Holiday Tilda

Good Morning!

Hope you're Monday is off to a great start! We had a pretty good weekend here, although our family is still recovering from a week of the sickies...finally though I think we are all feeling almost 100%!

I created a card today for some of the new challenges for this week. I also used a new Magnolia image. I've been waiting for my holiday order to arrive and it finally did! I love these new holiday stamps!

I've colored with Copics and added some white gel pen and Spica glitter pen accents to the image. The papers are My Mind's Eye Wonderful Winter, which I found at my local store on clearance! The paper has a Christmas tree pattern and some glittery accents. I embellished with some felt snowflakes and sticky gem rhinestones.

This card fits the challenges at:
Friday Sketchers - layout
Charisma Cardz - Christmas
Secret Crafter Saturday - Christmas Trees
Cupcake Craft - Red and Green
Kaboodle Doodles - Snowflakes

A Sketch Challenge

Happy Friday!

And today is no ordinary Friday, it's Black Friday! Anyone get up at the crack of dawn to do some Holiday shopping? I didn't, but then again I never do. We are the wait until the last minute types! LOL! I'm looking forward to the weekend myself, having some time to relax and be with my family! And who knows, maybe we'll do a little shopping too.


Today I have a card to share for the new Just Magnolia challenge. This week we have a sketch challenge for you and it's a fun one!

I took a break from the holiday cards and went for a cheerful pink and green card. I've used this Tilda with Lollipop image and colored her with Copics and highlighted with a gel pen. I paired her with some fun BasicGrey Eva papers with lots of circles. I embellished with Prima flowers and sticky pink pearls, some ribbon, and white gel pen faux stitching. The sentiment is from SU!'s set Short and Sweet.

Thanks for dropping by today, hop on over and check out all the beautiful eye candy from my fellow Just Magnolia DT members! Have a great weekend. Happy Stamping! :)

A Whimsy Christmas

Happy Wednesday!

Hope you're having a good week. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving here in the States, so we are looking forward to a fun day with family sitting around the table eating turkey! Hope you have a wonderful holiday!

Today I have a Whimsy card to share with you that also fits some other challenges. I decided to use the Purr-fect Gift stamp from our Crissy Armstrong Collection. I just love this sweet little kitten's face and this stamp is great for paper piecing too.

There were a bunch of Christmas challenges this week so I grabbed some BasicGrey Wassail papers with some artichoke and burgundy card stock to make my card. The image was colored with Copics and then I paper pieced the gift box and popped up the kitten on foam tape. I've embellished with Prima flowers, my favorite embellishment, and also with some ribbon and a charm. Then I added this Merry Christmas sentiment from Whimsy Stamps to finish it off.

This card fits the challenges at:
Whimsy Stamps - Christmas Cards
Creative Card Crew - Favorite Things
Everybody Art Challenge - Christmas
Paper Take Weekly - Christmas Crackers

Thanks for dropping by today! I hope you all have a great day and a Happy Thanksgiving too. See you back here on Friday for a new Just Magnolia challenge! Happy stamping!

One for the Boys

Good Morning!

It's Tuesday, hope you're having a good day! We are all gearing up for Thanksgiving here in the States and I'm just hoping that my family is recovered from these nasty sick germs in time to eat turkey!

Today I have a card to share that I made just for fun and it happens to also fit some of the challenges for the week.

This card uses a sweet Hanglar image that my friend Deb shared with me in an image swap. I just love these images, so cute! I've colored him with Copics and highlighted with a gel pen.

The layout is from Friday Sketchers and the papers are BasicGrey Granola. I used different blues and brown card stock and distressed the edges. I've embellished with ribbon, hemp twine, and buttons, and few eyelets.

This card also fits the challenges at:
A Spoon Full of Sugar - brown plus blue or pink (sponsored by Whimsy Stamps)
Cute Card Thursday - Teen Terrors (Sponsored by Whimsy Stamps)

Thanks for dropping by today, have a great afternoon! Happy stamping! :)
