guys will be attending but I am sure all his buddies will be ready to go. Then it is church on Sun and more crafting for me !!!! Ok I know what you are thinking she is not going to give this card to her DGS LOL !! No I am not DGS is getting a store bought card this year ! This card is actually for no special reason, I just got my new "wrapped presents #404" stamp from Diana @ Magnolia-licious and I wanted to use them. They are in stock now if you want to grab them. They are in the So Snowy, So Jolly collection. Tilda is Dinner Tilda and I don't see her there right now but I am sure if you contact Diana she can get her for you.

My images are colored with copics and I have to say I did try a new technique with the skin and hair. I used Sharon's tutorials over at Gramma's House of Cards be sure a drop by and just see all the talent she has. I added some little rhinestones for Tilda's jewelry bling. The presents have some stickles on them and I used my new Baby's Breath Shimmerz on the Happy Birthday scallop. I have to tell ya that I am not liking that pink ribbon on there at all but I got a new ATG tape gun and once it is on it stays LOL ! The DP is Imaginisce and just basic purple cardstock. Well that is it for me today. Thanks for coming by.
Hugs,
