A little Non-Traditional Christmas

Hey Hey it is hump day and my day off !  The weather here is beautiful today, and I am excited cause I will get some time to lay in the pool and relax, it has been really overcast and cloudy here lately so I am glad to see Mr. Sun today!

I decided to join up in the Mini card kit swap in the Magnolia-licious group so I always like to make my card so I can make sure they get what they need.  I am trying very hard to use things I have and not buy anything cause I have tons of stuff that has just been sittin around collecting dust KWIM!  So the new item here is the cardstock base and the little bows!   The rest has been here:)

 

I have used the mini "Tilda with a Lantern" and have perched her on some twigs.  She is colored with copics.  The fur on her jacket is done with some flower soft and her mittens and socks have stickles added to them.  I have raised her and the sentiment for depth.

 



 

I hope the gals that get the kits have fun with them!  That makes 2 Christmas cards done already :)

 

I am entering this into the following challenges:

 

Paper Shelter - #123 punches and dies

Through the Craftroom Door - anything goes

Cute Card Thursday - anything goes

Dutch Magnolia Chickies - anything goes #49

Creative Inspirations - something old/ something new

 

That's it for me today hope you all have a great week!

Hugs,

 



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.
