Whiff of Joy for Friday Sketchers

Hi! I am posting a second card today because I am trying to learn the difference between blog link, direct link and hyperlink.....lol......Well, anyway, I made this card for Friday Sketchers #97 following the wonderful sketch by the very talented Beatrix.
I used BG Green at Heart (I'm using a lot of this dp lately) and Bazzill as the base. All flowers are Primas which were a gift from my dear and lovely friend Claudia. Thank you Sweetie!
Last week's FS card was linked incorrectly and I am hoping that I'm doing it right today.
Hugs, Christina

Hanglar for Stamp with Fun


Good morning everyone! First, I would like to thank all the wonderful, sweet ladies who have added their names as followers. Thank you sooooooo much. I am humbled!!!!!
I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend with some time to spend in your craft room.
I just finished this Hanglar card for the Stamp with Fun Challenge#53 which required 3 papers, 3 flowers and 2 buttons.
I used Bazzill for the base and BG Green at Heart. I also used some leftover hearts from wedding invitations I made.
Flowers are from Crafty Feelings and I used Raspberry ribbons. I also used Nellie Snellen flower punches. I also applied Stickles to flowers.
Thanks for visiting. Hugs, Christina

Tilda with Spring Bundler


Wow, I actually have time for a second post today. I had some extra crafting time today.....very rare indeed! I decided to make a card for the Magnolia-licious homepage which required flowers. The dp has so many flowers, I didn't think it required too much embellishment. I did use my new Nellie Snellen flower punch though for the flower on the right. I used a couple of different MS punches and some crystal stickers for the corners. Hope you like this cutie.
Thanks for coming by for a visit. Hugs, Christina

Hanglar for Friday Sketchers

Good morning everyone! I made this card for Friday Sketchers#96 using a sketch by the lovely and talented Tanja. What a wonderful sketch she gave us to work with.....love it!
Of course, the image is by Hanglar and the papers are BG Wisteria. The beautiful ribbon is a gift from my dear friend Claudia. You will also note Stempelglede in the background for the image.
The beautiful flower is from Prima.
I hope you have a wonderful day and thank you for visiting my blog. Hugs, Christina

Destination.......Hofbrauhaus!

Hi everyone! Hope you are having a wonderful week. I made this card for MMSC48 using a wonderful Alota stamp I received from my dear friend Claudia. Thank you so much Sweetie! It reminds me of my homeland and, of course, the best place to be at the end of September...Munich!
I used DCWV Once Upon a Time papers and the wonderful brads were also a gift from Claudia. They are sooooo gorgeous!! I purchased the ribbon at a local craft shop. For me "local" is a 2-hour round trip!
I hope you like my card and I thank you for visiting my blog. Hugs, Christina

Princess Tilda

Hello to all my friends and fellow bloggers. I'd like to show you another card I made a while back for Sketch Saturday, using the beautiful Princess Tilda image. I think this is a favorite stamp for all Magnolia lovers. I also knew that I wanted to use my stack of DCWV "Once Upon a Time" papers. I thought it would be the perfect choice for this cutie. I used gold glitter for her crown and also applied some to her dress. She was stamped, colored and cut out twice for additional dimension.
Thank you for taking the time to look at my card. Wishing you all a very happy Easter!

Edwin with his Easter Basket


Hello and a very happy April 1st. I needed another Easter card so I decided to use the sketch for Magnolia-licious created by the lovely and magnificently talented Claudia.
I used Bazzill for the base and the stamps are all from the new Easter Collection. I think this new collection is absolutely outstanding....I love every one of the images! Images are colored with copics. I used my new Nellie Snellen floral punch for the flowers. The papers are all from Magnolia.
Thank you so much for visiting my blog.
