Sweet Tilda

Happy Saturday to you all hope you are having a good one mine has been on and off LOL ! This morning was great went and watched my granddaughter play in the State Championship All Star game for Jr. High basketball they lost by one point. Just having a great day crafting after that and go to do laundry and the washer is not agitating or spinning holy moly it is not even 6 months old and of course can't get a service call till Monday morning. OK enough of all that and on to the little woven basket. Just Magnolia had a special challenge to create/alter an Easter basket/container. Well as life would have it I did not have time to do it then but I just fell in love with the DT's examples, especially Bev's so I was determined to make one. Well here is my take on the challenge you find the instructions on how to make this from Lena and if you have not seen the beautiful things she creates you are really missing out.

I have used "Sweet Tilda" and you can get her at Magnolia-licious don't forget if you are member of the Magnolia yahoo group you will receive special discounts on all purchases. DP used for the basket is KC & Co. and then I have distressed them with walnut stain by Tim Holtz. I cut the handle and the scalloped oval and circle with my wishblade, distressed them with the same and then went over the swiss dots with a lite pink chalk. Branch is MS punch and the little flowers just some that were in my stash. I have added some stickles to Tilda's hair ribbons, sleeve cuffs and a little bit on the edge of her skirt.
Copics used RV02, RV04, RV0000, R20, E00, E21, E31, E33, E35, E37, E43, YR61.

Thanks for coming by have a great rest of your evening.

Christmas all year long blog hop ..... Silver Bells

Hi and thanks for joining us on our 2nd Christmas all year long blog hop. This is such a nice way to have those Christmas cards made and ready to go long before the hustle and bustle of the season. If you happen to just stop in here and would like to see all the cards in this hop you can go to Julies she is our leader and the one who came up with this for us. For my card I used Snoowie with bells and I don't see him over Magnolia-licious but I am sure if you email Diana she can let you know if and when she can get him for you. Don't forget if you join our Magnolia Yahoo group you get special discounts on all Magnolia stamps at Magnolia-licious. I have colored my image with copics and then I have added some fun flock to his ear muffs and jacket edges and for the snow on the ground. I added liquid embossing to his nose, buttons and the little bell ringers. DP are some I picked up somewhere called the Paper Studio. Well that is it for me so now you can go visit Cheryl and see what she has come up with for you.
Have a great day

Spring is just around the corner !

Hi and happy Sunday to you all, I hope you are having a great weekend. Mine did not start off to good yesterday I think I had a 24 hour bug....it seems to have left today so for that I am grateful. I decided to just take it easy and craft today it is the perfect day for that here as it is rainy and cold, well cold according to AZ standard LOL ! The DT over at Magnolia-licious Highlites challenged us to make a "Windshield Wiper Card" with a spring theme. You can find the instructions for these cute little cards here. I followed the sketch over at Friday Sketchers for the front of my card. I have made my little card from part of a card kit I rec'd from Anglea at SCS I really love this little image, and the papers and goodies she sent me were just perfect for this. My image is colored with copics, the little wiper images, and sentiment are computer generated from my PC Crafter clipart. Ribbon was a piece of scrap I saved from something and it is just perfect and I colored white brads to match the pink with copics, and there is some stickles in the flowers on her hat and in the basket.
Thanks for coming by and have a great day.

I had this sweet image from an image swap and I tell you this is just one of the cutest little girls I have seen, she is called "Daisy" from Sugar Nellie, and the lady who sent me this embossed the stamping it is so cool. I have followed the sketch at KLSNS challenge #15 by Jodi, I really like this sketch and I am sure I will use it again. This will also qualify for the friends challege at Totally Paper Crafts .I have colored my image with copics, and added diamond stickles to the little Daisy and the Daisie's in her hair. The DP and flower are from KC and Company. Ribbon is Craft Essentials from Joann's and the sentiment is from my stash.
