A little Christmas Inspiration

Hi there, the weather is cooling off and the holidays are just around the corner.  I have a little project I made and would like to share with you!  Magnolia's were my first love and what got me into coloring.

 

 I created this using 5 x 6 pieces of wood.  I adhered  the paper with mod podge, then went over it again with the mod podge so that they can be dusted off when needed.  I colored each image with copic and then mod podged them.  The letters are spray painted, then I used acrylic paint and very lightly distressed them, and added snow tek. 

 

I just love Snowy with his snowflake.

 

 

 



 I am not sure of this cute little Tilda's name, I added a little fun flock to her mittens.  The little metal corners were perfect.

 

 

I believe this is Tilda unwrapped.  I embossed the solid paper and then added the ribbon and buttons.
I had so much fun making this little table decoration. This is made from everything in my stash except the letters. I hope you too will find some time to get creative it is good for our soul.

Hi there everyone hope you are having a good week.  Mine is going pretty good and it just 10 days I will be on my way to beautiful Huntington Beach to spend 11 days with my youngest grandsons and their beautiful mother.  I have been busy at the craft table getting projects done and photographed so I am not behind, not to mention getting images ready to take so I can color with the boys! 

This is a very special card made for a very special young lady, my granddaughter Alyssa who is 18 and has played basketball all through high school.  Yep she was on Varsity for the last 2 years and just had her "Senior Night" on the 31st of Jan.  I made frames for all the coaches and the 4 seniors for them to remember their last year.  I altered the #11 on this sweet Basketball Tilda from the Winner Takes All Collection to my granddaughter's actual number of 42.

This is a center stair step card cut with the Silhoutte along with the basketball hoop and team name.  Here is a side view of the card.

 

This is the frame I made for each of the girls,  every girls frame has her jersey with the number and individual photo and then the same team photo. 

 



There is no greater joy than being able to contribute to the memories of those you love most!

My image was colored with the following copics
Skin E50, 51, 93
Hair E41, 42, 44
Shirt Y11, 15, YR23
Shorts C1, 5, 7, 9
Ball YR09, 15, 16

I will be entering this little cutie into the following challenges:

Pile it on - #7 sentiment is the focus
One Crazy Stamper - anything goes
Creative Card Crew - #55 KISS keep it simple and sweet
Challenges for Everybody - #38 anything goes
Through the Craftroom Door - anything goes

Tilda is blowing love your way ♥

 

A very happy Sunday to you all, hope you are having a good end to your weekend!  I can’t believe that the month of July is over with already where does the time go?  I have been on vacation this past week and really got to relax and enjoy myself getting caught up on some coloring and doing some reading.  Hey if you like to read stop on by the CMC group site and check out the new “BookEndz” group we are reading a great book called “Snowflower and the Secret Fan”

So drop on by and join in the fun…

I have had this image colored for a long time it is actually from my beginning days of coloring and was just waiting for the perfect reason to make her into a card.  I can tell you that she is colored with the RV’s with stickles added to her for accent.  She is one of my favorite images called “Tilda blowing hearts” and you can get the mini version of her at Magnolia-licious.

The DP is “Express yourself creatively”.  I have used walnut stain and antique linen DI’s to give the vintage look.  I used RV95 to tip the roses to match Tilda’s dress. 

Challenges:

Cute Card Thursday – sketch #175

Craft us Crazy – anything goes

Copic Creations – pastels

Thanks for stopping by that’s it for me !

Snowy says "Merry Christmas"

It's Friday can you believe that it is here already.... I tell you the days are just flying by, it is hard to believe that Thanksgiving is next Thursday.  I have been working hard on getting my Christmas cards done, and using up all those pieces laying around or the things I have on hand...a few of us are on a mission not to buy anything new until summer, now that does not include ink, paper to stamp on etc.  I had this little image colored and was trying to decide what to do with her...Snowy is a girl today :) and I knew I wanted to do a mostly white card.  I was looking at the challenge blogs I say this cute sketch on Cute Card Thursday and one of the DT gals Annie had use the embossed snowflake folder on hers so I thought oh my that is perfect for my little Snowy, so here is my take on the sketch.  My image is stamped on Cryogen white cardstock, colored with copics.  Flowers are from Wild Orchid crafts.  Snowys ear muffs have fun flock on them and her bells have glossy accents. Her little coat edge is done in puff paint.  Be sure to stop by and see what Christina and Danielle and Rene  have made in their quest to use up their inventory.

Challenges:
Cute Card Thursday - #139 sketch
