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
The Ribbon Girl - Red and green
Wee Memories - Cute Holidays
Christmas Card Challenge - week 47 use a flower

Thanks for coming by hope you have a great weekend !

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.

ABC challenge - F is for flowers

Have you heard the News ????

Hi there and happy Tuesday to you all. I hope you are having an enjoyable day, I had a very relaxing and enjoyable day. It is very hot and muggy here in AZ very unusual for us...I think this has been the most humid summer I have experienced in my 14 years here, so I did what I needed to do early and spent the day in the nice cool house putting this little card together. I just love this little Tilda, this is my first time using this stamp which my dear friend Gail shared with me :) I believe she is called "Love News Tilda" and I don't see her but I am sure you can contact Diana and she can help you out. I have followed the sketch at Midnight Madness MMSC67 My image is colored with copics. The DP is basic gray "Porcelain" collection. I really enjoyed making this little gal ! I will be entering her into a few other little challenges.
Magnolia-licious where they want birthday in honor of Diana's birthday month.

You make me feel like dancing !

Happy Sunday to you all ! I sure hope you have had a nice weekend I have had a fantastic week as I was on vacation. I went to San Diego where I was born and raised and spent some time with my Godmother who is 87. The weather was just perfect so we were out and about the whole time I was there, I was acting like a tourist LOL ! Today being my last day of vacation I put together this little "Ballerina Tilda" she is one of my favorites for sure. I have colored her with copics, and then added stickles to her dress bodice and tiara. The pink background paper is "Bittersweet" form basic gray. The flourishes and matching paper backing Tilda (for some reason are showing as a black they are actually dark brown with white polka dots) is also basic gray from the "Porcelain" line. The band running in the back is from a glitter stack in my stash. The flourishes were cut with my wisblade.

Christmas All Year Long April & MMSC50

Happy Sunday to you all and thanks for coming by for our 4th Magnolia-licious
Christmas All Year Long Blog Hop. If just happen to stop here you may want to start and the beginning so you can see all the great cards. Where is this year going I can't believe it is already almost May...Christmas will be here before you know it ! With that being said there are a few of us that are getting a head start with our cards, and if you would like to join in this wonderful group you can do so by joining the Magnolia Yahoo group just click on that cute little icon on my side bar and come and join in the fun. When you are done here you will want to go on over and see the awesome card that Deb made.

I followed the sketch at Midnight Madness, it worked perfectly for my rounded image and I think it makes for a nice clean and simple style card. I am also going to enter this at Just Magnolia where this week anything goes. Another entry is Winter Wonderland where it is anything goes for Christmas also. Last but not least is Simon Says Challenge where they want things with wings.

My little Sparkling Tilda and the Snowy Circle around her are from the So Jolly, So Snowy collection and they seem to be out of stock right now however I am sure if you contact Diana she can get her for you.
She is colored with copics and I am sorry that I did not write them down for you. I have added stickles to her halo and on the snowflakes in the circle. DP is basic gray Eskimo Kisses, base card stock is from Michael's and the ribbon is from my stash.
The scalloped circles were cut on my wishblade and the snowflakes are from the MS snowflake punch, and I added some ultra fine Crystalescent glitter from Stampendous.

Have a great day and try to find some time to color or craft it is good for the soul.
Hugs,

Be Happy !

Wow can you believe we are just a couple of days away from 2010 ! I tell you the years just fly by these days. I hope you have a very safe and Happy New Year whatever you may be doing. I will be going to my son's and just hanging out playing games and watching movies. I am so excited I finally got my Winter kit stamps mounted so I could ink them up and play ! I used this cute little sketch from Dawny P over at Papertake Weekly if you have not been over there go check them out and join in the fun. This will also qualify for the Roses on Paper Challenge where the challenge is "colouring with your favourite medium/s" (copics) and using an approved stamp. Tilda is colored with copics, skin - YR61, E00, R20, hair and pants - E37, E35, E33, E31, blouse - RV11, RV13 little basket E51, E33, socks E51, RV13. I added diamond stickles to her blouse, socks and hearts. I have used Distress ink on the sides of the card and image. The DP is Basic gray extravagance mixed with some pieces I had in my stash. The sentiment is from my stash as well. Thanks for taking time to stop by.
Big hugs,
