My first book card




Good afternoon everyone! I've been working on this book card for a couple of days now.....my first one and it definitely won't be my last!!! Thanks to my dear friend, Danielle, for her assistance with the measurements. I have to admit it took two tries to get the inside accordian frame to be acceptable. This needs some practice.
This card was totally inspired by the incredibly talented TRINE. She is an amazing
artist and she does spectacular work with the Kenny K images. You can see her magnificent card HERE.
The inside of the card features another Kenny K image inserted in a pocket and I added truffles in the center. Papers are from the BG Sweet Threads collection. The images are colored with copics.
Thanks for visiting my blog. Hope you are having a great beginning of the week!
Much love, Christina

Inventory Challenge #59



Good morning everyone! For those of you that are out shopping today.....you are brave souls!!!!!
I hope you had a fabulous Thanksgiving holiday.

Danielle and I and our talented team invite you to our Inventory Challenge, this week's theme is "Let's See Snowflakes".
Well, as you can readily see, I did not skimp on the snowflakes. For the base of the card, I used a large Nestie. The snowflakes are also Nestie dies and I also used the Tim Holtz Snow Flurries border die. Papers are by Pion Design and some scraps. The lace is from Walmart. I colored a lovely Special Edition Tilda which is my absolute FAVORITE.....sorry, don't know her name!

Poinsettia Fairy



Good morning to all my friends out there....hope you are having an enjoyable Sunday!
Got some bad news yesterday! My son, an avid hunter, fell on his way down from the tree stand and broke some ribs. Needless to say, he is not feeling too well this morning! My husband will go and help out for a few days, especially with his dogs!

I purchased this beautiful SWEET PEA Poinsettia Fairy and I could not wait to ink her up. She is so stunning. Of course, the final step was taping this lovely image onto the card and I'm sure your keen eyes will notice that it is CROOKED....LOL!!!!
Scor Tape is unforgiving....no way I was going to get this baby off!!!!
Anyway, all papers are from my scrap pile. The beautiful lace was a gift from my sweet friend, Danielle! Love, love it!!! Flowers are from Prima.

Thanks for visiting my blog....your comments are always appreciated. Hugs!

Inventory Challenge #57




Good morning everyone! It is Friday again and time for Danielle and I, along with our talented teammates, to welcome you to our Inventory Challenge. This week the theme is "something with wings". I decided to feature this lovely Tilda from the 2009 Christmas Collection. As you can see, I used numerous dies on my project.
You will see Tilda sitting on a circle die called "Catalina Wreath" by Memory Box.
I also used Tim Holtz's "Snow Flurries" die on the bottom of the card and, of course, the Magnolia spruce and lamppost.
The inside of the card features a digi scene by Make It Crafty called "Gift Way" and a Nestie tree die. All images are colored with copics.

Now I would like to invite you to visit my talented teammates and view their beautiful works of art:

Inventory Challenge #56





Good Morning everyone.......gosh, where does the time go???? I can't believe it's time for another Inventory Challenge! This week, the theme is "Get Well"!
As you can see, I have two entries today. I made the card with Tilda the nurse and Dr. Edwin first and I was not happy with the outcome so I hurriedly made another one.
I had no intention of making a second card, but it seems I need two get-well cards at the moment for co-workers.

I featured my images on papers by MMI called "Lost and Found" (thank you, Danielle!).
Everything else is from my stash. All images are colored with copics.

Now I would love to invite you to visit my friends and teammates and view their beautiful creations:
