Walkin in a Winter Wonderland !


Hi there can you believe it is the 25th of Aug. already.....where has this year went? I tell you the years seem to go by quicker every year! Welcome to another Magnolia-licious Christmas All Year Long Blog hop. If you arrived here from Carole then you are on the right path, if you just happened to stop by and see me you may want to start at the beginning so you don't miss out on any of the great creations. I really enjoyed making this card I have used the image "Sideways Tilda with Lantern" and "Three Christmas Pines" they are both colored with copics. I don't see the trees but you can get Tilda from Diana here. The trees are a really big stamp so I cut one of them off. I have added stickles and scribbles 3D paint to the trees. DP is Cosmo Cricket, "Be good: Believe" Lace up pieces are cut with the wishblade. Ribbons, brads, snowflakes and gems all from my stash ! I have used flower soft for the snow below the trees. I used chalk for the sky. Tilda has fun flock on her hat, glossy accents on her lantern and Stickles on her wings, she is popped up for dimension.

Thanks for joining us on our Christmas Blog hop and now you are going to go visit the very talented Kathy .

Have you heard the News ????


Hi there and happy Tuesday to you all. I hope you are having an enjoyable day, I had a very relaxing and enjoyable day. It is very hot and muggy here in AZ very unusual for us...I think this has been the most humid summer I have experienced in my 14 years here, so I did what I needed to do early and spent the day in the nice cool house putting this little card together. I just love this little Tilda, this is my first time using this stamp which my dear friend Gail shared with me :) I believe she is called "Love News Tilda" and I don't see her but I am sure you can contact Diana and she can help you out. I have followed the sketch at Midnight Madness MMSC67 My image is colored with copics. The DP is basic gray "Porcelain" collection. I really enjoyed making this little gal ! I will be entering her into a few other little challenges.

That is it for me today !

You make me feel like dancing !


Happy Sunday to you all ! I sure hope you have had a nice weekend I have had a fantastic week as I was on vacation. I went to San Diego where I was born and raised and spent some time with my Godmother who is 87. The weather was just perfect so we were out and about the whole time I was there, I was acting like a tourist LOL ! Today being my last day of vacation I put together this little "Ballerina Tilda" she is one of my favorites for sure. I have colored her with copics, and then added stickles to her dress bodice and tiara. The pink background paper is "Bittersweet" form basic gray. The flourishes and matching paper backing Tilda (for some reason are showing as a black they are actually dark brown with white polka dots) is also basic gray from the "Porcelain" line. The band running in the back is from a glitter stack in my stash. The flourishes were cut with my wisblade.
I am entering my card into a few challenges....

So many Fish....so little time


Happy Sunday to you all, I hope you have had a great weekend ! Here in my little spot in the desert we have been getting rained on for most of this past week and I am so loving it we need it so bad and the temps are in the 80's and that is a good thing too :)

Over at Magnolia-licious Highlites they had a little Nautical Themed challenge which ends today so I had this little Mermaid Tilda she is an older one I rec'd in an image swap so I thought I would color her up. She is colored with copics. I colored the rock she is on with distress ink, and also shaded her fin with it. This is the first time I have tried this and I think it came out ok.
My papers are digital and are from Aimee Asher a set call "Playful Fish" I think it is really cute.
There are 3 layers to the card, Tilda is also raised for depth.


I hope you enjoyed my little Nautical Gal.
Thanks for stopping by have a great week !
Hugs,
