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.

  8. Beautiful, beautiful art work Christina. Hey kid, I am always out of my comfort zone. You make me laugh! Your goodie bag is out of this world. I love paper bag cards and it is high time I made another. I spy chocolate do I not - any thing with chocolate is always a big treat. Now if I could just learn to make your book cards!! A paper bag card is a breeze compared to a book card!!!! Great work!! And Merry Christmas to you too!
