Happy Fall Y'all

Wow what a beautiful Saturday it is here in AZ.  The AC's are off, windows and doors are open with a delish pumpkin pie candle burning!  It has been a great week for me as I have been on vacation, had lots to deal with and  get done so it was a perfect time for a vacation.   I still have today and tomorrow to enjoy so today has been spent in my craft room.  I just love days like this with nothing to do but what I want to....so this little card somewhat reflects the mood I have been in this week..thinking and reflecting on the beauty of each day !

I just love this little Tilda she can be used for so many things I am not sure of her name but I am sure you could find her at Magnolia-licious.  The little fence and tree background is from my stash, the pumpkins are a freebie from Make it Crafty.  My image is colored with copics and the sky is done with chalk. I added a little stickles to her hair tie and lace on her shirt and shoes just for that girly fun....I used one of those cheap dollar bin punches for the extra leaves I thought it gave it just the perfect touch.  Tilda is fussy cut and popped up for dimension.

 

Don't forget to stop by the CMC challenge group , we have a new challenge starting today and our sponsor is Mo's Digital Pencil so stop and by and break out the copics and join in the fun.

I will be entering this little card in the following challenges,

Totally Tilda - #34 Autumn Leaves...use leaves on your project

Crafty Boots - Autumn or Halloween

Have a great rest of your weekend !

A Spooktacular Day

Hi there a good Monday evening to you...hope you had a great weekend.  Wow can you believe it is almost Halloween where did this year go...holy cow I can't believe the holidays are already upon us.   It is funny how the time goes so fast the older we get !  The weather here is beautiful a little on the warm side in the afternoon but hey that is better than snow.  I am starting vacation this coming Saturday...just staying home this time and hanging out.  My grandson is in his first MMA tournament so we will be there on Sat and then heading to Fear Farm later that night.

I have used the Boot House digi from Make it Crafty  , then I added my sweet Tilda with a broom you can find her at 7 Kids College Fund.  My images are stamped on Cryogen white, Tilda and the tombstone are popped up for dimension.  All images are colored with copics I have added stickles the spider web and flowers for bling.  The sky was done with chalk.   I used the MS border punch for the edge.   This card was lots of fun to color !

Crafts and Me.  My image is colored with copics, my DP's are Basic Grey "Bittersweet" I used a MS border punch and the Magnolia flourish Doohickey Die...sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps.  I added fun flock to the little thing her hand is leaning on for a little deminsion.

A little Christmas in October

A very happy Saturday to you all....it is a very special weekend in our household as my oldest Grand-daughter turns 16 tomorrow, however we had her party last night and I have to say it is one of the best parties I have ever been to.  My daughter-in-law, myself and her other grandma had so much fun making this such a special day for her...  This is a picture of her and her boyfriend "Julian" and he did get her this beautiful Tiara for her birthday and this is my son and my wonderful daughter-in-law Kim

 Okay enough of the family and on to the reason you are here.....yep you guessed it right it's time for another challenge over at the CMC Challenge group and this time we would like to see you use those copics and make it look like you colored with distress inks......the winner of this challenge will get to choose 3 stamps from Magnolia-licious and a pack of cryogen white paper which is my favorite paper to color by far.  You will also be entered into the monthly drawing for the shopping spree and Oozak...now who does not want some more copics or refills!

For my card I have used "Unwrapped Tilda" and she is in stock at Magnolia-licious...she can be used for so many different occasions. If you would like learn how to color to in the distress style, Suzanne has 4 great videos on You Tube showing you how here is the link for video #1.  My DP's are Basic Grey Eskimo kisses, solid card stock from my stash.  The cute little "Banner Pennant" is from Whimsy Stamps, I just love it and have seen so many cute cards with it used from my good friend Sharon... thanks Chickie !  Used the new MS border punch that embosses also.  I added a little stickles to her hair ribbon and the snow flakes.
