sTanglar Challenge Blog.

Inventory Challenge #49

Good morning everyone....wishing you all a very happy Friday! Danielle and I and our talented teammates invite you to another Inventory Challenge. This week the theme is "Happy Birthday".

I am a great admirer of Camilla's beautiful creations and I love her style, so I attempted to case one of her stunning cards following a little tutorial she had on her blog enhancing her lovely images. She is a master with distress inks. I colored my Tilda with copics. It's not nearly as beautiful as Camilla's, but I'm actually happy with it! You can see Camilla's tutorial HERE.
I used lovely papers by Pion Design and I made a bunch of tags with one of my manila file folders. The beautiful lace was a gift from my sweet and incredibly talented friend, Claudia.

Now I would love to invite you to visit my teammates and view their amazing works of art:

Inventory Challenge #48

Good morning everyone! Danielle and I and our other fabulous teammates welcome you to our Inventory Challenge. Gosh, I can't believe how fast those weeks fly by!!!!
This week our theme is "distressing".
I decided to ink up this cute Scarecrow Tilda from the Sweet Rainbow Collection for the very first time and I am showcasing her on last year's BG Indian Summer collection. The flower/leaves are by Prima and the fence, of course, is a Magnolia die.
The inside of the card features a Northwoods stamp. I am also entering this card in the STAMP WITH FUN challenge requiring an autumn card.
Now I would love to invite you to visit my other teammates

Tilda with Straw Hat poses for Just Magnolia

A very happy holiday to all my blogging friends! Thank you so very much for all of your lovely comments.
This is a quick post featuring a card I made for the JUST MAGNOLIA AND HANGLAR & STANGLAR CHALLENGE BLOG. I decided to showcase Tilda with Straw Hat from the Butterfly Dreams collection 2011. She is colored with copics and the papers are from MME's Stella Rose collection. The fence is a Magnolia die and all other details are from my stash. The raffia was a gift from my wonderful friend, Jacque.

Thank you for visiting my humble blog. Hugs to all, Christina

September Entries for Hjertebodens Jule Blogg

Good morning everyone...wishing you all a fabulous holiday weekend with family and friends! It's raining today...a good day for napping!
It is time again for my Christmas card entries for the month of September over at Hjertebodens Jule Blogg.
My first card is a wonderful Haenglar image, colored with copics. Papers are from the BG "Jovial" collection and the flowers/leaves are from Prima. The swirls and film strip are from T. Holtz. The inside of the card has pockets holding tags with minis.

My Maggie card features my very favorite Tilda with Violin from last year's Christmas collection. The background is a LaBlanche stamp. Papers are Pion Design.
I colored the entire image with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

Finally, I decided to make a tag using another Haenglar image, also colored with copics. Papers are Melissa Frances and the gold dots were a gift from my sweet friend, Danielle. The gorgeous vintage brad and red rick rack was a gift from my wonderful friend, Jacque. The flower is by Prima and , as you can see, I used lots of gold Stickles.

Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. I truly appreciate your input.
Big Hugs, Christina

Inventory Challenge #47

Good morning everyone....wishing you all a fabulous Friday! Danielle and I, along with our very talented teammates, welcome you to our weekly challenge. This week, the theme is "Among my favorite things....". Maggies, lace and cherries are definitely among my favorite things. This particular Cherry Tilda is from the Cozy Family Autumn Collection 2010. The beautiful lace was a gift from my dear friend, Claudia, and the gorgeous ribbon was a gift from my wonderful friend, Jacque.
The beautiful papers were designed for Inkido by the lovely and mega talented Kristine Moldenhauer Biseth.
Tilda, of course, was colored with copics.
