Inventory Challenge #44



Good morning everyone....can't believe another week has passed! Danielle and I welcome you to another challenge. The theme this week is "frame". I had something wonderful in mind, but it didn't turn out so "wonderful".....hahaha! I was becoming increasingly alarmed because I could not come up with any ideas,and, unfortunately, it was also a very hectic week with very little time for crafting.
I decided finally to feature Edwin Needs a Hug from the "You are So Special" collection. Edwin is holding a frame containing a picture of a mini Tilda.
I think Tilda must have gone on vacation and Edwin is missing her and needs a hug!
Papers are from the BG "Life of the Party" collection, a gift from my dear friend Claudia. Thanks Hon!

Now I would love to invite you to visit my friends and teammates DANIELLE,
CATHY-LYNN, SANDY, KATHY and CHARLENE. Rene was unable to participate this week...miss you, girl!

Thank you so much for visiting my blog. I am humbled by your sweet comments.
Next week's theme will be "fairies". Hugs, Christina

    Poor Edwin, in need of hugs... desperate for his Tilda's attention! LOL. Tooo cute. I love your mise en scène Christina, so clever. Gorgeous papers, and those colors are vibrant and beautiful. The flower lace border behind the image is just wonderful, and perfect accessory. Beautiful work my friend.
    Hugs.

    Good Morning Christina! I don't see any signs of struggle here at all. Oh my goodness this is FABULOUS and brilliant. I of course love, love, love your DP's and that die cut strip under Edwin. And Yes Edwin is missing his lovely Tilda. So clever to put her in that mini frame. And.... Your coloring is awesome.

    Well maybe it's best your other idea didn't work out because this one is "TOO CUTE FOR WORDS" !!! Edwin is adorable holding the little frame picture of Tilda. Brilliant idea and beautifully done. Love the delightful dp's. Good job!
    Hugs,

    Well if that is what happens when you struggle than I am in deep trouble!!! I think Edwin is singing "Whose sorry now" cause Tilda said "Hey Dude I am out of here!" And he is missing her like crazy. Maybe next time he will wash the dishes. Fantastic idea Christina and as you can tell it took me right into my vivid imagination!! I love those papers and again your design work and coloring are incredible!

    Your card is absolutely adorable. I can almost hear Edwin sighing "Please come home, Tilda!" Your coloring is really great. I really like the way your card came together - you carried the Frame theme out perfectly.
