Thinking of you this Holiday Season

TGIF are you all ready for this exciting weekend...do you have any fun plans with the family or friends ?  I tell you I am so looking forward to being off on Sunday !  I will be watching my youngest DGS in the afternoon as his parents are going to the football game, the Buc's are in town and my son is an avid Tampa Fan.  In the early afternoon/evening I will be heading over to my other son's with my little monster to enjoy an evening of trick or treating with the little ones and then just hanging out around the fire pit eating some chili an fritos !

I made this little card as part of the inventory challenge I have joined with my blogging buddies Christine ,Danielle  and Rene so please stop by and see the beautiful cards they have made ...we are to have layers and lace this week, and I have had this paper lace from Basic Grays Eskimo kisses forever.  My card has 3 layers, cardstock is just bulk from Michael's recollections pack.  DP is BG also Eskimo kisses.  My flower is from Wild Orchid crafts and the little sentiment is from the $1 bin at Michaels I think.  My image is colored with copics and I have added stickles to her jacket and wings and flower soft to the jackets edge.  I put the little rhinestones on the edge for some color and bling.  I made this little easel card template up and cut it on my wishblade as I don't have a scalloped edge Nestie so I had to make do with what I do have.  I just love these little Hanglar images.  I have no idea what her name is sorry.

I am going to enter this little cutie into the following challenges:

Lovely hAnglar only - Challenge #10 non square easel cards
Pile it on - Challenge #42 soft holiday card...flower soft on the jacket edge
Paper Garden - holiday cards

Believe in the Magic of Christmas

Hi there thanks for stopping by, I hope you are finding some time to create and relax !  That is exactly what I did today after running some errands this morning....it was a cloudy, breezy day perfect to just stay home and enjoy the day.  I have had this little guy colored for some time now...isn't he just the cutest little snowman with his feathered friend stopping by to say hi !  My image is colored with copics, the card base is Kraft, the DP is from Close to My Heart...thanks Robyn ! The snowflakes are a MS punch, the flowers are from Wild Orchid crafts, and the tag was from my stash which I am on a mission to use up as much as I can between now and summer.  The sketch I used is from Friday sketchers last week.

I have added some stickles to the holly berries on his hat and the little snowflakes. 
Here is the the little tag

Little Cutie

Happy Sunday to you !  Well it has been a great vacation and it is back to work tomorrow....I think I am actually ready to go back this time, which is not usually the case.  I had some time last night so I did a little coloring and put this little card together and I think this little Tilda as a witch holding the broom is just to cute.  I have follwed the sketch at Midnight Madness MMSC75.  My image is stamped on Cryogen White cardstock and colored with copics, and shaded with black soot distress ink.  The DP is from BG Erie collection which is one of my favorites ! The swirls are cut with my wishblade.  Flowers, bat, twine etc. all from my stash.  I have challenged myself to not buy anything new until next summer except  printer ink, cardstock to stamp on, or refills for my copics as needed.  I have way to much and need to just use what I have, so thanks Christine for this awesome challenge.  I have added black stickles all around the edge of the card and on the swirl for some glitz !  Tilda's blouse, bows in her hair, hat band and lace under her dress have been stickled.  I don't know about you but my cards need some glitter !

I am going to enter this into the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp challenge - recipe 3types of embellishment...2 flowers 1 swirl and 2 patterned papers, 1 image and plain paper for backing.

A Scary Night !

Happy Friday to you all !  It has been a great week and a half for me.  My family was at Disney for 3 days on the last day my good friend Sharron joined us, we had a blast playing at Disney and then we went to her house for 4 days of  laughing, crafting, shopping, eating etc.  Can't wait till the next time Sis :)  While I was there I put together this little paper bag book for the Magnolia-licious challenge for Oct.  My little book is made from 2 brown paper bags, which I sprayed with Charcoal glimmer mist from Tattered Angels. The images on the front are Brother and Sister Tilda #334, and the moon from the So Spooky collection you can get all your Maggie needs from Diana here . I have used the MS picket fence punch and the little kitty and Boo are from Laurie Furnell.  I have added stickles to the moon, sentiment and her dress for bling.  All images are colored with copics.

This cute little mummy is also from Laurie furnell I just love his little shorts and eyes :)

I am not sure of this cute little witch Tilda's name as I rec'd her as a gift from a dear friend thanks Linda.  I have colored her with copics and then shaded her with walnut stain distress ink, this technique is one I learned from the very talented Angie.  I think she came out very good IMHO (blushing here)

This is the last page with Tilda holding the pumpkin.  The picture frame is from Laurie as well. This years Halloween pictures of my grandkids are going in here and I am going to give it to my DIL to put up for them in years to come.

Here is a side view and a picture of the tag inside.
I am going to enter this into the following challenges:

Do you know who's birthday it is ?

Yippe TGIF and it is an extra special Friday for me as we are celebrating my DGD's 15th birthday......yikes where does the time go, holy cow seems like just yesterday she was this cute little daddy's girl standing on the love seat waiting to see his car pull in from work and she would holler "D D D" and he would come in and say "A" as her name is Alyssa.
 ♥ Happy Birthday Princess you will always be my special angel ♥

This little card is just to appropriate for her. This is a Mo's Digital image "Dani and Friends" and Alyssa's best friends name is Dani and this so looks like the 2 of them.  Alyssa does not like lots of frills as she calls it so her are cards pretty clean and simple. I have followed the sketch over at Midnight Madness MMSC73.

My image is colored with copics.  All papers are digital.  This is another one of those cards made from everything in the craft room no purchase necessary and if you would see this craft room you would understand why I am trying to use things on hand KWIM ! I cut the backs off  the little black flower brads and just glued them on I like that better that holes in the card.
The black and pink background are raised, and the image is also raised with pop up dots for depth, and the the flowers have 3 layers for the 3D effect.

And the inside of the card,

I am entering this into a few challenges:

Pile it on - Cute and Charming

ASFOS -  Challenge 123 Spots and Strips

Stamp Something - Celebrate

Digi Doodles - Challenge 27 3D it
