Inventory challenge #12

Happy New Years Eve everyone be safe whatever you are doing !  I think I will just be staying home or going over to my son's playing Wii !  This past year has been a pretty good year for us we had a few challenges but what family doesn't.  I have had a great time with all my blogging buddies and I have learned so much from you all thanks for all the inspiration.

Christina, Danielle and I are still using up our inventory nothing new for us till summer..Be sure to stop by their blogs to see the beautiful creations they are come up with. I am so glad this does not include copics or refills and I need to place an order real soon. 

My project I am sharing today was a gift for a friend...it is an altered journal from the $1.00 bin at Michaels that I have had in my closet for a few years :) I have one that a friend made for me and it is something I use daily.  On the front of the book I have used 2 maggie stamps the open gate and Tilda holding a broom and I just cut the broom off.  The border of the page is graphics from Laurie Furnell, I have added stickles for some pop.

The inside cover is  graphics, and on the divider page I have used Longing Tilda.

The next page is with Tilda with 3 tulips I think, and then I used this funny lady from a senior graphic for the back cover.  My friend who I made this for I met on another board where all we used were graphics and we have stayed in touch so I combined the old and the new ! 

 All of my images are colored with copics.  You can purchase all you Tildas from Magnolia-licous and don't forget now you can get the minis Tildas which are so much fun !

Challenges:

Just Magnolia - anything goes

Totally Gorjuss - for someone special

Thats it for me today hope you find some time to get creative.

Inventory Challenge #10

Good Friday morning to you all.... thanks for coming by !  Please stop by and see what the lovely Christina and Danielle have created as well as we continue to use what we have on hand.   My card today was so fun to make.  I followed the sketch from Midnight Madness MMSC83.  I have used "Secret Tilda"  the mini is in stock at Magnolia-licious but I am sure if you contact Diana she will have the bigger one as soon as she can..  My image is stamped on Cryogen White, and colored with copics.  I cut the snowflake which is 3 layers with my wishblade.  I used the snowflake embossing folder.  I have added stickles to the snowflakeand to Tildas little socks, present and hair ribbon.  The present ribbon has glossy accents on it to give the look of satin.  Ribbons from my stash.
Here is a side view so you can see the layers.

Happy Saturday to you....and a fine Saturday it is as I am off work and just waiting for my DIL and the kids to come over and we are baking today, no diets in this family at this time of year !  We went looking at Christmas lights last night and to Glendale Glitters it was a beautiful night all the kids had a great time especially my youngest DGS who will be two in March he would just squeel and jabber and the Santa would roll out of his little mouth :)  It has just been crazy around here between work, Christmas shopping and a new puppy this is the first time in a few weeks I have actually sat down and did some coloring.  I have some things colored up so now I can just put them together this week in between wrapping.

Each year since I have started crafting I make ornaments for my family so here is a quick for you, I just love this Tilda she is "Longing Tilda" and can be used for so many different things. She is from the fairytale collection and is in stock now at Magnolia-licious I picked up these joy ornaments in the dollar bin in one of my shopping trips.

Tilda is stamped on Cryogen white, colored with copics

At the Magnolia-licious Highlites challenge blog this month Diana asked us to create LETTER and/or WORD projects using our Magnolia stamps! You can interpret this in many fun ways and it's perfect for the holiday and gift-giving season!  Be sure to stop by and look at all the great inspiration from all the gals.

I hope you all are finding some time to enjoy this special time of the year with your family and friends.   Remember..... It is not about the presents but about "His Presence"

Suzannes' Blog Candy Fundraiser

Suzanne Dean is having a fundraiser on her blog  for a WONDERFUL CHARITY called the FISHER HOUSE FOUNDATION (read about them here)!  They build, operate and supply homes around the US for military families to stay in while their loved ones are in the hospital or in rehabilitation. We are so lucky to have the military support that we do in this country and they SACRIFICE the most precious gift of their LIFE everyday to defend and protect us. It's easy to go about our daily lives and forget what our troops are doing, but in some small way I'd like us crafters to join together to give back to them this month!! I think it's so important to give back to them and support them in any way we can especially during the holiday season and this charity does so much fabulous work with military families and taking care of them in their time of need, you can't put a value on the gift of love and support!


I hope you will join in with us to support such a great cause !

Flying Angel Tilda

Good Morning Happy Thursday to you.  I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and was able to spend some time with family and friends enjoying each other.  I have had a great week I have been off work so I got lots of things done and just really enjoyed the time with my grandkids. I bought the Wii and we played all weekend I can see many hours of family game time which will be awesome...heck even the biggest kid was having fun LOL.

My little project for today is a Christmas ornament, I saw this style last year on Suzanne Deans blog if you have never been there you are really missing out.  I cut my scalloped backing with my wishblade and the center circle as well, I ran the center through the cuttlebug snowflakes embossing folder.  Little Tilda is stamped on cryogen white and colored with copics she is popped up and has some snow flock in the little globe so she is flying in the snow. Papers are from my stash and so is the little ribbons.  The little things I am using as a snow globe are little party favor things and I can't remember where I got them I just trimmed them to fit.  I have added silver stickles to the edge.  Flying angel Tilda is part of the new Christmas collection, you can get here from Diana, and don't foget about those little minis you are able to order now they are so much fun to create with.

I totally forgot about the inventory challenge this week due for Friday with my blogging friends Christina, Danielle and Rene be sure to stop by and see what they have come up with.  This little ornament was made from things I already have it will have to do.
