Rose Garden Tilda

Hello to all my lovely blogging friends! I managed to make a card featuring the lovely Rose Garden Tilda, from the current Summer Memories Collection. Working five days a week does not leave me much time for crafting and when I spend time in the craft room, I feel guilty because my elderly mother feels ignored. She is very depressed lately and refuses to see a doctor. She does not have much mobility and I can certainly understand that this is a very difficult situation for her! Back to my card......Tilda is colored with copics and featured on my favorite papers, Maja Design Summer Vintage collection. The gorgeous lace was a gift from my dear friend, Danielle. The flowers are from my stash. Thank you for your continued visits and support....you make it all worthwhile. Thank you so much. Hugs, Christina

Tilda with Winding Flowers

Good Morning everyone! I'd like to share a card I made for the DEEP OCEAN CHALLENGE No. 26, requiring swirls. I am featuring Tilda with Winding Flowers from the new Summer Memories Collection. She is colored with copics and showcased on lovely Magnolia paper, also from the new collection and a Nellie Snellen die. The lovely trim red was a gift from a dear friend. Thank you for visiting my humble blog and leaving a comment. I truly appreciate your support. Wishing you a lovely weekend! Thank you, Christina

Inventory Challenge #83

Good morning and a very happy Friday to everyone! Danielle and I, along with our talented teammates, invite you to our Inventory Challenge. Today's theme is to make a card with a sentiment as the focal point, no image! I totally forgot to take a picture of the inside of the card prior to mailing it. The beautiful heart is a Sissix die and the papers are from Prima's Fairy Flora collection. Now, I would love to invite you to visit my talented teammates and view their works of art: DANIELLE, CATHY-LYNN, RENE, SYLVIA, NADINE, KATHY and ELLE. Thank you for taking a few minutes out of your busy day to visit and leave a comment. It is much appreciated. Hugs, Christina

May Entries for Hjertebodens Yule Blogg

Good morning everyone! Since I have no idea in what order my cards will show up on my blog....Blogger does what it wants to and it's never the way I hope it will be...I will describe my entries for the May Hjerbebodens Yule Blogg in general terms! The challenge this month was to make a "goody bag". The cute Angel Tilda (don't know her name...sorry) I colored on my goody bag is from the 2010 Christmas Collection and I featured her on papers from BG's Nordic Holiday Collection. I added sleigh bells because I thought it would make a cute addition! This assignment took me out of my comfort zone, I tell ya! I made another card featuring Tilda with Fir and I used my favorite pastel Christmas papers designed by Kristine Moldenhauer Biseth. Love those papers!!!! The background trees is one of my Stampscapes. The final card was totally inspired by my sweet friend, Sandy. It is a paper bag card....something I have been wanting to try for a long time. I will be making more of those.....love them, Sandy!!!!! Thanks for the inspiration! The inside of the card features a couple of Magnolia tags and the papers are once again designed by Kristine. Santa's Helper Tilda is from the 2009 Christmas Collection, as well as the packages she is resting on. I paper-pieced this adorable Tilda. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. I truly appreciate it.

Hooked Tilda

Let me tell you, it is unprecedented for me to post twice in one day......but, I just had to color this adorable Tilda from the new Summer Memories Collection. It is a very simple, one-layer card because I simply could not cover up more than absolutely necessary of this beautiful Magnolia paper! Tilda is colored with copics and masked so she sits on the Magnolia boat, also from the new collection. The fish is one of my Stampscapes stamps, which I thought would work perfectly with the scene. This Tilda reminds me so much of my daughter, a total outdoors person and avid fisherman! I have decided to enter this card in a new challenge blog "Tilda's Town" where Anything Goes.....love those kind of challenges! I am also entering it in Deep Ocean Challenge with the theme "What a Wonderful Woman"! Thank you for visiting my blog. Your comments mean so much to me! Hugs, Christina

Inventory Challenge #82

Good morning to all my lovely blogging friends! It's time for another Inventory Challenge and this week's theme is "paper piecing". Danielle will not be joining us this week, but she will be back next week. Today, I am featuring a Tilda from the Animal/Pet Collection. As you can see, I paper pieced the dress, part of the bow and even the shoes and socks. I wanted to use black Mirro paper for the shoes, but cutting out the shoes was wayyyyyy too detailed....I gave up! The papers are a mix of Pion Design and Prima. The bird cage is a Tim Holtz die. Now I would love to invite you to visit my fabulous teammates and friends and view their amazing creations: CATHY-LYNN, RENE, KATHY, SYLVIA, NADINE and ELLE. Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my blog and leave a comment. It is truly appreciated. Hugs, Christina

Becca and Bo

A very happy Mother's Day and Sunday to all the lovely ladies out there! I'd like to share a card I made using the adorable Saturated Canary image called "Becca and Bo". The image is colored with copics and showcased on papers from Prima's Meadow Lark collection. I am entering this card in the Saturated Canary Challenge #17 "May Flowers". Thank you for visiting my blog and especially for your continued support. Love and hugs, Christina

Inventory Challenge #81

Good Morning and a very happy Friday to everyone! It's time again for another Inventory Challenge and this week we are making a Mother's Day card. My mother loves Lindor truffles, so, of course, I had to incorporate those treats! I chose to showcase a darling Bildmalerna image on lovely papers from Prima's Fairy Flora collection....wish I had purchased more of those papers because I can't find them any more! She is colored with copics and I also used a white souffle pen on the flowers to give them some dimension. Now, I would love to invite you to visit my lovely teammates and view their fabulous creations: DANIELLE, CATHY-LYNN, RENE, SYLVIA, NADINE, KATHY and ELLE. Thank you so much for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. You are the greatest! Love and hugs, Christina

More Saturated Canary

Good morning everyone! Had a little time this weekend to work with a couple of the new Saturated Canary images......just love them!!!!! The adorable girl with the sweet puppy is showcased on MF C'est la Vie papers. All embellishments are from my stash. The lovely girl in the meadow is showcased on BoBunny's Gabrielle collection. I also used the new Magnolia ticket die and Scalloped Stitched die on my card. Both images are colored with copics. Thank you so much for visiting and leaving a comment. Wishing you all a fabulous week. Hugs, Christina

Inventory Challenge #80

Good morning to all my lovely friends! Danielle and I, along with our talented team, welcome you once again to our Inventory Challenge. This week, the theme is to "use a Tilda or other image that best exemplifies you and why". Well, of course, Stamping Tilda came to mind immediately, but I decided that Tilda Walking Wiola from the new Summer Memories Collection was the best choice for me. The reason this image most exemplifies me is because I love walking my wonderful German Shepherd. He is a rescue dog and the light of our life. A friend of mine heads a German Shepherd rescue and thanks to her, we have the most wonderful companion on the face of the earth. This image, however, presented a problem......what does Tilda have in her right hand????????????? I asked several of my crafting friends and no one seemed to know! Sooooooooooooooo, I decided it's a POOP BAG.....that's my story and I'm sticking to it.....***smile***!!!! At first glance, I thought it was a glove, but she does not appear to be wearing a glove on her left hand! Anyway.... Tilda is definitely all dressed up and ready for a party. She has the flowers, an envelope which probably contains a gift of $$ and, of course, her furry companion in tow. I showcased her on papers from MME's Life of the Party Collection. All embellishments are from my stash. See that adorable bauble on the tag....that's from Prima. Love it!!!!!!!! I included a picture of Buddy and I going for our morning walk....poop bag in hand...hahahahaha! In all honesty,living in rural America, I don't need a poop bag. Buddy is well mannered...he goes in the field! Now, I would love to invite you to visit my wonderful friends and teammates and see their creations: DANIELLE, CATHY-LYNN, RENE, SYLVIA, NADINE, KATHY and ELLE. Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my blog. I appreciate all of you so much. Big Hugs, Christina
