Inventory Challenge #20




Good morning everyone and a very happy Friday! Once again, Danielle and I welcome you to our Inventory Challenge. This week, the theme is "Anything Goes".
I decided to use a Sugar Nellie digi stamp called "Joy Sitting". On the inside of the card, you will see "Grace". I colored the images with copics. As you can see, I still have trouble sizing the digi stamps...LOL!!!! The papers are from the Tim
Holtz Vintage Shabby collection.
The beautiful lace, flower and ribbon are from a wonderful friend...thank you soooo much, Sweet girl!!!!
I would like to invite you to visit my friend and teammate, DANIELLE, and view her magnificent creation and then head on over to our other teammates, RENE and JEAN, to view their works of art. Charlene was unable to join us this week due to previous commitments and Sandy will no longer be joining us....we'll miss you Sandy!
Thank you dear friends for visiting my humble blog. I appreciate all of you very much. Hugs, Christina

Tilda in Butterfly Dress



Good morning everyone! I got up extra early this morning in order to finish my card.
I colored Tilda in Butterfly Dress with copics. Papers are from the Graphic 45 Once Upon a Springtime Collection. The lovely flowers were a gift from my special friend,Jacque. I believe I purchased the lace at Webster's Pages, and, of course, I used the Magnolia lace die. Presently, I believe this Tilda is no longer in stock at Diana's Magnolia-licious store.
I have to make this short, as my Buddy is getting impatient for his daily walk.
I have to keep my fur baby happy!!! Thanks so much for visiting. Hugs to all!!!

Magnolia Spring Tag Card




Good morning everyone! Wow, going to work last night was a white-knuckle experience.
Heavy snow with 30mph wind and some gusts higher than that!!!! We have 4-5ft. snow drifts in the driveway. I spent yesterday making a "spring" card to cheer me up.
I used three images from the new Butterfly Dreams Collection, some of which are still available at Diana's Magnolia-licious store. Tilda with a bunch of tulips is Sold Out...sorry! I used Tilda with lacy jeans on the inside of the tag card and she was still available last time I checked. The tulip walkway is also from the new collection.
This time I colored the images with copics. I used the beautiful lace I received from my dear friend DANIELLE. Thanks so much Hon...love it! The beautiful flowers were a gift from my very special friend Jacque...love it Sweetie. Thank you so much.
The fence and lace on the inside of the tag card are from Magnolia and the sentiment is on a Nestie. The papers were purchased long ago. They are from the Designers Line by Prima Marketing.
Thank you so much for visiting. I appreciate your comments so much. Hugs!!

colored Tilda with distress inks. All the ribbon and lace is from my stash. The
gorgeous flower is from a very sweet friend. Thank you so very much Sweetie!
I used heart Nesties for the sentiment on the inside of the card and the lovely lace is from my sweet friend,Claudia. Thanks, Hon, love it!
The lace on the front of the card is from Magnolia, originally white in color. I sprayed it with Garden Fairy Glimmer Mist.

Tilda in Paris



Good morning everyone! This is a quick post because I have been busy with various doctor's appointments for myself and diabetic classes for my husband. Life gets more complicated all the time....hahahaha!!!! My niece requested a card with a Paris theme so I immediately thought of this cute Tilda from the Bon Voyage Collection, available at Diana's Magnolia-licious Store. I colored this cutie with distress inks. The papers are "Paris Vintage" from Dove of the East. The gorgeous flowers and lace were a gift from a very dear and special friend. Thank you so much sweet girl....I love, love it!!!!
Hope you all have a marvelous day. Thank you so much for visiting and leaving a comment! Hugs, Christina

Three Christmas Cards for February Hjerteboden's Juleblogg





Good morning everyone....wishing you all a wonderful weekend! It's finally starting to warm up a bit. My family came back from warm and sunny Curacoa yesterday with a tan, and, judging by the photos, it was paradise on earth!
Being home on vacation, I had time to spend in my craft room and I finished the three Christmas cards for the Hjerteboden's Juleblogg.
My Tilda with violin was colored with distress inks and the papers I used were from Magnolia and some were designed by Kristine Moldenhauer Biseth. The gorgeous flowers are from Magnolia and the lovely corner adorner was a gift from my wonderful friend, Jacque.
The beautiful lace was also a gift from another sweet friend, Claudia. Thank you girls for thinking of me in such a special way.
The other two cards are "vintage" utilizing photos I received from another special friend. Thank you so very much.....I adore these wonderful photos!
The papers on the blue card are from Melissa Frances. The gorgeous white rose ribbon was also a gift from sweet Jacque.
For the final vintage card, I used papers from the Bo Bunny Christmas collection.
This one caught my daughter's eye right away....she loves the reindeer!
The raffia is from RRR and the beautiful gold mistletoe and red velvet flower were also a gift from Jacque. Thank you Sweetie!!!
I hope you like my cards. I am so very thankful for all your wonderful comments!
I love making cards and it's so nice when you get encouragement. Hugs!!!!
