Tilda Flying her Kite



Good morning everyone...wishing you all a very happy weekend!
OK...I'm attempting this again....pairing Tilda with my Stampscapes! I'm thinking that I may be stepping out of the realm of practicality here.
I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW WHAT YOU THINK?????
Since Just Magnolia and hAnglar and sTanglar Challenge Blog is requesting butterflies on a project, I think I will enter this card.

Thank you for visiting and I am looking forward to your opinion.

Inventory Challenge #37




Good morning everyone.....gosh, I can't believe it's Friday already! Time is moving too fast....before you know it, snow will be flying again!
Danielle and I welcome you once again to our Inventory Challenge. The theme this week is "Adorable Bugs". What could be more adorable than Ladybug Tilda???? She is from the Raising the Ceiling Collection 2010. Papers are from BG "Hello Luscious" collection. I used the Magnolia heart border die and the MS corner/border die. Tilda is showcased on a Nellie Snellen die and colored with copics.
The ladybugs on the inside of the card are from the Stamp Pad.

Now I would like to invite you to visit my friends and teammates DANIELLE, RENE and CATHY-LYNN and view their gorgeous works of art.

Next week, we will be making a recipe card.

I am also entering this card in the Deep Ocean Challenge which requires "flowers" on the project.

Inventory Challenge #36



Good morning everyone....hope you are all having a fabulous day! The sun is shining in Wisconsin today, if only for a day!!! Danielle and I welcome you to our weekly challenge. This week the theme is summer fun...an activity I love to do!! This theme presented a challenge for me. I was unsure of how to portray my favorite summer activity....hiking in the woods/wilderness! In desperation, I decided to combine my Stampscapes with Tilda carrying a walking stick from the Pet/Animal collection. I had to include the dog because I never walk without my Buddy! In all honesty, I did not think I could pull it off....these stamps are not a good match!
My favorite destination is the awesome Superior hiking trails in Northern Minnesota. I can't manage the challenging trails any more, but I still enjoy the easier trails.
Now I would love to invite you to visit my wonderful friends and teammates DANIELLE, RENE AND CATHY-LYNN and view their wonderful works of art.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog. We all lead such busy lives and I truly appreciate that you took a few minutes out of your day to visit. Hugs!

Next week the theme will be "Adorable Bugs".

Tilda with Ponytail



Good morning....what a gorgeous day in Wisconsin!!!! I hope you are enjoying a beautiful day wherever you are.
I received this beautiful Maja paper in the mail the other day and as soon as I laid eyes on this wonderful sheet, I knew I would have to make a card featuring Tilda with Ponytail from the new Sweet Rainbow collection. It's actually a very simple card....no fuss! It would be lovely if I had some of the beautiful poppies from WOC, but I have not had a chance to order them! I did, however, have the beautiful crystal flowers I received from my sweet friend, Jacque
. Thanks Hon!
Thanks for swinging by my blog.......soooooo love reading your comments!
Have a fabulous Sunday!
Tilda is colored with copics.
